Last week, in our weekly Redlands House Care Home we got to help create a huge collage of work from the pieces created at their craft event a few weeks ago. The children loved working together with the residents to create this huge piece of artwork.

🍂Happy half term holidays!🍂 And just like that, we've reached the end of another busy and brilliant half term! 🌟 As we head into the October half term break, we want to take a moment to say a huge WELL DONE to all our wonderful children.

🌊 Year 4's Adventure at Whitlingham Lake! 🛶 Earlier this term, Year 4 finally got to enjoy their rearranged trip to Whitlingham Lake, and what a fantastic day it was! The children took part in a range of outdoor and adventurous activities, including wall climbing, raft building, canoeing and kayaking. There were plenty of opportunities to try something new, challenge themselves and step outside their comfort zones. You can read more about the day and see more photos on our website: https://www.wensumtrust.org.uk/firsidejunior/news-and-events/firside-news/year-4-whitlingham-trip There were lots of smiles, teamwork and adventure throughout the day, along with a few children who ended up taking an unexpected dip in the water! 💦 A brilliant day full of fun, resilience and memorable experiences. Well done, Year 4, for embracing every challenge!

🥊 Kickboxing Fun with SESMA! 🥊 Last week, our Year 3, 4 and 5 children had a fantastic time taking part in kickboxing taster sessions with Master Wayne from SESMA! 💥The children loved having the opportunity to try something new, learn some kickboxing skills and get a taste of what's to come. 🥋 These sessions were the perfect warm-up for our new kickboxing club starting after half term! We can't wait to see our children continue to build their confidence, fitness and skills. 🌟 A huge thank you to Master Wayne and @SESMA Martial Arts for delivering such fun and engaging sessions! #DREAM
