One50 Dance


On Monday the 17th of June we had One50 dance come to our school. They did 2 dances for us then they taught 1 of the dances. I enjoyed getting taught the dance because they said "You can do the dance your style." Meaning that we have unique ways of dancing. After getting taught the dance we split off into groups to make up a dance of our own. This part was the best because we got to choose our moves for the dance, but we also got to see the dances other groups had. It was pretty funny watching some grouops dance. The One50 were vibrant and full of energy. I would love to see them again sometime soon.

Crows Visit

On Tuesday and Thursday this week we had a visit from the Crows. They came to talk to us about healthy eating and exercise. As part of the Live Right, Feel Bright program the children received a booklet to fill out. In this booklet they need to fill in about what they eat daily and also the exercise they do. It is a great opportunity for children to monitor their food intake and exercise as well as reflecting on this.
We encourage the children to have a go and keep track. The Crows will be back later in the term to see how things went.
The Bible encourages us to eat healthy in the story of the Fiery Furnace in Daniel. Jesus also says in Matthew 4:4
