Finding the balance! Young riders
BIKEABILITY Reception had a great time using balance bikes to help them on the road to riding safely. A friendly team from ‘Bikeability’ came into school and helped the children get a flying start. All of the equipment was provided and, despite the cold day, everyone had a great time. This is the first time that Reception have taken part in this scheme. By the time they get to year 6, Bikeability returns to help them navigate safely on the roads. WW2 DAY WW2 day was terrific and exciting. During the day, we always had to carry our gas masks and boxes. We also dressed up as evacuees. We watched a WW2 based film, played games that evacuees would have played and even put a fire out with an old fashioned hose. We used headphones to listen and interact with a story, to do with evacuees. It was very encouraging. To bring the day to an end, we went into an air raid shelter to hide from the bombing of the Nazis. It was definitely the best day of year 6 so far! Thanks to Daniel Spencer and Joshua Tennant in 6V WW2 NIGHT On Friday night, brave evacuees came to a sleepover where they watched films and did a quiz. Then they had an option of different foods such as chips, sausage or fish and chips. It was delicious. At 10pm the tired evacuees went to bed (although some stayed up later with their friends. How the teachers snore! In the morning, we had sweet buns (delicious) and a glass of juice. Thanks to Mckenzie, Margot & Hannah for the story. Ed - Thanks to the staff who gave up a Friday night and Saturday morning for this great experience. Thanks to the Bikeability team for working at our school.
