Last week, we started to learn how to sew by practising running stitch. The last two lessons have consisted of learning  how to thread a needle with some wool and then using needle to weave the wool through some rug hooking canvas. To say some children had never sewed before, I was really impressed with how quickly they picked it up. Now we have practised running stitch, the children will begin to create a piece of work in the coming lessons. Have a look of the work the children have produced so far. 

This morning, the Y1s, Y2s and the Y5s have completed a den building activity that focused on teamwork, resilience and communication. Their aim was to make the most stable and waterproof den as a group. All the children worked very well together and never gave up even when they were finding it challenging. At the end, each den was tested to see how waterproof they were by throwing water over them whilst each team was inside. All the children were brilliant this morning and they really enjoyed themselves. Have a look below to see the children in action.
