Jimmy, Zane and Taine decided to make an explanation video about the rock cycle. Watch as Professor Porkchop explains...

Rock cycle dance

Maggie raps the rock cycle as the group Jordana, Maggie, Hayley, Lauren and Lucy created and performed a dance that demonstrates the steps in the rock cycle. We were totally blown away by this performance!! These girls really worked their strengths well within the group, and challenged themselves to rewrite the lyrics to a rockcycle rap! Well done girls

Endball challenge

Yesterday Room 2 had their endball tournament against Room 7. Sadly we lost, but we tried our best and I'm sure that we will win next time!!! It was a close game ending in a draw at full time. It went into extra time where we just let the win slip away. Great try guys! Posted by Lauren and Maggie :-)

Creating games

This week we are creating new games in groups, so that we can practice the skills we need to play End Ball better.

These photos are of the groups trailing their games with another team, and fixing the problems before we play the game as a whole class.

Next week we will be playing all the games.

We are also looking at what makes a good team and leader.
