By Mrs Schofield (Head of Years 3 and 4)

On Wednesday, Years 3 and 4 welcomed A-Life, a company specialising in holistic health and well-being education into school. Their visit made a lasting impression on our girls, offering an exciting blend of fun and education.

Through engaging activities, our girls explored aspects of health and well-being. They embarked on a culinary journey, sorting fruits and vegetables by their country of origin, and delving into the intricate world of food groups and sugar content in popular drinks. Learning didn't stop there; A-Life emphasised the importance of dental hygiene, quality sleep, and the need to limit screen time for a balanced lifestyle. The girls even got to wear a Vtech t-shirt that allowed them to see inside the stomach and view the intestines, as part of the digestive system!

In their second session, our girls took part in an energetic circuit of exercises, featuring trampettes, hurdles, boxing techniques and skipping. The laughter, teamwork and fantastic commitment by everyone was amazing to observe. The girls not only had a blast but also walked away with valuable insights into the significance of health and well-being. A-Life's visit marked a fantastic beginning to this term's exploration of Who We Are. Both Year groups are now ready to explore the different elements of well-being through inquiry and use scientific skills to explore nutrition and movement.
