Monday Assembly Blog, by Mrs Catterall
Date: 25th Jun 2018 @ 8:34pm
In today's assembly we talked about what we like doing in our spare time. We had lots of different ideas going to the cinema, football and playing on the trampoline with siblings. We looked at a question, which was: Are computer games damaging our health? We were then discussing about a boy who couldn't go to school for over a year because he just wanted to play video games. After that we looked at lots of opinions ( none of them were wrong, we all have lots of different opinions ) some were FOR video/computer games and some were AGAINST them. We then listened to a story about a girl who loved video games and she got a special parcel in the post. When putting them on she realised that people were losing their minds for video games. She became sad when she noticed how much time she had lost with her friends. We were then talking about things that people did and if it was healthy or not. We decided that 2/3 activities were healthy.

The Penguins enjoyed their visit to the zoo today and I think the highlights were (of course) seeing the penguins and the sealion show. We also had the chance to carefully stroke a bearded dragon during our session on habitats. A great day, beautiful weather , lots of animals and a welcome, cooling ice lolly!

Date: 19th Jun 2018 @ 7:15pm
We have had an amazing day in year 3. We loved our dancing every half an hour, some children felt it was more like a workout at times, it certainly kept us active!
I showed the children some old school dance moves and they have taught me to Floss! I have to say I am very proud of myself. The children across school have been amazing and have had a really enjoyable day.
Please collect in your sponsor money by next Wednesday and return to school in the envelope sent home last week.
Childline answer 2000 class a day at a cost of £5 per call. This service is extremely important to help support and safeguard children from all types of abuse, neglect and those who have worries of any kind. Every penny really helps. Thank you for supporting this important charity.
I have taken many photos, however as we were dancing they are mainly just a blur!! Here are a few of the clearer ones.
