• Moki step watches have launched!

  Tue 28 Feb 2023

   

  Moki is the first physical activity tracker designed for schools. Moki Bands count pupil steps and use contactless technology to transmit the data to the Moki app with a simple tap. 

   

  Moki inspires schools to move more by providing an accurate picture of their physical activity. Using a simple wristband that records a student’s steps and active minutes, Moki offers educators a unique new way to engage children in their health and wellbeing learning.

   

  Last week we launched the Moki bands at Sunny Bank and the children have instantly engaged with these. Our total steps for the first week was 3,647,713 steps!

   

  Individual, Class, Year or whole school activity reports are generated in real-time.This new insight can then be used to evaluate progress on an individual, class or year group basis, or shared with staff, parents and even OFSTED.

   

  Schools that already use Moki all say that it has had a huge impact on the children’s willingness to be more active, not just in physical education and sports. What’s more Moki provides schools with a way to share it with staff and parents in a way that simply wasn’t possible before.

  

• Meals price increase

  Tue 28 Feb 2023

   

  Please be advised that from Monday 17th April 2023 there will be a price increase to the cost of the main school meals. The current price is £2.30 for a main meal and a dessert. This will now increase to £2.45 per meal.

   

  The school has not implemented a price rise for a few years now, but due to the continued pressure on the cost of wholesale food we unfortunately cannot avoid the increase any longer.

   

  It should be noted that our school meals are excellent value for money and are made with fresh ingredients to provide a healthy balanced diet. The children have a choice of a main meal, vegetarian meal or a jacket potato. There is always fresh salad available.

   

  We ask for your understanding with these price increases and fully appreciate that times are tough.

   

  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

• Forest School News

  Mon 27 Feb 2023

   

  (EYFS) Acorns class embarked on some exploration of colour and focused on what we love most about nature at Forest school!

  As February is the month of Valentines, the children enjoyed creating heart shaped tree bark rubbings on our tree trunk art easels and looked closely at trees, pine cones, leaves, and anything else they love about nature!

  They also enjoyed listening to me read ABC into the woods whilst sitting comfortably in our basecamp circle of logs.

   

  Lots of exploring and engagement with the activities on offer!
