Year Group Expectations
PE
We have had lots of fun keeping fit through our Dance, Yoga, Circuits and Outdoor Pursuit activities this term.
DT
We really enjoyed looking at structures and how to make them stable. We worked in groups to design and make our own animal structures.
RE
Our RE learning this term has focused on St Cuthbert. Unfortunately we couldn’t visit Durham Cathedral, but they managed to visit us virtually so we got to see his shrine and learn a little bit more about him.
