Bravo 3GB for Healthy Lifestyles Week!

I am very proud of the class this week as they have given their all for Healthy Lifestyles Week. In school, they listened respectfully to visitors and enjoyed a range of interesting sporting opportunities and I was very pleased to receive emails to show how much children were enjoying exercise outside of school. We also recapped the need for a balanced diet and the dangers of smoking. We thought about how these things can affect mood, sleep and performance.

Harlem Globetrotter Basketball Visitor

Today we were lucky enough to meet Paul Sturgess, a professional basketball player and actor who gave a fantastic assembly as well as basketball session. The children listened carefully to his inspiring story and practised their dribbling skills with both hands.

Governors involvement from the Curriculum committee

The Curriculum committee meets every half term and yesterday governors thoroughly enjoyed listening to a group of year 3 children sharing French songs and confidently sharing their extensive knowledge on the geography and culture of France.

Governors were also super impressed with how articulately another group of children from across the school, could talk about physical and human geography. They explained how they use their skills and equipment to carry out tasks. Governors were happy to hear them talk about trips they had been on and the use of such technical vocabulary. Children were proud to share their geography books with governors, which clearly show progression from year 1 to year 6. Governors look forward next time to talking to mathematicians across the school.

Health and Safety Governor Committee Update

Governors met on Friday 26th May as part of the Health and Safety committee. They spoke to children in year 3 and 4 regarding the behaviour systems used across our school. It was clear to Governors that the children like the systems we have in place and believe them to be fair. The children could clearly see the benefits of following the BeSMART code.

The governors also spoke with the site manager, Mr Thomas. They asked him about the checks he carries out linked to site safety/maintenance, water safety, road/ traffic management and electrical safety. Governors were satisfied that his understanding of policy and procedure is robust and that his training is of a high level.

Firstly, thanks to all those lovely parents for helping out with some very excited and wind-swept children today. I was incredibly impressed with how much the children could remember from our Guided Reading, Literacy and History sessions and this trip really allowed them to show off their knowledge.

We explored the ancient town of Viroconium and learnt about how the Romans changed life in Britain. Having written about a Roman townhouse in a recent chance to shine, it was amazing to actually explore a replica! It was a jam-packed day full of great experiences. We made mosaics, raced in a basilica, dressed in Roman clothing, entered a hypocaust system and much more!
