**Our art** **w**as based on our report writing with exploration with crayon and collage on card or paper (paper plates and A3 white cartridge paper). Shared stories were usually based around our report writings (cats - Slinky Malinky, ourselves - the childrens' own story writing).

**Fitness** For Term 2, our pod concentrated on learning various **Jump Jam** fitness activities (songs and dances) that we took part in every Friday after singing, either inside T1 or outside under the blue cover. **What a busy term! Phewwww!**
