Squirrels Heath Junior School

 Over the past few weeks we have been learning a life skill in the club, sewing to decorate a book mark. The children learnt how to thread a needle, how to knot the end of the thread, along with both, a running Stitch and cross Stitch. 

Some children fromYear 5 and Year 6 were invited to the Badminton Racket Pack session at Harrow Lodge Park Leisure Centre. They had great fun, while learning some key badminton skills and terminology.  The children took part in a variety of activities with the help of sport leaders.  Did you know that badminton is played with a shuttlecock and racket, on a court; which has white or yellow lines?  The bottom of a shuttlecock is called a base and the top is called a skirt, professional ones are made with feathers.

 This week, Year 6 used imovies to clip their adverts together and create a finished advert for the school.  The children used voiceovers, backgrounds and music clips to create a fantastic finished product!  Who knew the children could be so good at creating adverts with such passion?! We wish everyone in Year 6 an enjoyable and fun Easter break.
