Thank you to all the families who attended our first Saturday running event. It was lovely to see so many happy faces enjoying some exercise together! Thankfully the sun was shining. We will be holding more events throughout the year.

This half term, our focus in PE is athletics and developing our skills of stance and footwork.

The children in KS1 have been enjoying their PE lessons learning a multitude of skills and improving their fitness. The children in KS2 have been taking part in their fitness tests and have been too quick to snap. We are proud of their determination and resilience.

Year 6 have had a busy second week. We’ve had computing with Mr Riley in the Learning Hub, maths lessons focusing on place value and writing poems about The Blitz. Some children have also experienced glorious sunshine and torrential rainstorms during their forest school sessions.

The sun was out so we enjoyed many clubs outside. American football, netball, tennis, archery, running. We are pleased to be back!

Year 6 have had a brilliant start to the year. We have taken our maths learning outside to complete an active circuits session which challenged our additions and subtraction knowledge and started our Britain at war topic by learning some new vocabulary. The children have settled in well and we are looking forward to a fun year ahead.
