Children in The Hangout love their weekly PE Plus sessions. During these sessions they develop their fundamental skills. They enjoy improving their jumping, hopping, running and balancing skills. 
 

This week, Year 3 have been exploring different types of mechanisms. We reflected on some we learned in Year 1 and then #evolved our learning, looking at different ways to make things move. 
 

Last week, Reception #enjoyed painting flowers with watercolours, inspired by the artist Gustav Klimt.  This week, we explored scrunching and twisting tissue paper to add 3D flowers on top. We put all our pieces together and made one big piece of Art!

What a lovely, therapeutic afternoon we had when Reception’s ducklings visited The Hangout. We loved watching the ducklings moving, one which had just hatched. We carefully handled them, fed them and had a go at drawing them. Some children even built a little play pen for them and added toys for…

Year 3 have worked so hard this week across the curriculum.

It was a great start to our new Computing topic, as Year 3 enjoyed learnt to create their own compositions on the iPads. They learnt to use chords, melodies, add a rhythm and choose their own instruments.
