Active School
Active Schools Week
Our Active Schools Week is being planned for the second last week of school this year from the 9th until the 13th of June. It will end with our school sports day and the week is going to be jam packed with activities to end our active school year with a bang.
To tie in with our whole school focus for the year, dance, we are organising a whole school dance a thon for one of the days during the active schools week. The children will have sponsorship forms that they will bring home and we will look into bringing in different dance instructors throughout the day to coach the children who will be dancing all day long. We plan to do a rota so that there will be at least one person dancing throughout the day at all times.
We have also planned to take part in a pupils vs teachers badminton match at some point throughout the week.
This is only some of the plans that we have made for this years active schools week. There are plenty of plans yet to be made.
