What a great health week! We have been doing different taster sessions each day; tag rugby, golf, Gaelic football , handball and football. We made smoothies with different fruits and did some mindfulness as an early start. Sport’s day was a great success and well done to all our winners .

Book festival listening to Elizabeth Ezra.

We really enjoyed listening to Elizabeth Ezra talk about how she became a writer and she gave us good tips about how to write imaginatively.

This week we have recorded what we have been up to every day in a diary. Here are some of our diary entries:

Monday:

This morning I did crocodile Cosmic Yoga and golf. At break time I had popcorn and a peach. I liked the popcorn because it was sweet and salted. The golf was hard because I kept missing the ball! In the afternoon we played toilet tig, I picked the game. On the computer I played a game called the healthy lunchbox game, it was very fun!

Tuesday:

Today I did GoNoodle, hospital tig, terminator tig, football, yoga and the mile. I loved it! I want to do it all again!

Wednesday:

Today it was sports day and I hurt my eye on  a tennis ball. It was very stingy but I still did the races and I WON the running race! It felt amazing. Then we did the bean bag race and I came third.

Thursday:

Today we did yoga and the theme was Minecraft. We also did Springfield’s Got Talent. Me and Isabel did gymnastics, we got 12 points and the winners got 13 points. After that we made smoothies, they were yummy!

I am extremely proud of every single member of P2/3 this week; they have shown enthusiasm for all the new experiences on offer. Super to see so many confident performers in our talent show auditions too. Congratulations to EF, EH and OM who are going through to represent us in the Springfield’s Got Talent show!

Thank you for taking the time to read our blog,

Love P2/3 and Miss Prince x

After all the Sports Day activities yesterday, we took things a bit easier today!

We made smoothies this morning.  Our smoothie bar was very well stocked with lots of different kinds of fruit and fruit juices.  We made two different smoothies – we decided together what fruit we would like to put in each.  Most of us enjoyed drinking them 🙂 We definitely enjoyed mashing them all up in the blender.

We did some mindfulness breathing exercises today too, it was difficult to switch off and just think completely about our breathing but we gave it a good go.  We had some good discussion about why it is good to give your brain a rest sometimes and relax and we also thought about our breathing in different situations and how it can become quicker if we are scared or worried and how slowing our breathing down can help.

This afternoon we had some relaxing music on and we did some mindfulness colouring, it was very quiet in the classroom – the quietest it’s ever been I think!  A lovely thing to do.

What a busy week we’ve had, the children and I have really enjoyed thinking about our health and trying new things.

Another busy day, we had a football session with a coach called Jordan this morning.  We played some games to practise our dribbling and then tried some shooting to score goals!

This afternoon we did some yoga, we all worked really hard and we controlled and moved our bodies very well.  Holding the positions isn’t easy and we had to use our muscles to try to balance.

We also did our daily mile this afternoon, the sun was shining and we were very fast.  We are all looking forward to Sports Day tomorrow.

Hello, I’m going to write a short blog every day this week as there are so many activities going on for Health Week.

We began the morning learning the Haka.  This was not what I had planned, I had intended to so some relaxation and mindfulness but K suggested we try the Haka and I really liked that idea.  We loved making ourselves scary and pulling funny faces.  We’ll keep practising throughout the week.

We had a golf session from The Stephen Gallagher Foundation this morning.  We learned how to hold a club properly and practised swinging the club to hit the ball.  It was really good fun.

This afternoon we did some dancing and relaxation in the classroom and went outside for ‘Walk a Mile.’  I joined in with everything so there are not many photos!
