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!

We were so 'eggcited' today when Thea noticed somebody outside in our playground....THE EASTER BUNNY! We couldn't believe that he came to visit us today and he even left us some treats in our playground. Look at all of these happy faces.

 

Happy Easter boys and girls :)

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 🀩🀩🀩

 

Check out our video and photos!

The nursery children have been practising recognising their name and also becoming familiar with the letter shapes within their names. We used the cotton buds and paint to print over each letter.

Miss Moore enjoyed helping the children to decorate their Easter eggs on Thursday.  These are for the school egg competition and will be judged on Tuesday by our cooks, Samantha and Cherry.

Good luck everyone!

This week the boys and girls had a super week of learning.  They were learning lots of new things and tried hard with remembering our golden rules again.

Have a super weekend boys and girls. :)
