This term, we have invested in an after school club called Boxfit, run by an external company called BeGreat Fitness. The club has focussed on improving fitness while exploring aspects of boxing. BeGreat Fitness coach, Carmen, has built a fantastic relationship with all pupils by putting their mental wellbeing first. Each session is started with a fun game that enables them to share how they are feeling and what they have been up to throughout the week. The pupils are thoroughly enjoying the club and can’t wait to continue in Spring 2. Here are some snapshots of our pupils in action.

Year 6 completed Bikeability this half term. The course aims to support the children with staying safe on the road and learning how to signal in a safe way. The children initially demonstrated on the playground the manoeuvres that indicate to oncoming drivers which way they will be going, how to ride a bike safely and the ways in which a cyclist must be responsible when on the road. The year 6 children impressed the Bikeability coaches and received a glowing report for their behaviour, engagement and efforts!

Year 5 visited Normanby Hall for a hands on experience of life in Victorian times. They explored farming machinery and rural life, including making bread and rugs. They also learned how Victorians lived. During a guided tour of the Hall by Mrs Harding, the housekeeper, they role played and handled artefacts from the time. It was a thoroughly enjoyable and educational day.
