Year 2 enjoyed their first library van visit of the new school year. They enjoyed listening to a story read by the librarian before choosing a book each to take back to class. They are all looking forward to enjoying these in class over the coming weeks.

Yoga Zen Den
Year One enjoyed our very own yoga zen den in our PE lesson this week. We learnt lots of new yoga pose stretches and breathing exercises. We also practised some brain break activities to help us to relax and be mindful. 

Reception got the chance to visit the library bus this week and choose and share some books together, as well as choosing some books for us to read in class. They also got to have a story time session. 
 

In Reception we celebrated Bonfire night by learning about how to be safe around fireworks and sparklers. We then had our own sparkler using a carrot as a handle and then joined Nursery to watch our own firework. We finished the day with a hot chocolate and a biscuit.

Year 6 enjoyed a visit to their local library, Egremont Library, this afternoon. They are learning how to take responsibility for returning a book before withdrawing another. Tracey, the librarian, was very impressed with how many children returned their book.
