Year 3 testing their balancing and climbing skills in gymnastics in Elizabeth Green Hall.
At this age, movement isn’t just fun, it is foundational.
Activities like gymnastics, climbing and balance work help children build the physical and cognitive skills that set them up for confident ...learning.
Gymnastics strengthens core muscles, improves coordination and boosts body awareness, all essential for posture, handwriting and overall confidence.
Climbing encourages problem‑solving, resilience and risk‑management in a safe environment. Children learn to plan, adapt and trust their own abilities.
Balancing develops stability, focus and spatial awareness, supporting everything from reading readiness to team sports.
Together, these activities nurture independence, resilience and a love of movement, helping children grow into capable, curious learners.

Year 4 think that tomato sauce enhances the flavour of plain chips!
They also believe that adjectives enhance the quality of a well written sentence.
So they call adjectives tomato sauce.
They donned their ketchup socks as a reminder as they were writing interesting information about ...the abhorrent Henry VIII and the immature Edward VI.
