Skipping is a FABULOUS way to inspire children and adults alike to get fit through fun!
It's such a simple notion that has such beneficial results; it takes minimal equipment, is extremely flexible and most importantly, is so SO very effective in boosting fitness levels in general - for everyone!

Please see plus4schools for more information about this fantastic event coming to school soon.

Check out these guys - It's not just for girls!

Y4 Trip to YORK

Well done to all the year four girls who turned out for the school at The Elm’s hockey tournament. The girls had three hard matches against older girls and although they failed to win a game, they improved in each game and gained a lot of experience from the tournament.

The school swimming team will return to The Elms on Wednesday for a friendly gala. I’m sure all the children will give a good account of themselves and will receive a warm welcome from the hosts.

Year Four are going to York on Friday and will visit the Viking museum – The Yorvik Centre. Hopefully, this video will whet the appetite.

Quiz of the week

The Cressida Cowell series of books “How to train your dragon” follow a group of young Vikings who are in training. If you haven’t read the books, I can recommend them. The main character is called Hiccup who trains a young dragon called Toothless. Question – Who is Hiccups enemy in many of the stories?

Joke of the week

How did the Vikings communicate to each other?

By Norse code
