As part of our Wellbeing Week all classes took part in an energetic Dancercise session led by Miss McLoughlin.
Family members were invited to join us and we were thrilled to see so many taking part and having fun.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this event such fun – special thanks to Miss McLoughlin who must be exhausted after the last two days of high octane dancing!
Our school building was silent and empty on Wednesday as pupils and staff in Holy Name School enjoyed another successful Outdoor Classroom Day.
They enjoyed activities including playground games from around the world, den building, bug hunting, messy play, water slides, litter and recycling activities and marine conservation.
The pupils worked in mixed age groups and, as always it was a pleasure to see them supporting and helping another whilst having fun and learning.
Thank you to everyone who was able to join us on our mile walk this afternoon. It was lovely to see so many family members supporting the pupils on the beautiful sunny day.
As you know your names have now been entered into our time credits raffle – there are lots of great prizes up for grabs!
A great start to our Wellbeing Week.
Tomorrow there are mindfulness sessions in all classes, all family members are welcome to join us, just pop in. Times for each class have been shared on the classes individual Dojo pages.
Mrs Benbow worked with us on Friday and we learnt some new songs.
In the afternoon we gathered together to perform them.

We watched them search for hidden objects on our playground.

As a school we are always aiming to raise the awareness of the importance of reading.
Reading regularly is crucial both to help children improve their literacy standards and to give them the skills to be able to engage in reading for pleasure.
We have decided to run a sponsored read to encourage children to read more and hopefully raise some funds to put towards purchasing books for the children to use in school.
The Holy Name School Sponsored Read 2018 sponsorship form which will go home with your child today can be used to choose a target of how many books your child is going to challenge themselves to read during a 3 week period from Mon 30th April until Fri 25th May.
Once they have decided upon their target they can see if friends and family are willing to sponsor them!
Could all sponsorship forms (including any money raised) please be handed into the office by Wednesday 6th June.
Thank you for your support!
