Thank you to everyone who joined in with our Healthy Half last weekend by going for a walk. The staff almost reached their 100 mile target but not quite. We will all try harder with this weekend’s challenge - more news of that later. In school this week we have been talking about having a healthy diet especially eating more vegetables. So, on Thursday we did a quick spot check to see what percentage of pupils are having some vegetables for lunch. The results can be seen below. Well done to Year 3 who, as you can see, were the best vegetable eaters on the day (mainly carrots). We will keep checking over the next few weeks (and give Year 5 a chance to show that they love vegetables but just struggle with carrots!)
So to this weekend’s challenge - we’d like families to join us in eating more vegetables and encourage you to share your veg-loving pictures on Facebook. Next week, we will be trying to get healthier by taking more notice of beauty around us.

This half term, we are going to get healthier. The staff are taking the lead, with the support of the School Council, to plan five weeks of activities for adults and children. Some will take place as part of classroom based learning, some will be part of the wider curriculum and some will, hopefully, take place at home. You are all welcome to join us.
The first week is about moving more. The children have been out walking and the council have requested some extra playtimes! This weekend we’ve asked the children to go for a walk and share their pictures. The staff are aiming to complete 100 miles over the weekend (collectively!) Next week, we will be trying to eat more healthily. Please help us by encouraging this at home. The council would like a competition between classes to see which class eats the most fruit and vegetables in school. The following week will be about taking notice of the beauty in our environment. After that we will be strengthening our relationships with the people around us. Finally, in the last week of half term, we will be doing something to pamper ourselves. We will keep you informed of how things are going and would be delighted if you join in with the themes each week. |
