The circus is in town

This afternoon we are learning circus skills. We have had lots of fun trying new things.

First we practised diabolo which is from China. Alex had fun trying to get it to spin. Emily and Jess said it was hard because it kept getting in a tangle.

Then we tried plate spinning which was just as tricky at first, but we soon got the hang of it. Joe was an expert before long and Matthew looked like a professional.

Last of all we tried poise which took really good skills in concentration. We were glad they were soft balls!

Superhero T-shirts

At the end of last half term many of you came to see our superhero fashion show. It was a great success and we would like to say thank you for coming. We had a great time designing and making our t-shirts and without lots of help we would not have been able to finish them in time. We had to learn lots of new skills, such as tie dying, sewing and cutting techniques. Special thanks to Mrs Martin and Mrs Hurst for helping with the sewing and also Mrs Dove, Mrs Mowle, Mrs Hurst and Mrs Leeper for helping us to tie dye our t-shirts.

Greeting from Bananaman!
