Anyone for Tennis?

Throughout the Spring Term, Year 4 have thoroughly enjoyed building upon their knowledge of Tennis whilst developing strategies in order to win a game against an opponent.  Through practice, the children have been perfecting their control of the racket whilst demonstrating their forehand and backhand techniques. as well as developing their knowledge of space and where best to serve the ball in order to score points against their opponent opponent.

Mindful Yoga

We have also thoroughly enjoyed our weekly Yoga lessons with Liesel in our Drama studio and perfecting the moves which we learnt in Year 3, as well as learning and practicing new skills and moves. Liesel helped us to adopt a better understanding of our core strength and energy fields and also taught us breathing techniques that we can adopt and utilise in any given situation such as square breathing, shark breathing and star breathing.  The Havering Touch  was a new technique that the children learnt this term, which is another strategy that we (children and staff) can draw upon to make us feel calm, relaxed and safe. In total, the children have learnt 34 Yoga moves which  they have been happy to share and demonstrate and in doing so are well on their way to becoming Yoga experts!

Thank you and Namaste Liesel!
