In their PSHE lessons this term, Year 5 will be looking at ways in which they can take care of their mind and body. They began by looking at how food labels can help them make healthy choices when shopping. The class investigated a range of food and drink, including cereal, pre-made sandwiches, crisps and cooking sauces to better understand their nutritional value. The class were interested to learn that at a quick glance, some products appear healthy, but when you see the serving size, you realise that perhaps they are not as great as they initially thought!
The children in Pre-School have been learning how to brush their teeth and have loved having a go themselves using the big set of display teeth in their classroom. They 've been practising their brushing skills and learning why it is important to keep their teeth clean and healthy. 🪥🦷
They've also been enjoying the book 'Give me back my bones.' and exploring some of their bones in their body. The children can now confidently point out their skull, shoulder blade and collarbone! 🩻🦴💀
It's been wonderful to see their curiosity and excitement as they learn more about themselves and how their bodies work!

A huge thank you to Kevin Nelson from Cotswold Cutlass Fencing, who came in to school to give an exciting assembly all about fencing to the Prep children!
The children had the chance to learn more about this fantastic sport and see some fencing in action. Kevin has fenced for over 30 years, and has competed at a national level, with his highest ranking being 77!
He also told us all about the fencing club he runs at school on Friday lunchtimes for children in Years 4–6. We’re looking forward to seeing lots of our pupils getting involved and giving fencing a go! 🤺
