Healthy Eating Week 2018

From Monday the 11^th of June to Friday the 15^th of June it was Healthy Eating week.

As the chosen ambassadors, we were set to create a PowerPoint. We made it on our own, only referring for help if we really needed it.

The group presented it for an assembly on the 11^th (Monday); on Wednesday (13^th of June) we had some ideas of fruit and vegetables we wanted the school to try, this included: mango, kiwi, apricots, radishes, papaya and sugar snap peas.

Ms Clements brought in the fruit and veg; Mia brought in some low fat humus and yogurt.

The children really enjoyed tasting the new foods and hopefully this will inspire them to eat more healthily at home and out of school. 

This week 37 KS2 children went to Tabor High School to participate in district sports. They were against 5 other schools from the Braintree area and came 4th overall. As a team they showed great sportsmanship and determination in every event!

We had 5 children who came first in their events which were shot put, chest push, long jump and 600m.

Well done everyone!

On Monday, 9 year 6 children went to Notley High School and participated in a rounder’s tournament. They managed to win four games in a row and get to the final! Unfortunately, they came second overall but were still delighted. They showed great team spirit and determination throughout the competition well done!

Last week, Year 1 and 2 participated in a tennis festival in school. They enjoyed lots of different activities working on their hand eye coordination, footwork and speed.

A special thanks to Willow class who helped run the event and showed great leadership qualities!

Year 6 had a brilliant day at the food and farming day at Writtle College, Chelmsford yesterday (6th June). They were able to taste different foods including venison and sweet peppers; find out where some of their food comes from; taste some edible flowers and herbs; interact with different animals including alpacas and discover which machines the farmers now use to help them with harvesting their crops.
