Healthy Body, Healthy Mind Week!

Japan! Japan!

The Squirrels thoroughly enjoyed learning all about Japan. Throughout the week, we explored the country's geography, major cities, traditional food, clothing, and rich culture. The children were fascinated by everything they discovered and showed great enthusiasm for their learning.

Our week was also packed with exciting activities, including Zumba, tennis, and Sports Day! The Squirrels demonstrated fantastic teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship, taking part in every activity with great pride and enthusiasm.

To round off the week, we performed an outstanding showcase for the other Year 1 classes, sharing everything we had learned about Japan. We were incredibly proud of the children's confidence and hard work, and the audience was thoroughly impressed by their fantastic performance.

What an unforgettable week of learning, fun, and achievement!

Umberslade Adventure

We had an amazing time at Umberslade! The children thoroughly enjoyed spending the day outdoors and learning in nature beyond the classroom.

We began with an obstacle course, and I must applaud the determination and enthusiasm shown by every child. No one gave up, and everyone encouraged one another throughout the activity.

Next, we completed a nature trail and took part in a scavenger hunt. The children loved following the clues to find a variety of natural objects, including leaves, feathers, and signs of wildlife. Later, they worked together to build dens using sticks and pieces of bark. The Squirrels were true team players, showing excellent cooperation and creativity.

Finally, the children had the opportunity to enjoy the low-ropes assault course, with the zip line proving to be the most popular activity of the day!

The children were exceptionally well behaved and made us all incredibly proud. What a fantastic day of adventure, teamwork, and outdoor learning!
