Over the months of November and December, Year 1 and Year 2 had a series of special Multi-skills PE lessons coached by Mr Steadman from Inspire Sports.

The last session, on Monday 17th December, focused on Personal Challenges.  Children had to work together to:

• See how long they could balance a beanbag for;
• See how many shuttle runs they could complete in a minute;
• See how many star jumps they could complete in a minute;

They used running, sidestepping, jumping, balancing, throwing as well throughout the lesson and were completely active for the whole 1 hour of their PE lesson.
​Many Thanks goes to Mr Steadman from Inspire Sports who came in to coach and teach them these lifelong skills.

​Request from Miss Ganley for any Guided Reading books to be returned. We are missing several of the books that have been sent home since September. Please check your shelves and under the children’s beds! Thank you.

Request from Miss Ganley for any unwanted tights/trousers/jogging bottoms please. It is always useful to have a supply of spare clothes, particularly in Reception and while the playground can be wet and muddy!

On Thursday 8th November in the morning, most of our parents joined their children in the hall for a workshop with Miss Ganley and Mrs Ahmed.
​Thank you all very much for coming.

Last half term children in Year 1 have been exploring the season of Autumn. We went on a walk around the playground to see how Autumn changes the environment around us. We were very excited to find lots of leaves on the floor and said we felt much colder than in Summer.

Request from Miss Ganley
​Donations of any unwanted cuddly toys would be greatly appreciated in Year 1. Thank you.

Children in Year 1 have been praying for people who may be hungry during Harvest. We have thanked God for blessing us with lots of different foods and allowing us to eat everyday in school. We have also been thinking about how hard farmers work during harvest and thanking them in our prayers.
