Year 5 PE

This half term Year 5 are going swimming. 

When they are not swimming, they are working on their breathing techniques and improving their stamina when running.

Some children find it hard to stop themselves from running as fast as they can, becoming tired and needing to stop. It takes a lot of discipline to control their speed, and they are learning that this enables them to extend the time and distance they are able to run for. 

Year 5 - Fun Run training

 Year 5 have been working hard to improve their stamina to run a mile which will come in handy at the Bannockburn Fun Run in March - have you booked a place yet? 

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!
