Health and Fitness Week

Always a popular week with the children, this year we brought in a company called A-Life who ran workshops for the children. Walking past the middle hall, we saw children jumping on trampolines, boxing, lunging and stretching. They learnt many ways to make sure they can stay active. Each class also started the day with "Wake up, Shake up' which again saw the children getting active and moving around. Our Wednesday morning Dodgeball Club is also proving increasingly popular and the children bound into school after the club.

Finally on the Friday afternoon, Mr Dorey organised a fun run for the whole school from Nursery to Year 6. Each year group completed up to 5 circuits of the school grounds from the wilderness garden and through both the infant and junior playgrounds. The teachers joined in and the accompanying music helped to encourage everyone - the theme tune from 'Chariots of fire' and 'Keep on running'! Mr Dorey rather impressively ran with every year group! Apples and Oranges also did a great job at cheering on everyone and one child pointed out 'The Fun Run was fun!'

Thanks to Mrs Douglas and Mr Dorey for organising the week.
