Health Week

It's been health and well-being week at school for my older two boys and they have had an absolute blast. As well as the cycling events https://www.blipfoto.com/entry/2059207732354875760 which took place on Monday and Tuesday which saw the school collectively cycle over 2000 miles and each pupil win a special yellow jersey there has been a plethora of health and well being activities. In amongst normal everyday class activities they have had the chance to try a whole range of sports, including reaching the giddy heights of the climbing wall, throwing your friend over your shoulder in judo, twisting your whole body round your legs (does that even make sense?) in hip hop dance as well as rugby, cricket, Zumba, street sports, yoga and basketball to name a few.

They have made smoothies and talked about healthy eating, had classes from the dental smile team and from the police drugs team. Even the French class had a focus on healthy eating with a catchy song about loving the fruits and part of my middle boy's homework task involved coming up with a sport for every letter of the alphabet. Could you do it? It's not easy but some family teamwork and with thanks to J K Rowling he managed.

There was an open morning today to see part of what has been going on and so the littlest and I got to test out lots of things including brushing lily the gorilla's teeth.
