Basketball
Today we tried dribbling and shooting using basketballs. We found it a little bit tricky at the start to throw it so high but we were superstar basketballers by the end of the session, managing to score lots of points.
Table tennis
We had a brilliant time learning about and trying different table tennis challenges. Most of us enjoyed the challenge of hitting the skittles with the ball the best.

Friendship Song
In Music this half term, we have focused our learning on ‘Friendship Song’ by Joanna Mangona and Pete Readman. We enjoyed finding the beat and moving to the music before finding the notes B, G, A and E and playing them on the glockenspiels in time with the music.
How can I programme repeated patterns?
In year 4, we have been using the Logo programming language to write programmes on Turtle Academy to make repeating patterns. We planned, created and evaluated our own designs for a wrapping paper pattern.
