WE ARE FIT AND HEALTHY!!

In school we are encouraging all the children (and staff) to be fit and healthy.

On Friday mornings the children in years 1 and 2 all join in with ‘Wake Up, Shake Up’.  Mrs Greenwood and Mrs Wood lead the fitness to music sessions. Recent research has shown that if children are active early in the mornings it improves their mental ability and concentration.

During the Spring Term some members of ‘Doncaster Knights’, who are based at Castle Park, are working with the children in Year 1. The children are enjoying these ‘Tag Rugby’ sessions immensely

The Year 2 children are working with a dance specialist every Wednesday afternoon and improving their dance skills.

During the dinnertime break on a Thursday lunchtime supervisors are leading games sessions and on other days our playground leaders are also using equipment to improve the playtimes.

We have also this term increased the number of physical activities after school. 25 children are regularly attending Taekwondo and another 20 have joined the Cheerleading club. This is in addition to our thriving Gymnastics, Football and Athletics clubs. The children are really benefiting from all these opportunities which we aim to continue to develop and improve.
