Physical and Mental Health - Skipping in Year 4!

-

 Year 4

This week is Children's Mental Health Week. The theme is 'Let's Connect.'



After linking this to our prior learning in PHSE and our Emotional Wellbeing unit, we spent some time focusing on our balance, co-ordination and flexibility by practising yoga.

To finish, we went outside for some fresh air and used the skipping ropes. The challenge was to skip 100 times! 




Mrs Griffiths is doing a sponsored skip in aid of Cancer Research UK - skipping 100 times every day (it is harder than she thought!). Thanks Year 4 for your encouragement and support!

Why don't you try skipping at home, or another physical activity to get your heart rate up and improve your physical and emotional wellbeing?

Happy Skipping!

Today has been another action-packed day here at Bawdsey, with the children up bright and early, full of energy and excitement for what lay ahead. After a hearty hot breakfast to fuel the morning, the first activities kicked off: canoeing and Survivor (a fantastic session of den building and outdoor skills). The children embraced the challenge, showing great teamwork and creativity as they constructed their shelters and took to the water with enthusiasm. Following a tasty lunch, the afternoon brought even more thrills with the giant swing — a definite favourite! There were plenty of cheers (and a few nervous giggles) as each child took their turn. We rounded off the day’s activities with a problem-solving session, where teamwork, communication, and thinking outside the box were the keys to success.
