It is that time of year when we say goodbye and hello to staff and children leaving and joining All Souls’ School. Year 1 have been lucky enough to be joined by Mr T Rolison who will be their Year 2 teacher next year.
This has been an ideal opportunity for both the children and Mr Rolison to meet and spend time getting to know each other before the autumn term.
As part of their transition afternoon the children had to build spaghetti and marshmallow towers. This was a great opportunity to work together as a team. When I went into view the towers their was not a crumb of evidence to be found. The children and Mr Rolison were smiling though! Suspicious! where had the marshmallows from the towers gone?
During Friday’s PE lesson the children worked in their house teams to complete obstacle courses. They completed the course in pairs carrying a balloon, then traveling together holding ribbon.
This involved sharing, considering others and developing negotiation skills. The children enjoyed these activities and had great fun, some real team leaders shone through.
Finally well done to Oliver and Cerys our two superstars this week. They received their award from Mr Rolison for great leadership in the marshmallow tower challenge.
Seven days to go!
Thank you for your continued support.
Mrs McGovern
