French boxing

During Go Global week the Year 2s had a visit, in their sports lesson, from a French boxing expert. Here are some photos of them having a go! It was great fun but a bit tiring because after a while the gloves felt heavy. 

Go Global Week

This week we are going global. By Friday we will have visited 5 different places, Australia, Austria, Egypt, Alaska, and Uganda.

Today we visited Australia and found out that while it is summer here in France it is winter in Australia. We also learnt about Aboriginal art and had a go ourselves.

Commotion in the Ocean

Last week we read 'Commotion in the Ocean' by Giles Andreae. We made a joint display to show the ocean layers.

 

During Big Write we all wrote about the animals in the ocean. Here is Noémie reading her work.
