P.E - 

Play Leaders - Summer 

"I enjoy playleading as I get to have fun, help other children and get children more active. My role as a playleader is to get children to move around and be more confident. My role builds confidence and helps children become active through play. If I could change my role as a play leader, I would be given one group of children each term so I could get to know them well. To be a good play leader, you need to be respectful, confident, be good at listening and have leadership skills." Year 5 and 6 play leaders.

Computing 

Phase 1

We love computers, we enjoy playing games

We used the Beebots and made them move to where we wanted them to

We remember scanning people with the X-Ray in Nursery

Phase 2

It is very helpful for the modern day, I got confused at the start but wasn't confused by the end

You need to keep your password safe otherwise people would be able to go on your account

Using the VRs made it seem like I was really there

Phase 3

Being on a computer is the main thing I like about school, Computing makes me feel relaxed

I loved creating the maze game because you didn’t need to control it and it was a great experience

When we used the VRs you could see back in time

My favourite thing has been the PowerPoints because we love creating them, we got to include pictures, format them and it we didn’t get confused.

Wellbeing 

What is SMILE?

A time where we can express our feelings to someone and enjoy life.

It’s for when you’re upset or if your mood is off.

We learn about anti bullying and you should be nice to each other and listen to each other.

What do you do in your wellbeing/SMILE time?

Different activities like anti-bullying or go on the laptop, draw pictures

Sometimes we do colouring, we go outside or have music, the daily mile, just dance.

We draw, some play cards, some meditation, yoga.

How do you think it helps you?

Sometimes I get a bit stressed about work and smile time releases it and I get to spend time with my friends.

It helps people socialise and make new friends.

It helps make your emotions feels happier. We get to mess around with our friends and cheers us up.

Yes, it helps make your emotions feels happier. We get to mess around with our friends and cheers us up.
