The children of Lions' Class were fortunate to participate in a cricket engagement session on Friday morning. They practised their coordination skills and throwing and catching with their partners before putting their cricket skills into action.
Mrs Gilbert was very proud of the team work and positive attitudes of everyone during the activity. It was evident that the children thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity they were given.

While out on a village walk to identify structures as part of our DT learning, the children were excited to see a fleet of lorries collecting sugar beet from the local farm.
We counted 11 different lorries who, fortunately for us, had taken the wrong turning and had to go past us twice. The lorry drivers were kind enough to sound their horns and flash their lights as they drove past the children waving and cheering them on their journey through the back roads of Catfield.

Within our RE learning this week the children have considered the symbols of Easter and their importance to Christians. As part of this the children looked at different food items that are familiar to us at this time of year.
We were then able to make excellent use of the hot cross buns and linked them to our learning of fractions in maths. The children were tasked with sharing their hot cross buns between four friends in their lesson focused on finding quarters of a shape.

Within our art learning this term, the children of Lion's class have taken inspiration from the artist Gary Hodges to create their dragon eye sculptures.
The children have been practising their sculpting, marking and joining techniques when developing their creations.
The children were provided with primary colours with which to paint their sculptures and tasked with colour mixing to develop their designs.
The children of Lions' Class were asked the big question 'Do all animals eat the same food?', in their science learning this week.
We considered the question and made predictions based upon our prior knowledge and learning. The children decided that the best way to identify what an animal had eaten would be to examine its poo. The children donned suitable PPE in readiness for identifying the contents of three different 'poos'.
From their findings the children were able to conclude that all animals do not eat the same as each of the 'poos' examined contained different items which included bones, worms, grass and leaves.
