As part of ‘Number day’ today, the pupils took part in a tough but great fitness ‘accumulator’ which they thrived in, then produced their own gymnastics sequence using 90, 180, 270 and 360 degree turns. It was excellent having mixed aged groups together for a change to share abilities with each other.

It was great to have Mrs Flynn visiting Y5&6 on Thursday afternoon to inform the pupils about her career in the Environment Agency. They learned about how her role helps with the flood defences and how her career path developed from primary school, through to the role that she has now. Thank you Mrs Flynn. It was wonderful that you gave up your time to do this.

A huge thank you to all of the parents so far who have given up their vaulable time to come in to Jaguar class to talk to the children about the jobs that they do. Today it was Mrs Wild who we need to thank. The children learned all about hypnotherapy, what it involves and the skills that are required to follow this career route. Yet again, the pupils showed great interest and are really enjoying these sessions. They are now looking forward to Mrs Flynn next week!

A big thank you to Mrs Millward (and Kieran) who gave up their time to talk to the pupils in Y5&6 this afternoon about the work that they do for the rail company. It was really interesting to listen to and the pupils were very engaged with the images and videos that were shown.

Well done to the 18 pupils in Y5&6 who were selected for the indoor athletics event this morning at The Corbet School. They took part in several sprint relay events as well as field events which consisted of long jump, triple jump, vertical jump, speed bounce, javelin and chest push. The children encouraged and supported each other and displayed a sensible approach throughout the morning. Results will follow in due course……
