Relay Races

Today with Mr Oud we learnt how to run relay races. We had to go inside the hall because it started raining! We had lots of fun running, skipping and side stepping.

Armistice Day

Today the whole school met on the big field to pay our respects to the soldiers that lost their lives during World War One. We had a 2 minute silence. Miss Bland explained to us that the first minute was to remember those who died in the war and the second was to think about their families. 

We did a fantastic job staying quiet!
