Well what an exciting assembly watching Choc from the GB Extreme team perform his tricks. Choc  talked to the children about Parkour and how he and his team need to practice for long periods of time to ensure they don’t get hurt. They also go around and compete against other countries as well. The children were so excited to take part in the workshops and have a go at the four different activities. Even Mrs Gregory and Miss Amor had a go!  To end the day off, the children discussed the impact Parkour could have on their physical and emotional well-being. Thank you Miss Crumpling for organising this great day.

The children then identified different miracles they would love to happen, some chose to stop wars, others chose to help others and one child wanted to be able to eat chocolate with milk in, 

 Today, the children came to school dressed in green and yellow to show their support for the Air Ambulance Charity. This charity has been running since 2007, they have a team of doctors, dispatchers, paramedics and pilots. It is vital that they are able to respond quickly to both Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, thus, they are moving from their base in Thruxton to Southampton Airport so they are able to respond within ten minutes to the Isle of Wight.  The children attended an assembly with two of the volunteers and a lady who worked for the charity. Did you know that it costs £3500.00 every time they are called out to an incident?  They are called out at least seven times a day! It was lovely to see lots of the children bringing in a pound to donate to the charity.  If you would like to support this charity further then please look at their website.  I
