Young Leaders
Some Year 5s recently had the opportunity to participate in an all-day virtual Young Leaders event. Young Leaders are those children who have the job of increasing sports participation in our school. Lockdown has taught all of us how important it is for our mental and physical health to be active! Our morning activities were quite physical. Working in the hall, we discussed what makes a good sports leader. We talked about the desirable qualities we would like to develop and then had the opportunity to rehearse how we would lead certain events and what we could do to increase participation, fitness and fun!
In the afternoon, our session was discussion based. We talked about the components of an active school, first focusing on how we could encourage children and their families to be more active on their journeys to school. We thought about our own school and the strengths and qualities we already have as well as ways we could improve. Finally, we discussed the promotion and marketing for sport. We all feel very lucky to have been able to take part in such an interesting event and it has given us lots of ideas about how to make the most of the facilities and opportunities we have here at Yardley.

Wow – what great few weeks we’ve had in Class 4! It has been amazing to have our whole class back together again. We have all worked hard during lockdown – whether we were learning at home or in school as part of the keyworker provision. Those of us in keyworker provision made the most of the opportunity to get to know the Denton Year 5s and 6s better and enjoyed making new friends. Still – it has been lovely for all of us to get back to our familiar routines and to see our whole class again.

As part of our Topic work, we have been looking at where our food comes from. We started this work during lockdown, focusing on sustainability and seasonality. It was great to come back into the classroom just in time for our practical work. We worked together to design a meal that was both seasonal and environmentally friendly. We came up with a chicken, leek and potato soup (vegetarians omitted the chicken) with an apple and berry crumble. It was fantastic to have the opportunity to prepare and cook our own meals. While some of us were experienced cooks, many of us had never peeled a potato or chopped a leek. It was great to learn some practical life skills that we will be able to use to help prepare meals with our families. ‘Cooking is my favourite thing!’ said a Year 6 girl. While a Year 5 boy exclaimed, ‘My soup was so tasty!’
