I’m excited to let you know that I’ve been fortunate enough to secure a ballot place in next year’s London Marathon to be held on the 21st of April 2024.
As a result, I am delighted to inform you that I am using this fantastic opportunity to raise money for the PTFA at the school. All money raised will provide vital resources and enrichment experiences for our amazing pupils that the school might not otherwise be able to afford.
With the support of the school and the PTFA, I am planning to arrange several events from now until the race that will involve all the children in my training, help highlight the fun of exercise and also the benefit of bringing a growth mindset into class every day. The picture attached is from when I last ran the marathon in 2015, and you can read my story here.
**This refers to the potential training miles involved in preparing for the event but may be subject to a competition, so not going to be giving too much away!Mrs Leach
The School Council would like to raise money to buy some new football nets. They have been working alongside Hannah from Phunky Foods as their role as Phunky Food Ambassadors. They have already produced a short video to tell the Phunky Food what they would like to do to promote healthy living within school.
We are all looking forward to Sports Week, week beginning 19th June. Please remember to have a full PE kit and a water bottle in school. During this week the children will be able to join in with a range of exciting activities including: a climbing wall, rugby inflatable and dance workshops.
We’re taking part in Sustrans Big Pedal event 2023, the UK’s largest inter-school cycling, walking, wheeling and scooting challenge. The challenge runs from 20th to 31st March 2023, it’s free and we would love everyone to be involved. We would like to encourage your child(ren) to take active journeys to school on as many days as possible during the event, and join them on their way. You can scooter, cycle or walk. If you have to travel by car because of where you live, you could always park a short distance away from school to still take part. Or your child can walk several laps of the playground as they enter the school grounds. Walk to School Week is a great way to get children active, which is important for physical health and mental wellbeing. Active school runs also help to reduce congestion and air pollution outside the school gate. THANK YOU
