Year 3 have been lucky enough to spend Wednesday afternoons with Boxing coaches, training them in the art of Boxing.  They have had great fun playing fitness games and learning the Boxing stances and some Boxing moves – jab, power, hook, uppercut.  They have even had the pleasure of training with current Youth Olympic Games gold medallist and Team GB hopeful, Karol Itauma (in red in the photos).

Welcome to all our new children and families to Rowan and Chestnut from the Year 3 team.

It was really lovely to see all the children looking so smiley, smart and enthusiastic on our first days back.

For your information our PE day is Tuesday.  Please can you ensure your children have a PE kit in school that is clearly labelled and any jewellery (e.g. earrings, etc.) is removed.

Many thanks,

The Year 3 Team

Summer Term Year 4

Celtic Crosses were used as sign to Christians of a place were they could worship. They were used because they couldn’t build churches quickly enough. Having studied different Celtic Crosses we identified and sketched the parts we liked best. We then used these to influence our own art work. Now we are going to use them to design our own Celtic Cross and then build it out of clay.

King Ethelbert recruited the help of year 3 in solving his Anglo – Saxon framers problem.  He needs all fields to have a perimeter of 28M. The children used their maths knowledge to help solve his problem.

This term we have had lots of opportunities to try new sports and learn new skills in PE, from boxing to golf to …

vaulting.
