Week ending 17.7.15

Well, what an absolutely fantastic week we have had this week for SPORTS WEEK.

We have learned how to be cheerleaders and then performed our routine in front of you all before Sports Day.  We have learned Kwik Cricket although we're not quite at 'The Ashes' standard just yet!  We have learned how to play Table Tennis, although we didn't worry about the rules, just how to control the bat and actually hit the ball.  Let's just say there were a lot of ping pong balls on the loose!!!!!

On Tuesday, we had the extremely high climb to the almost vertical slide, and many of us confronted our fears, battled through them and had a real sense of achievement of completing it all.  Some of us had a really good try and some of us have said we will try next time if it comes to Garrick Green again.  We also had a turn on a climbing wall and played team games and then did multi-skills too.  No wonder we've been tired out each day!

The rest of the week we have practiced the skills needed for Sports Day and we have loved it all.  We really enjoyed our first Sports Day especially the straight running races.  We really liked it when our mum's and dad's raced too!!

Unfortunately, this is our last blog post of our Reception year and Miss Banner and Mrs Sturman would like to say a huge thank you for the support you have given your child at home.  We would also like to say how proud we are of everything the children have achieved this year and hope that you agree that they have an excellent foundation upon which to continue their education.

We would like to wish you all a happy summer holiday and we're off to raise a LARGE glass of something cold to toast what a fantastic year we've had!!
