We have had a very exciting week in Class 1 as we had our themed week of Circus! We were very lucky to have a real circus performer come into our school and teach us some tricks using the equipment he brought.
We were able to try juggling with bean bags, netting, clubs and rings, we all started by trying to catch the netting one at a time and giving ourselves more the better we got. if we felt confident we could move onto using the beanbags to try juggling, again we started by throwing one ball at a time and catching it with one hand and then moving onto more balls the more confident we felt.
Look! I can throw two nets and catch them! – Leo
I can throw a ball and catch it in my hand – Pud
We also had a try of spinning some plates on a stick, we had to work very hard to first balance the plates and then we used our stronger hand to try and spin the plates. First we started with one plate and if we wanted to we could try with more than one!
I have 4 plates spinning – Ollie
I have a plate on this hand and another here – Maya
This week was also World Book Day and we all looked amazing for our theme surrounding The Circus! We all enjoyed reading our story Ninja Nan, the story told us about a Nan who ran away to join the circus! We then all wrote our own letters to our families telling them that we were running away to the circus to become jugglers or acrobats.
We have all had an amazing week celebrating World Book Day and The Circus!
