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 πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ™Œ

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

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

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!

Well done to all of the boys and girls for their hard work making their wonderful egg creations.  They were all fantastic but we had to choose some winners in each class. Samantha and Cherry from the kitchen had the very difficult job of choosing a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each class. 

Well done to everyone for taking part.

Happy Easter :)

Y5/6 were all working so hard this morning, when all of a sudden, there was a knock at our classroom window! It was the Easter bunny! We were all invited outside to hunt for all the pink eggs!

 

It was all very exciting 🀩🀩🀩

We have all had a lovely first week back at school.

We have been catching up with our friends πŸ‘­πŸ‘«, talking about our lockdown experiences, thinking about things we are grateful for πŸ™Œ,playing games 🎲, and participating in arts and crafts 🎨

Big well done to the children who reached their AR reading target this term tooπŸ‘πŸ“š.  They all look very pleased with themselves.  I wonder how long it will take them to eat those eggs? πŸ€”

Check out our photos!πŸ“Έ

Today was a super exciting day as we welcomed back the whole school for the first time since Christmas!

Year 5/6 made the most of the dry weather and played games outside, it was so much fun!

It was really lovely to have everyone together again and we can’t wait to welcome the rest of our class back next week.  All the boys and girls have settled back in so well and I am so proud of them all.

Some overheard quotes of the day πŸ‘‚:

“I can’t wait to come to school again tomorrow!”

”I can’t choose my favourite part of today”

”it’s been a long 8 months” πŸ˜‚
