Year 5 and 6 Wake and Shake

This half term Year 5 and 6 children have been taking part in a daily 'Wake and Shake' scheme! Our 10 minute Shake Ups are a fun way to squeeze short, 10-minute bursts of activity into their day - it all adds up! There are loads of other benefits too, like improved behaviour and self-confidence, better attention levels and improved co-ordination  and social skills. The Wake and Shake club is open to all year 5 and 6 children. It runs on a Monday and Wednesday, 8.30am to 8.45am and most importantly, it's FREE! The morning club had been  a raging success so far, well done to all those children who have taken part!
Have a look below to see what they've been up to...

Year 5 gym week

Year 5 are having their gym week this week, learning how to do a variety of indivudual, then paired balances before putting them into a sequence to perform.  So far we have practised the disk and arch balances and the front and back supports. This afternoon we even challenged ourselves with the shoulder stand!  We have been working hard on improving our core strength as this helps us to achieve and hold each balance.

Kestrel's PGL Residential - Part 1

Wow what a week!  Kestrels had a fantastic time last week at PGL Osmington Bay, Weymouth.  We all had a FANTASTIC week!  The children were absolute superstars.  They were well-behaved, polite, supportive of each other and great fun to spend time with.  Many overcame personal challenges from spending time away from home, to conquering their fear of heights, ALL should feel VERY PROUD of themselves!  Well done Kestrels!
