This week the children have been taking part in different sports activities. We started by constructing our own tennis net and then in pairs we played a game of tennis. We learnt over and under arm throwing of the ball. We practised trying to hit the ball back to our partner. This helps us to develop our strength and hand and eye coordination. We have also been completing various sports activities in preparation for our sports day, which the children have really been enjoying. We cannot wait to show you our skills on Monday. 

The children have been doing a great job of looking after our tomato plants which we planted at the end of last term and the children were really excited this week to see that we had some tomatoes starting to grow. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we can taste them. 

We have also been impressed with how much vocabulary the children use during our singing sessions. They know the words to I had a little turtle, ring a ring a roses, hammer hammer hammer and many more. I'm sure they will be able to sing them for you at home. 

Next week we will be reading Finding Spot at the Beach, a wonderful hide and seek story.
