Year 2 have been keeping fit by learning how to skip. Our champion can skip for a count of 45 jumps! Can you skip more than that? 

Year 2 have been learning about the Djembe drum. We talked about the materials used to make the drum and listened to master djemebe drummers before creating our own rhythms.

A huge well done to Year 2 who ran their hearts out this afternoon at the Cross Country Tournament in the glorious sunshine. They showed a true determination to win and a wonderfully supportive team spirit.
