Please remind your child to hand in their reading book and record when it needs changing. Thank you!
The focus of PE this half-term is teamwork. After warming up the children split into five groups. Each team collects cones of one colour. The children run a cone-collecting relay race, cheering each other on until all the cones are collected.
