On Friday 7th March, girls from years 3 to 6 took part in a special nationwide event called Let Girls Play. This initiative, organised by the Football Association (FA) and planned to coincide with International Women's day, aimed to give all girls equal access to football. It allows more girls to feel the mental and physical benefits of exercise through playing this sport. Mr Sidhar was so pleased with the turnout and equally impressed by the attitude the girls displayed supporting one another at this event.
A fabulous World Book Day was had by all at Penn Wood; books are our golden thread. We all shared a book, our oldest children read to our youngest and we made our own 'Reader Identities' because Reading for Pleasure really is at the heart of what we do.
Lee and Mike from Storyy came in today to give Year 5 and 6 an important workshop about choices. The children were reminded that actions have consequences, we are responsible for learning how to manage our emotions and talking to trusted adults is always a good idea. Lee and Mike also reiterated the message that we need to be vigilant and aware in order to avoid exploitation and harm, and we need to stay true to who we are. Thank you Storyy - we enjoyed the rapping too. Love Music, No Violence!
