PE
This half term we are doing gymnastics in our PE lessons and our unit is called ‘High, Low, Over, Under’. This week the children enjoyed using the apparatus.
The Super Star
The children have started to learn the songs for our nativity ‘The Super Star’. They also have a line to learn, this is stuck in their reading records. Please help them practise saying this line. Our performances are on Tuesday 12th December at 9.20am and Thursday 14th December at 2.15pm in the infant building hall. They have all brought home a letter saying what part they are and if they need to bring in any clothes as part of their costume.
