This afternoon, we had our Henbury Sports Day 2023. The children started with a wake a shake to warm up and then completed a carousel of activities including a javelin throw, an obstacle course and a space hopper race! The KS2 children then had the chance to run a relay race before the winners were announced. The winners this year were......... YELLOW TEAM. All the children then got a badge to say congratulations for taking part.

Today, Year 3 visited Lulworth Cove on their school trip. We started with a presentation about the coastline and then looked at the different rocks found in the area. We walked up to Stair Hole and did some observational drawing followed by heading down to look at the cove. After lunch, we went into the visitor centre and spent time on the beach searching for fossils. 

Today, Year 4 completed their Level 1 Bikeability. The children learnt many skills including how to use both brakes to stop, hand signals for left and right, how to give way, how to weave safely, how to emergency stop and how to complete u-turns. This was all underpinned with how to stay safe when cycling. 

Year 2 visited Durlston Country Park in Swanage on Tuesday to support their Geography and Science learning journeys. The children completed a fossil dig and also walked along the coastal path, learning about the animals that live in the coastline habitat and discovering the human impact on the area. The children were a credit to Henbury and had an awesome day!

This morning, Year 1 visited our local library in Corfe Mullen. The children met Jessica the librarian who read some stories and had set up a picture hunt around the library for the children to do. They then had some time to explore the different books, do some colouring and also play with the puppet theatre. Thank you to Jessica and the team at the library for facilitating this visit for the children. Thank you also to our parent helpers who supported us with walking to and from the library safely!
