Healthy changes

Posted on Sunday 12 July 2015 by Mrs Taylor

As part of our SEAL theme of Changes, last week our SEAL statement focussed on making healthy changes. Some suggestions from Year 1 include:

  • have fruit dessert instead of cake
  • do more after-school clubs
  • ride a bike more
  • walk to the shops instead of driving
  • do parkruns with your family
  • go roller skating or skateboarding more
  • walk to school more
  • drink more water
  • run somewhere every day
  • eat more or different vegetables
  • ask to go swimming more

What healthy change could you make?

Change 4 life and Leeds Let’s Change can offer lots of suggestions.

A massive well done to the class for their first performance this afternoon. You all did brilliantly to bring this rather bonkers story to life!

Looking forward to Thursday’s final performance!

Code Club

Posted on Sunday 05 July 2015 by Mr Wilks

It was the last Code Club of the year on Tuesday. This term, we’ve had the highest participation in two years and also the highest number of female coders.

As well as using Scratch this term, we’ve started building our own webpages using Trinket.

A massive thank you must go to Linda Broughton who gives up her time every Tuesday to run Code Club. Thanks also to Mr Baynes and Mrs Freeman who have helped out this year.
