In year 2, the children enjoyed using the tennis net to feed the ball to each other.

Y3 have worked very hard to control a tennis ball and remain on the spot. They have now begun to serve a ball to a partner by aiming for a hoop.

Y4 children have been learning about Pregnancy & Maternity and Marriage & Civil Partnership for Diversity Day. Children discussed scenarios and decided if they were fair or unfair. We also discussed why the protected characteristics are important.

RA have had lots of fun during their S.O.D.A today, practicing their cutting skills.

Year 2 have been celebrating diversity. They chose to draw flags of their own cultures and countries.

[Yew Tree Primary School @YewTreeSandwell]

To celebrate Diversity Day, Year 2 have talked about race not just being about skin colour, but about cultural identity. They have drawn self portraits to show that we are all to be treated equally.
