Following the excitement of the London Marathon, the children were inspired to organise their own “week of races,” alongside learning about healthy eating and the importance of good oral hygiene.
We were delighted to welcome a special guest who had taken part in the marathon. She kindly read a story to the children, shared her experience of determination and triumph, and even showed them her medal, which was a real highlight!
To build on this, we explored the story of *The Hare and the Tortoise*. Our Early Years teacher, Carmel, also brought in her tortoises, Arlo and Squirtle, who took part in a very special tortoise race. The children designed and created their own racetrack and even prepared a little sprinkle of pepper to gently encourage the tortoises along!
It has been a wonderful week full of inspiration, creativity, and fun learning experiences.
