Shadow puppets

We had a visit from the Hand to Mouth theatre company who showed
us how to make shadow puppets. 




PE - hooray!

At last!  We changed into our PE kits and did some stretches to warm up.


We practised different balances.



We worked with a partner to mirror our balances.

Some photos of Book Week so far...

The children have been enjoying book week so far. We have had some really interesting visits from authors and it was great to meet Paul Geraghty! We are looking forward to our theatre workshops tomorrow.

Going on a Book Week parade...


Finding unusual and different places to share poems!
