A group of Year 6 children have been taking part in a Business Enterprise Project, led by Mrs Dunbar. Ciara, Tom, Lucas, Lucy and Daisy began the day by having a “Working Breakfast”  before   pitching their idea to a group of local Dragons.  Their project “Customtopia”  is to sell customised items.  They hope to win a trip to London.  Well done and good luck.

Everton defender Leighton Baines gave the children a hand in learning more about keeping fit and healthy.

The England left-back visited our school, to support a special healthy-lifestyle class and help pupils to understand the importance of eating nutritious food.

Baines talked to the children in Year 5 as they were planning a healthy dinner and told them about his favourite meals and a typical diet for a professional footballer

Leighton Baines also promoted this message by taking part in a coaching session with Year 5 pupils to demonstrate how football, and sport in general, is a fun way to keep active and fit.

“As professional footballers, we have a whole team of people making sure we eat and train in the correct way to make sure we stay at the top of our game,” Baines said. “It’s important children understand from a young age that they need to look after themselves by eating healthily and initiatives like this show that keeping fit can be fun, too.
