We had to use our eyes, our ears, our maths skills and teamwork to learn and perform our parachute dance. We had to count our steps and make sure we all went in the same direction to avoid a disaster!
At the end of the dance Mrs. Clarke was so proud of us that we played some fun games.
Finally we had to fit the huge parachute into a small bag - not an easy task! First we folded it in half and Skye noticed a semi-circle shape. Then we folded it into quarters and noticed a triangle. The triangle got smaller and smaller as we folded more until Mrs Clarke could fit it into the bag.
Wow that looked fun orange class!

That is a really good dance. I am a good dancer as well.
Well done orange class.

Red class had lots of fun with Mrs. Clarke and the parachute too. The children were able to show Mrs. Noon how they used the parachute. We didn't think they would ever stop laughing!
