Correction-PE

The last post said PE is on Wednesday and Thursday. This should have said Tuesday and Wednesday. The PE days have not changed.

Bicycles, simple machines and PE

This term we are studying simple machines and how they transfer force from one place to another. The details of this theme can be found here:

To start this theme off, we are asking that the children bring bicycles into school so we can study the way in which a push on the pedals causes a faster movement in the wheels. They need to bring their bicycles tomorrow (Tuesday 26th April). They can be deposited at the foot of the steps up to the pod (near to Little Ducks) and we will help the children to carry them into the classroom. Children should not be riding their bikes around the playground before school.

In PE, the swimming sessions are now finished and the children will have 2 lessons of PE each week. They will therefore need PE kits on both Wednesday and Thursday each week.

Tomorrow

Please don't forget Songkran shirt and swimming gear tomorrow!

Songkran celebrations and next term's theme: Simple Machines

On Friday this week we are celebrating Songkran. Children are allowed to come to school in traditional Songkran clothes. If they are not wearing traditional clothes they should come to school in their regular uniforms.

Year 3 are celebrating Songkran in the swimming pool. They will need to bring their swimming gear in a bag.

The finishing time on Friday 1pm.

Next term, we are starting a theme on Simple Machines. In this theme the children will be finding out about levers, cogs, pulleys, etc. This will link to work on forces and movement.

On Tuesday 26th April, in the first week back, we would like the children to bring a bicycle to school if they have one. We will be studying the mechanisms of bicycles to find out how they work.
