Enrichment – Yoga

This week in Yoga Enrichment Club, the children enjoyed a fun and imaginative challenge! They worked together to create yoga poses inspired by different animals. Using their creativity and balance skills, the children carefully thought about how they could use their bodies to represent a range of animals through yoga.

Once a pose had been created, the rest of the group had to guess which animal was being represented. There were lots of fantastic ideas, from stretching like tall giraffes to curling up like sleepy cats! The guessing game encouraged everyone to observe carefully, think creatively and engage with one another.

The children worked carefully to prepare and add their chosen toppings, showing excellent teamwork, creativity and independence throughout the activity.
It was wonderful to see everyone so engaged and enthusiastic, and we are sure they enjoyed tasting the finished results just as much as making them!

Ukraine/UK Partnership Enrichment Group

This week, our UK-Ukraine Partnership Group has been busy preparing for an exciting online meeting with our partner school in Poltava.

To help our new friends learn more about life at St Mary’s, the children gathered photographs from around the school and wrote informative passages about what makes St Mary’s such a special place. They shared details about our classrooms, learning opportunities, routines and the uniform.

The children also reflected on why they love being part of the St Mary’s family. Their writing highlighted the kindness, friendship, support and sense of belonging that make our school such a welcoming place.

Next week, the group will share their work with the students in Poltava and will have the opportunity to learn all about their partner school in return. We are looking forward to hearing about their daily lives, learning experiences and school community.

Enrichment – Yoga

This week in Yoga Enrichment, the children enjoyed a calm and mindful session focused on relaxation, movement and creativity.

We began with a peaceful guided meditation, helping the children to settle their minds, focus on their breathing and feel relaxed and ready for the session ahead. Afterwards, we warmed up our bodies with a range of gentle stretches.

The highlight of the session was a collaborative challenge where the children worked together in small groups to create their own yoga poses. It was wonderful to see their confidence grow as they demonstrated their creations and explained how they worked together to achieve them.

The children had a fantastic time developing their mindfulness, physical wellbeing and cooperative skills while having lots of fun.

Enrichment – Radio

The past two weeks in enrichment, Radio Club has been busy developing their broadcasting skills by planning and writing scripts for their very own radio show. The children have worked collaboratively to create engaging content, thinking carefully about how to speak clearly and keep their audience interested.
Also, the radio team have also been excited to explore and practise using our new broadcasting technology. Pupils have enjoyed learning how to use professional-style headphones and microphones, building their confidence in recording and presenting. They have been practising speaking into the microphones, listening back to recordings, and learning how good communication helps create a successful radio show.
