Athletics
The Reception children have been learning about the Olympics athletics events over the last few weeks. Today, we were learning about the different running events. We learnt that there are some important things we must do with our bodies to run well. These include keeping our heads up, eyes focused forwards and pumping our arms up and down to run quicker. Then we watched some videos of some professional athletes to help us before going outside to have a go ourselves. We did some jogging, running and sprinting across a short and longer distance.

Taco Making
And to finish the day off, the children have been busy making (and eating!) tacos this afternoon! Delicious!
Oil Pastel Drawings
Hedgehog Class used oil pastels for the first time today. We learnt about the techniques sgraffito (layering 2 colours over each other and scratching the top colour to reveal the colour underneath) and blending.
The children then chose their favourite landscape picture from a collection and then drew their own picture of a Mexican landscape using the new techniques they had been taught. We think their pictures look fantastic!
Forest School Art
We’ve carried on our Mexican themed Arts Week at forest school this afternoon. The children worked incredibly well together to pull lots of natural materials together to make this wonderful Mexican flag! Well done team!
Please note, there will be no forest school next week.
Textiles
This morning, we have been learning to decorate fabric using fabric crayons. The children used a stencil to create their own Papel Picado Bunting. We can’t wait to get these up in school!
Mexican Dance Workshop
The children all had a fantastic time participating in the Mexican Dance workshop today! Here’s how the children in Hedgehog Class got on…
