This term we are doing Athletics in P.E. Monday was the first time we have done this and we had so much fun. We worked in pairs to complete different activities using skills such as running, aiming and throwing. Before we finished we split into 2 groups and had a relay competition using the skills we had learnt. 

We are continuing with our topic of Horrible Histories this term. We have been talking about artefacts. We looked at some Roman Artefacts that Mr Roden had kindly let us borrow. There were coins, earrings and medals. We then visited Chorley town centre and went into the charity shops to see if we could find some artefacts of our own. We found lots of different things including records, vintage Beano comics and even a fossilised ammonite.

On Wednesday Mr Crofts returned to 8A!!! Mr Crofts hurt his ankle so hasn’t been with us in class for a few weeks. Everyone was pleased to see him and excited that he was back.

On Friday morning we did Art. We were looking at Egyptian Hieroglyphs and having a go at writing our names in Hieroglyphics. We then wrote secret words in hieroglyphs and challenged our friends to translate to see if they could see what was written. Everyone worked really hard and produced some wonderful work.

8A Mr Crofts is back
