Movement Breaks in Class
As part of our Switch Up September campaign, children enjoy regular movement breaks throughout the day. These quick bursts of activity help pupils refocus, boost energy levels, and support their wellbeing, ensuring they are ready to learn and achieve their best. Sometimes, a few minutes of movement can make a big difference! 💪✨
Tips for reducing screen time 💻
Watch our children share their top tips for cutting down on screen time and making the most of every day.
Inter-Mile Challenge
Our Inter-Mile Challenge is well underway! Throughout September, children have been building their stamina, resilience and determination by practising their running and working towards completing a mile by running up to 10 laps. It's not just about being the fastest, it's about challenging yourself, improving your personal best and never giving up. At the end of the month, the fastest recorded time in each year group will earn a prize. Good luck, runners! 🏃♀️🏃♂️🌟
Inter-Mile Challenge Winners:
A huge well done to all of the children who took part in this year's InterMile Challenge! We were incredibly impressed by the determination, resilience and effort shown by everyone involved. Whether competing against others or striving to achieve a personal best, every participant should be proud of their achievement.
