Welcome to Team Soundar Activities
Cricket
We had a great time during our cricket workshop today, developing our throwing, catching and batting skills.
Art
Making monotypes in art. We were inspired by the poem ‘Richmond Park’ and used carbon copy paper to add details.
World Book Day
As part of World Book Day and fitting with our new class text, Shackleton’s Journey, we have completed a training session to be part of Shackleton’s crew. Recruitment training involved:
– a balance test to see if they could handle being at sea
– tyre pulls to practise pulling the sleds full of resources
– water carries
– step stones for practising careful walking on ice
– teamwork and communication practise
– testing their endurance and stamina to see if they could complete the long expedition
They were very enthusiastic candidates and I’m sure Shackleton would jump at the opportunity to make them part of his crew!
DT
In DT this half term, we have been researching and designing our own bread. Today was finally the day to bake it. In groups, we made a dough before adding our own individual ingredients to flavour. We then formed our dough into our desired shape, according to our designs. The breads were a success and were thoroughly enjoyed by all!
English – The Tin Forest
In English, we are reading The Tin Forest. We had a go at making our own tin forest – creating trees, plants, toucans, tigers are more using cardboard and tin foil.
Chartwells Workshop (School Catering)
We enjoyed a workshop with Chartwells making energy bites. We discussed what foods give our body energy and what foods we should try to limit in our diets. The energy balls had some mixed reviews but many loved them and asked for the recipe.
