The pupils in Year One have been learning about toys.  They drew toys from observation and they were particularly interested in robots.  They then went onto look at Eric Joyner’s robot paintings.  The pupils created their own robots using clay.

The pupils had a fantastic day at the Sports Arena and participated in a number of events.  They enjoyed racing and sprinting along the athletics track.  Some talented sprinters were spotted.
