Cross Country Day

Well.... after some technical issues we now have a photo of the amazing Bella.It is blurry because she moves super fast! 
Although Cross country was a long time ago it was great fun and the children really loved it so here you are!
The children in Room 1 had been practising hard for the annual school cross country. We have learnt how to warm up, cool down and have talked about strategies that will help us achieve our goals. 
All those hopes and dreams come to light on the big day. We had a lot of fun competing and some stars shone on the day. Bella was outstanding, leading the field by a furlong!
Well done!

Teddy Bears Picnic and Pyjama day

If you down to Room 1 at  Vardon School you better go in disguise ..... for every bear that ever there was will gather there for certain because ... Today's the day the Teddy bears have there picnic.
On Thursday we had a teddy bears picnic and Brown Bear Barney came along.... he can be quite naughty at school and soon had all our teddies having great fun with their owners. 
We measured our bears, read to our bears, eat with our bears and wrote about our bears.
Our bears were very tired at the end and when Brown Bear Barney woke up on Friday morning he was wondering what happened to all his friends... where had they gone!
That is what happens to sleepy heads!

Balloon fun

The photos have just been released from the i-pod!
Look at the great fun we had in August! It was too wet to have sack soccer outside so Mrs Jones and the other teachers in the Year 2 team quickly devised a sneaky plan to get us motivated for writing. 
We all meet in the hall for some balloon fun. It was hilarious! 
Balloons were popping like guns as we had to pass them between people and duck under and over hoops. They were squashy and slippery and slid everywhere!  




Cool Crowns

In Room 1 we have been exploring Patterns and Relationships for numeracy. To show our teacher how much we know about this she got us to make crowns and we were Princes and Princesses for the day!
Maths was never so cool!

Production!

After many weeks of practise and a huge effort from everyone the night finally arrived. 
It was full of colour, costumes, culture and clapping. Room 1 children were scattered amongst the many cultures that performed. 
It was a dazzling experience which featured many star performances. Well done to everyone that was involved!
Here are some of our very cool Tongan dancers and Samoan drummers.


















Below is the link to the u-tube video of the entire performance!
