Year 5 have been preparing for Sports Day this year by competing in a wide-variety of sporting activities in a bid to seeing how prepared they are for the big day next week. Relay races, football dribbling, balancing races and the traditional throwing a ball into a bucket competition. The children were able to direct others to where they needed to be in order for each competition to run smoothly, whilst also being able to identify the winning teams.

Whilst this was a chance for the children to have fun and compete with and against each other, it enabled them to develop their skills of communication and organisation, as well as their team building skills too.

Isle of Wight - Y6

Here are some pictures from Year 6's trip to the Isle of Wight so far...

Nursery PM Dance

After the main dance event in the morning on Friday it was time for the afternoon Nursery children to dance to Meghan Trainor's 'Better When I'm Dancin''.

Nursery Sports Day

After the disappointment of the bad weather postponing the main Sports Day on Wednesday there was at least some clear skies on Thursday for the Nursery Sports Day. The children participated in various different races, including a space hopper race, ring on head race, hurdle jump followed by going through a hula hoop as well as the traditional egg and spoon race – which thankfully contained fake eggs!

The children, parents and staff all enjoyed what was a brilliant event that saw some very good competitive races but most importantly people having lots of fun.

Curriculum Enrichment Project

This term Year 5 have the opportunity to complete a mini course in cookery, dance or film making. They are learning new skills and useful new knowledge about their chosen subject. The project got off to a great start, with very positive reports from pupils and staff.

Reception - 'My Magical Garden'

The reception children attended the 'My Magical Garden' workshop on Tuesday and created their own magical gardens. When they returned from the workshop some of them decided to draw the magical gardens they had created using their imaginations.

Healthy Minds - Art Therapy

During 'Health and Well-being week' the children are experiencing many different activities to develop their understanding of improving their well being. Art therapy lessons, are providing the opportunity to think about themselves and what them special. Using words, drawing and colour, the children have expressed how they feel and shared what is important to them. Embarking on a journey of discovering, they have learnt many interesting facts about each other.
