On Tuesday, 5CC practised their passing and evasion skills in PE. Looking at football this half term, there was a focus on both attacking and defending in the session. Attackers developed their passing and receiving skills with an emphasis on movement and communication. This later evolved into attackers needing more agility when faced with the presence of a defender. Attacking and defending was indeed a significant focus of the lesson, the children discussed how to succeed in both roles: the attackers require loud, clear communication, control of the ball and accurate passing whilst the defender needs to be agile and quick to react. Awesome effort, class!

Whilst hook week is over, the expedition has only just begun. 5CC created their own galaxy art using oil pastels and blending to create light and shade. Each galaxy, like every star in our universe, uniquely different as crafted by our 30 artists!

The class also finished their model solar system and matched the paints to their planets’ distinct colours, ready for our learning about our universe, movement and the unseen forces at play. Awesome work, 5CC!

The end of the week was also signalled by a few (15) rocket launches of our own. With perfect flying conditions and pre-flight checks all green, the class all launched their rockets with most completing their journey across the MUGA. Top job!
