Body, mind and egg?

Kingfishers have had an exciting opening to the term, developing our bodies, minds and eggs.

To develop our bodies we had a visit from a Tae Kwon Do expert. Not only did this provide us with an exciting change to our normal PE lessons, we also learned how to perform an Ap Jireugi (front punch) and an Ap Chagi (front kick)... we also promised not to do these on our friends, siblings and parents.

In addition to this, we discussed how we can keep our bodies healthy. We learned that we need a balanced diet that includes carbohydrates for energy, dairy foods for strong bones and teeth, protein for muscle growth and fibre for healthy tummies.

We gave our minds their regular work out in English and Maths, as well as learning how to protect them (and our gadgets) by staying safe on-line; we now know that if we see anything that we aren't sure of on-line we need to speak to a trusted adult. 

On Monday, we developed our understanding of eggs by looking at some that were,,, well.. odd. As well as using lots of interesting adjectives to describe the size, shape, colour and texture of each one, we also imagined what creatures may have laid them... even the ones that looked suspiciously like a passion fruit, mango and a melon.
