We’ve had a great day with Sharon from Hoopstarz today! We didn’t realise just how much fun or how many different things you can do with a hula hoop! And also how difficult it was.
All children from reception right up to Year 6 got involved and so did many of the teachers. What a fantastic way to have fun and get fit!
In Pe we have been following directions moving forwards and backwards travelling along, over and around.
The children went to church to baptise the baby. Father Rose told us all about the font, the Holy water, the white garment and the candle which is given to the new baby. We know that when we are baptised we are received into God’s family. After the baptism we went back to class and had a celebration with the cakes we had made.
Reception and Year Six shared a special welcome liturgy this week. It was lovely to see Reception starting their journey of faith, hope and love in our school and starting to work with their Special Friends.
African Day got off to a great start with a whole school assembly led by Mrs Innerdale.
Mrs Innerdale told us a little bit about the continent Africa and then showed us where Cameron will be working next year and the types of activities he will do.
Lots of fundraising activities took place throughout the day … penalty shootout, cake sale, raffle, guess teddy’s name, guess the number of sweets and nail painting. It was a great success!
After many African themed activities in class, the children then came back together in the hall for a final assembly. The raffle prizes were drawn and winner announced.
Well done and thank you everyone!
