Wellbeing- Get dancing!

Friday 29th April is International Dance Day.

Why don't you have a go at some different dances

Whether it’s Foxtrot, Jive, Gangnam Style, disco boogie, Rockstar, or kicking back with some Hip Hop, there's nothing like a bit of dancing to lift moods and feel positive.

Here are just a few links to some dance routines that you could try at home.

Sporty Year 6

Year 6 have been getting very sporty recently. 

Not only have they been joining everyone else in the daily run, but also developing their skills in goalball and hockey. 

The staff and children have noticed their improved stamina and overall fitness. 

After a year of being at home more, with increased screen time and less movement, exercise is very important for wellbeing and mental health. This links with their current Science learning about the impact of diet and lifestyle on the way their bodies function (mentally and physically).

Walk to School Week was great - now let's try and walk EVERY week!

Walk to School Week 2020 was great - children at both sites made a really great effort to walk, scoot, cycle and 'park and stride' to school during Walk to School Week and hopefully will continue to use active travel to and from school for the rest of the year. 

Here are just a few photos that represent our Walk to School Week, from signatures and stickers, to badges and banners. Well done to Pear, Walnut and Aspen classes for the photos.

Indigo and Emerald House Assemblies

This week Indigo and Emerald House Teams had their cross-site House Assemblies at the High Street Site. After a brisk walk over by the KS2 children from Manor Way, Indigo and Emerald House Assemblies were led by Mr Griffiths and Mrs Sammarco, who wore her super special, spangly emerald jacket!

Mr Griffiths told Indigo all about a young blind pianist who has overcome his sight problems to become a famous, inspiration musical genius! The children got to watch a video of his amazingly impressive skills and talked about they can use him as inspiration for their dreams and aspirations.

Mrs Sammarco shared different things and people who inspire her, and reminded the children how they can inpsire her with their running by taking part in the annual Fun Run on Sunday 29th March. She also announced an art competition (she is inspired by lots of artists) to design a masterpiece for the 4th Plinth in Trafalgar Square - ask your teacher for more details if you would like to enter!
