Sports Day 2020!
Sun 14 Jun 2020Although we can't all be together in school we thought it would be good fun to have a 'virtual' Sports Day at some point next week. You can choose the day that suits you best during the week, hopefully the sun will shine! You can try all of the activities or just choose some that you like. Everyone in your house can take part, if they want to, or you can take part with a couple of friends as long as you remember to stay socially distanced.
For the Sports Day information please go to our Letters page. We hope you enjoy your 'virtual' Sports Day, please send your teacher photos so they can be added to your class page on the school website. A big thank you to Mr Hamilton for planning our Sports Day activities. Have fun!

What is this for?
The world is full of many wonderful things, people and experiences but we can forget to focus on these when times are hard. This is a place for you to think about, and be grateful for, the good things! What are you thankful for? Family and friends, petting a puppy, a favourite meal, bike rides, a sunny day?
Keeping a journal has been proven to help increase happiness and lower stress.
It really doesn’t matter if an event is something as simple as eating your favourite sweets, playing a game with your friends or hearing your favourite song on a playlist. If it made you feel happy – then it’s important. Write it down or draw it and try and explain what it was about the event that made you happy!

It was brilliant to see some brand new entrants joining in on the Eco Challenge – welcome! The Yellow House is creeping up on the Green House and there are only 10 points between them!
For the Green House, Jan went on a very successful minibeast hunt.

For the Yellow House, we had Lucy, Sophie, Ben, Ryan and Hanna Z who were taking part in a range of Eco activities such as helping with sorting the recycling, putting out the bin and hanging out the washing.
Keep up the great work everyone – 3 weeks left to join in if you would like to!

Active Travel and Cycle Safety in June!
Wed 03 Jun 2020As the weather (hopefully) continues to be as nice as it has been, we know there will be lots of you getting out and about. Sustrans and DfI (Department for Infrastructure) have provided us with activities and games to help us with staying safe when out on the roads, whether you are walking, cycling or scooting. There will be new activities posted each week for you.
This week there are 3 different tasks that have been saved into the Letters section of our website so please do check them out.
Road Safety Education Task: Child Cycle Safety
This week the focus is on cycle helmets – please ensure your child wears a cycle helmet every time they are riding their bicycle and that it is properly fitted and adjusted to reduce the impact of a fall or collision at slow speed. For further information on cycle safety: https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/cycling-safety
Sustrans: Scavenger Hunt
A fun activity to do when you’re out and about! There is a video to accompany this task as well: https://youtu.be/RIG8N38qKp4
