Year 4 thoroughly enjoyed their PE session today with the parachute and lots of sunshine. 
 

What a fabulous time we’ve all had at Lowther. The sunshine even made an appearance. Lots of fun, running around and giggles were had by all. A really lovely end to the term.

This morning Yr4 took part in some rounders practice. They practiced different throwing techniques, learning the best throw to cover a greater distance as well as a good bowling throw. 

The children then practiced some team games putting the techniques into practice and learning the different…

Year 4 have enjoyed experimenting with colour using tinting and shading techniques to create an ombré effect. They have used paints and oil pastels to try out their art skills. They did a wonderful job!
