They have been playing throw tennis and working on their key skills of controlling the ball by working on a series of skills challenges.

Year 5 have been looking at Rosa Parks and how her simple action of refusing to move seats brought about the bus boycott in 1955 which eventually lead to the end of segregation laws in America. 

The Year Five’s have been fortunate to have a ‘mindfulness’ workshop with Suzi, this afternoon. Suzi showed us techniques to help us with our inner calm, including rainbow breathing, finger breathing and some amazing Tai Chi moves (which required lots of serious concentration)! The superhero pose caused much hilarity, but taught us to stand firm and be grounded in our thoughts. It was a perfect end to our Day of Calm.
