In football with Newcastle Academy this week, the children put their skills learnt into practice, by playing matches. Many goals were scored! Last week (4/7/18) involved practising some hand-eye coordination skills in throwing. A game of handball was played at the end. The trickiest part was to remember to stop once in possession of the ball.
In Science children were given a challenge. It was... to make a bridge that will support the weight of a toy car using eight sheets of A4 paper and sticky tape. The bridge had to be longer than 40cm and be able to support the weight of the car without being held or secured at either end. They could not tape their bridge to each side of the 40cm gap! This was definitely a challenge, but lots of fun!!
Today we had a session learning all about how to STREET DANCE. The children loved adding 'the floss' in the free style section.
