What a fantastic week! We’ve had lots of great learning experiences. In PE, we have been focusing on gymnastics and this week, rolls (straight roll, barrel roll, straddle roll and forward roll). To build on the skills, the children combined other areas of learning to create a sequenced performance which included the rolls, balance, and travelling.
In computing, we have been learning about HTML (a language of websites). This week the children used their knowledge of HTML tags to remix the HTML of a website and modify elements of it.
In French, our focus has been ‘En Classe’. We have learnt classroom object and how to talk about what we have in our pencil cases. The children practiced asking and answering what they have, as well as including previous learning in their conversation.
Another great experience was the Gateshead Schools Music Workshop. It is always great fun. We practiced lots of music elements and some of our children got to go up to the front and play instruments too.

It has been a great start to the new year and Class Asia have come back ready to learn and enjoy their learning. A highlight this week was in art where the class learnt about tint and shade to develop 3-D art. The children learn how adding white creates tint and adding black creates shade.
