Wow 2 Purple certainly know how to use our new sensory circuits!
So this years theme was ‘Out Of This World’ and wow what an amazing day we had! Here are just some of the fantastic pictures of the amazing costumes, beautiful art and creative activities we did. We also had an ‘out of this world ‘ workshop with Josh from RTC.
On Monday, 4 Blue were busy taking part in the ‘Little Inventors Challenge’. We had to design a wind powered invention that would solve a problem, make something better or just create something fun. To help us with our designs, we created a graffiti wall of wind powered ideas. Then we took part in a hovercraft race. We made a wind powered hovercraft using a balloon, a sports bottle cap and some blu-tack. We all had a great day!

In PE this half term, Year 4 are learning how to play hockey. This week, they have been practising their dribbling, passing and stopping skills with their partners.
In DT this week, the children have been making a congratulations card which had to have a moveable part. The children learned how to use split pins to make a pivot for a lever. They had to complete a full design process, making several initial designs, a final design, all the while evaluating and improving their work.
Then the children had to make their card, they had to constantly measure and adjust their designs to ensure that they were successful. Their hard work has really paid off.
