We would like to say a big big thank you to the boys and girls in Mrs Kane's class as they have been very busy looking after our school grounds.  They noticed lots of weeds along the paths and got to work pulling them out.  Such a difference you have all made, thank you!!

Today we got outside for some outdoor play. Firstly we started off with our story time outside.  This was a real treat for us.  After story time we got very busy!!

We have now got a new stone area to play with our trucks and vehicles and it is has been very popular today.  The children also had lots of fun in our sand pit and they were very busy digging in the sunshine. We have 2 playhouses now and the children loved exploring how one house is big and the other one is smaller.

What a super outdoor play session today - we had lots of fun!

We have now skipped for 45 minutes! I am so proud of all the boys and girls and how much dedication and effort they are putting into our wee challenge!

At the start of this challenge some of the boys were very apprehensive and now I have them telling me how much they love skipping! 

It helps that we are getting beautiful weather to complete all our skipping 🌞🌞🌞🌞

We have done a total of 30 minutes of skipping now and it’s making us all feel FANTASTIC 😁😁😁😁😁

One boy said today that he felt like he was better at it today than he was yesterday 😁👍🙌

Others even informed me this morning that they practiced at home yesterday evening! Amazing dedication 💪

And then as if they hadn’t skipped enough I spied them skipping again at lunch! (Check out my sneaky window pictures 🕵️‍♀️) 

Half way there! Stay tuned for all our updates.

We all returned to the classroom before Easter after a long 3 months of remote learning.  We were all very excited to return to school, but it can still be very challenging adjusting to ‘normal’ school life again.  We talked about the 5 ways to help our mental well-being.  

Evidence suggests there are 5 steps you can take to improve your mental health and wellbeing. Trying these things could help you feel more positive and able to get the most out of life.  One of the five is exercise.  Before Easter we decided to take part in an exercise challenge!!!

This week, over the course of 4 days, we will be skipping for one whole hour!

Check out the video and photos from today! Mrs McClelland is joining in too of course but she isn’t half as fit as the Y5/6 boys and girls!

Our challenge will be documented here every day so stay tuned!
