🔹 Sports Lesson Focus 🔹
Year 2 have been focussing on developing their passing and receiving skills. Players worked hard on their footwork, learning how to move efficiently and control the ball under pressure. ⚽️
A key part of the lesson was finding space and supporting teammates, helping to build strong teamwork and better game understanding. Great effort from everyone—lots of progress being made!
Pre-School Ash have been exploring the human life cycle. They reflected on what they were like as babies, what they are like now, and what they might like to be when they grow up. They also really enjoyed matching their baby photos with their friends and hanging them on our washing line for everyone to see. During circle time. the children also talked through the different stages of life and shared characteristics of each stage. It was lovely to hear their thoughts and ideas about how people grow and change over time!

This week, Year 4's Show and Tell was all about sports, and we were so impressed by the incredible achievements shared!
One of the boys brought in his wonderful collection of skiing pin badges, each one earned by completing different levels on the slopes. He told us he’s heading off skiing again this year and is hoping to add another badge to his growing collection. Even more special, his Grandma lovingly sewed him a personalised banner to proudly display them all—such a thoughtful keepsake! ⛷
Then, one of the girls also wowed us with her fantastic display of swimming medals, earned through both school competitions and her swim club. She didn’t stop there—she also brought in some of the specialist training equipment she uses to build strength and take her skills to the next level. It was inspiring to hear how dedicated she is to improving her technique. 🏊🏼♀️
