Summer 1 - outdoor PE will continue to be on a Tuesday afternoon. 

Over the next few weeks, we are taking our writing inspiration from the Chinese story 'The Magic Paintbrush'. To celebrate this, we spent Monday morning learning how to use chopsticks, trying different varieties of rice and eating some crispy seaweed. The rice was popular, but we didn't have many fans of the seaweed! After our taste test, we learnt some basic Chinese phrases which we will be practising during registration this week. As our book is 'The Magic Paintbrush' we thought we should do some painting. However, in the art cupboard we found a strange box with some Mandarin written on it. We used Google translate and it said, 'magic brushes'. We had to try them out! We discovered that they magically added colour to our pictures using just water. Several of the children were amazed that when they said a specific colour the paintbrush magically painted that colour!
