Today many of James' Dance Club performed at the Quarterhouse. The event was the Wavelengths Community Dance Day, it is the second year this exciting opportunity has been held. Various different Dance Schools joined in for this event, which was a pleasure to watch. Huge thanks to James for organising and teaching our children the two dances, Colour of Love and Journey to the Past. We really appreciate all the children and parents that helped to make the occasion so great.

What a fabulous day we have had celebrating World Music Day today. We were so fortunate to be joined by Kevin Richards, the drummer from Gumboots Reggae Band, who led every class in a drumming workshop. The children did a great job drumming out the various patterns Kevin taught them and also at following a type of call and response signal letting them know when to start, break and stop. At lunchtime, Mrs Hodgkinson sang to the children in the hall whilst they ate their lunch.

Yesterday we had a chance to experience a forty minute Zumba class. It was very fast but so much fun. Everyone was listening carefully to the next instruction as you can see by the expressions on some of their faces. By the end we had some very sweaty children!

It was raining confetti in Assembly today as we all gathered together for our last PSHE assembly of the academic year. Together we celebrated our individual achievements! A few brave individuals walked our red carpet and shared their success stories with the whole school - We had proud moments such as Leap of Faith from our Residential trip, to being good friends, to wonderful art work. After this, it was time for the teachers to celebrate all of the pupils at St Eanswythe's

Chess Club members are always very vocal in their learning about chess and when it comes times to play each other, the children become very animated especially if they are using the four way chess board. Thanks Mathew for the teaching.

Football Club has been very popular this term as usual. They have been participating in some fitness drills, practising football skills and playing mini matches.

During this term, more children have been chosen to go to Glendale to read and chat with our Reading Buddies. Both children and adults enjoy the experience. Not all children have the chance to interact with such a different generation, so this is a great opportunity to mix and learn from each other. We are grateful for all the time the Buddies give up to be with us.

We joined hundreds of other schools in a high-energy workout to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week. We discovered how moving our bodies can boost our mood, build resilience and support our mental wellbeing. Both staff and children enjoyed fifteen minutes of exercises in the hall - what a great end to our school day!
