  Mini Triathlon

  Around 30 children in years 4, 5 & 6 were fortunate enough to take part in a mini Triathlon on Monday. Organised by the Brownlee Foundation. The children swam 50m, cycled 800m and ran 300m. The children were a credit to the school in terms of their conduct and behaviour, Miss Parle was very proud of them. The event would not have been as slick and enjoyable without the parent volunteers who gave up their time to supervise the children, many thanks to our parent volunteers!

  Cross Country

  Saturday saw the first race of the season at John Leigh Park. It was a glorious morning; perfect for a ‘jog’ in the park! Thank you and very well done to everyone who turned up to represent the school. The results were fantastic and have given us a great start to the season.

  Thank you to all who attended the Blessing Service on Sunday, it was a lovely time for our school community and great fun.  We are very fortunate to have such a close relationship with our church. Thank you also to the children who read from the Bible and the prayers, you all read beautifully.

  

• Pet Therapy

  Fri 13 Sep 2019
  This is our dog, Alfie, who has qualified to work as a Pets As Therapy dog.  He will be visiting school regularly to work with a small number of selected children who will spend time with him reading and playing.  Mrs Power will be looking after the referrals for time with Alfie, which will come direct from parents and from staff. After an initial session to assess the benefits to a child, parents/carers will be asked to give permission for their child to attend a further three sessions, where they will get to know Alfie and become comfortable with him.  Pet Therapy has been found to help children who lack confidence, those who face challenges in school and/or their personal life and those with additional needs. Alfie is a very placid dog; he will be accompanied by my husband, who has also undergone assessment for the project. A member of staff will be in the room at all times. We are delighted to be able to offer this addition to our work to support children’s mental health and wellbeing.
