This week we have been learning all about plants. The children have shown an interest in drawing different flowers and we looked at the different shapes and parts of a plant. Some children were able to name different parts of the plant as they were drawing it. We looked closely at what colours we…

This week we used our prior knowledge of ‘underarm throw’ to begin throwing and catching to friends. We recapped target throwing at the beginning of the lesson and most were ready to move on.

We learnt the importance of knowing our partner is ready to catch for their safety. Making eye contact,…

It was super fun and they very very tasty!
