June 20th - 24th 2016
Health and Well-being week is back! Our children have been taking part in activities encouraging healthy lifestyles and physical and mental well-being. We have organised a range of enrichment activities across school for different age groups including hockey, performing arts, hula-hooping, kurling, cricket, metafit, street dance, tennis and an assembly based on safety in water.
As part of the week, we held a Disability Awareness Day on the Monday. We were joined by representatives from MENCAP and had coaches/parents sharing their experiences and skills in wheelchair basketball and blind cricket. Many children took part in asthma awareness workshops and dance/kurling activities with a focus on disability and how it shouldn't stop people accessing sports, fitness and health.

Children can wear sports clothing and footwear for the entire week; this does not necessarily need to be school PE kit.
Class activities will promote healthy choices such as looking at balanced diets, anti-smoking and being sun-safe and well-being activities such as peer massage, philosophy for children, anti-bullying, e-safety, stranger danger and team building.
On Friday 24th June, we will finish off with our exciting competition, Dress a Fruit/Vegetable, which was a huge success last year. All children are invited to participate. Those who wish to take part will need to bring their dressed vegetable in on the morning of Friday 24thJune. Please name your dressed vegetable (make it as funny as you like!) and ensure labels have your child’s name and class on it too. The entries last year were exceptional! (See letters section for pictures).
A special thank you also to our school Parents’ Association for contributing funds towards bringing in some of the specialist providers and to parents who have volunteered their time to deliver activities.
Many thanks,

Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 will take part in an ‘Ultimate Dodgeball’event.
A copy of the sponsorship form has been sent home with your child. Please consider sponsoring your child for this event, and where possible, reach out to extended family and friends too. 80% of the money raised will go directly to the charity, who use their funds to fight against heart disease through research, prevention and care. 20% of the money raised will come directly to school.
Please ensure all sponsorship money has been handed to the office by Friday 1st July in a sealed envelope, labelled British Heart Foundation.
We’re really looking forward to this event and are pleased that we are able to support British Heart Foundation in the process.
