This half term, we have begun our exciting textiles unit, focusing on developing key sewing skills. We started by learning and practicing the running stitch, which the children have used to create different pieces of fruit. After cutting out templates and pinning them to felt, they carefully cut the shapes and used running stitch to assemble their designs. So far, we’ve worked on making oranges and kiwis, and I’m incredibly impressed with the children’s creativity and effort. I can’t wait to see their final fruit bowl masterpieces come together!

Today, Year 3 and Year 4 had an exciting opportunity to visit Delta and participate in a basketball tournament against Wellgate Primary. The event began with warm-up exercises and dribbling and passing practice to get the children ready for the games. Afterward, they were divided into groups to compete in short matches. The children demonstrated fantastic sportsmanship, making it a fun and enjoyable afternoon for everyone. Take a look at the children in action below!
