VE Day Party

Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 completed their topic on World War 2 with a VE Day Party! They dressed in 1940s outfits for the occasion and helped to prepare food and decorations for the event, before enjoying eating and dancing at the party, set out like a street party, but in the classrooms at this time of year...

Barn Owls and Tawny Owls big sleepover!

On Friday 8th February, all the way through until Saturday 9th February, Barn Owl and Tawny Owl children had a giant sleepover, at school!

Having left our bags in Rabbits Class, we wrapped up warm and took our torches outside, to play hide and seek, sardines and a lighthouse game in the dark. Playing games in the dark is one of our 100 memorable events...

When we came in, we unpacked our things and made our beds ready for bedtime later, before settling down with our friends to play games on our beds. 

Then time for hot chocolates (with all the trimmings) and a bedtime story before cleaning teeth and going to bed...

Before we knew it, it was the next morning! Everybody was packed up before bacon or jam butties for breakfast. Then it was time for more fun with our friends...

To get ready to go home, we carried all our kit back to Rabbits Class and, whilst waiting for our parents, did some yoga!

Everybody enjoyed our sleepover- children and staff...Everybody was happy and positive and resilient- all superstars at a big school sleepover...

Sports Day: Monday June 11th

Hi Karate! 20th July 2017

Today after making kites we tried out karate to see whether we liked it. 

After a good warm up...

...we started learning karate. First, the attack, then the head and stomach block and, finally, the kicking technique. 

For karate, speed is more important than power and it is very important to make sure you have curled fists rather than closed fists so that you don't hurt your hands when you punch. Posture is also key, for example, if your posture is not correct when you kick you could fall backwards and hurt the back of your head.

Not something to try at school or outside karate lessons of course because of the risks of hurting yourself or someone else!

The Tiger Karate group are running lessons at Diss High School on Wednesdays and also in Thetford. The first month's lessons are free if you'd like to go along and try it out.
