DT - Textiles
Robins expertly using a sewing machine, pins, scissors and needles to get to work making their explorer bags! They made the main body of the bag, a strap and a long handle to keep their hands free to hold things, climb and much more while they go and have their own adventures! I’m so proud of their determination and effort to make their bags, there were so tricky parts to make but perseverance shone through, well done explorers!
PE
As Robins have been discussing attacking and defending skills in sports Miss Jones has helped Robins to put these skills to the text in some exciting games of Tag Rugby! Robins had great fun and had to use dodging, change of directions, change of speed and team work skills to support them in their games.
