We had a fantastic time at our first after-school running club this week!

In Year 4, our class saint is Saint Joseph. His feast day is celebrated on the 19th March. To celebrate this day, we all wore green and brown which are the colours associated with him. We then learned about his life and how his special day is celebrated in other countries across the world.

Year 4 fully embraced the Biggest Ever Football Session today in our matches with Year 3. Both boys and girls enjoyed a match and a penalty shootout. The children showed such brilliant team work, sportsmanship and resilience.
