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!
Today Year 2 planned an led a collective worship based on the theme ‘He is risen’. The children chose to include some images of the sunshine on the focal point because Jesus rose, just like the sun rises each day. In addition to this the children thought how the sunshine radiates warmth and light just like Jesus does everyday. During the liturgy the children were invited to collect a sunshine from the focal point and write on this how they try to radiate Jesus’ warmth and light in their everyday lives.
Year 2 had a great day with Sharon from Hoopstarz on Tuesday! The children had a great time learning many new tricks with a hula hoop! What a fantastic way to have fun and get fit!
This week we have had a tennis taster day with Blaydon Tennis Club.
All children from Years 1 – 6 had the opportunity to practise their tennis skills and have been given a free session at the tennis club.
Year 2 planned and led their own collective worship on Thursday. The theme for the liturgy was Good Friday. The children thought carefully about how we would gather, what the scripture reading would be, how we would respond and what our mission would be.
It was a very thoughtful liturgy with the children reflecting on Jesus’ strength, bravery and forgiveness that he displayed in the lead up to his crucifixion.
