We have been looking at balance and movement in PE. This week we got our new wall bars out. They are great fun and we practiced lots of different ways of moving across the bars and balancing on the beam. We also had some other floor equipment out to practice balancing on different parts of our bodies.
Dinosaur Mess!
We are making dinosaur eggs. We dipped paper in glue and stuck it to the balloons. We had to cover the whole balloon in paper. Then we left them to dry. We had lots of fun and made lots of mess!
Clay Dinosaurs
We made dinosaurs out of clay. It was good fun. Once they were dry we painted them.
Gingerbread
We made gingerbread. We used brown sugar, margarine, golden syrup, ginger and flour. We mixed all the ingredients together and then rolled out the dough and cut shapes out. We had all sorts of different shaped cutters. We then iced them. We really enjoyed making gingerbread and can’t wait to taste them!

The Great Fire of London

The wind also helped by blowing the fire to the next house. We said that the people of London would be very sad to watch their houses burn.
