Olympic Week We have had a great week in school with our Olympic theme . The children have taken part in many activities including speed skating, aerobics, hockey, tag games, Wii challenge, yoga and parachute games. Years 1,2 and 5 have had workshop sessions of Capoeira and Karate.
Remember that tomorrow is our Olympic Challenge Day and children are invited to come to school dressed as a sporting hero, donations of £1 please. Money raised will be donated to the ‘Japan’ disaster fund.

We would like to thank Mr Merchant for all his hard work putting together all the activities for this week.
