We worked on our active yoga. We demonstrated our fundamental movement skills as well as our flexible moves.

Class 3 had lots of fun doing some active yoga. We learnt lots of yoga positions and could do these whilst moving around the hall. We learnt how to do yoga poses both on our own and with a partner. Marie-Claire was so impressed with our flexibility and balance.





Class 4

This afternoon, Class 4 had the chance to take part in a Step Fit aerobics class as part our own Health & Wellbeing Day with Marie-Claire. We loved coming up with our own routines after learning the moves from Marie-Claire and are aiming to continue to do at least 60 minutes of being active every day โ€“ even when not in school!

Red Nose Day

19th March 2023 By rebeccaaspinall

On Friday, we took part in raising money for Red Nose Day. We all came to school dressed in our red sporting clothes and took part in a skip into spring event. The Sports Leaders did an amazing job of organising and delivering a range of skipping games. The sports leaders gave out certificates to the children who demonstrated our Sainsburys Values. Those lucky children then got to take on the teachers. Who could skip the longest, the children or the teachers? Well done to the children, who came out on top!

Well done to everyone, we loved seeing your determination in our skipping events.

Thank you to everyone for their kind donations.

Women in Science

14th February 2023 By rebeccaaspinall

In school we have enjoyed learning all about significant women who helped change the face of Science.

Class 1

Class 1 learned about the first woman who went into Space! It was so interesting and very inspiring ๐Ÿ™‚





Class 2

We learnt all about Caroline Haslett.

Caroline Haslett was an engineer (someone who makes or works with machines and other mechanical equipment).

She wanted more women to be scientists and engineers and she believed that electricity could change women’s lives for the better and free them from exhausting housework. Caroline proved that women could do technical jobs just as well as men and could have careers in new fields of work.

Look at our amazing work ….



Class 3ย 

Class 3 looked at Marie Curie, who researched radioactivity and found a cure for cancer.

We looked at her amazing achievements and how she has made such a huge difference.ย  We learned that she was the first woman to to win a Noble Prize and each made a PowerPoint to show what we had found out.

Class 4ย 

In Class 4, we looked at Ruth Benerito and her amazing invention of wrinkle-free cotton! She also created this cotton to make it stain and fire proof, making this cotton material ideal for using in uniforms of doctors and firefighters! Her work helped the cotton farmers continue to make money and has made our lives a lot easier today!

We worked in our groups to present what we found out about Ruth before creating some fact files on her.
