What an amazing start to our sporting calendar! These 10 Year 3 and 4 boys took part in a Football competition at Ringwood School on Thursday 26th September. They competed against 5 other teams from the local area and came out on top winning first place! Arriving back at school they were all greeted by proud teachers who applauded their efforts.
Proudly, the boys have been wearing their medals and commenting on how much fun they had. Well done boys your hard work and effort paid off!
This year we have started with an exciting bang by being involved with lots of sporting events. On Wednesday 25th September, these children were selected to represent Fordingbridge Junior School in an Inclusive Can Do Festival.
This took place at Testwood Sports College in Totton and the children represented us really well by being polite and great sportsman.
As you can see from the smiles on their faces the enjoyed their day and gave 100% effort throwing themselves into all the activities.
Natalie, 4AG- “ I had so much fun and I really enjoyed the activities. I also saw a friend who had a different type of cerebral palsy and it was nice that we could all participate together”
Welcome to our new Cyber Ambassadors!
We have recently recruited a cyber ambassador from each class who will be our experts in e-safety.
Yesterday we welcomed Hampshire Constabulary into FJS and had a morning of training. We are looking forward to sharing why toothpaste and tieing ourselves in knots is linked to e-safety with the whole school very soon – watch this space!
Wow! What an inspirational and motivating visit we were treated to. Aaron plays wheelchair rugby for team GB and represented GB in London 2012, as well as competing in the London marathons and more recently being the first disabled British person who has climbed Kilimanjaro without assistance. He is now training for Tokyo 2020.
As well as telling us all about his adventures the key messages of never giving up on a goal and having a growth mindset were inspirational.
Aaron gave us his 4 steps to succes:
– Set a goal
– Get organised
– Ask for help
– Work hard
We know many of the children came home to share Aarons story and we know his messages will come through in the childrens own lives.
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to our harvest collection – our best yet! The food was donated to the Fordingbridge Food Bank; we collected enough food to feed 16 families for 3 days. What a great community achievement!
What would you like to trade along the Silk Road? Linking to our learning unit, ‘The Golden Age of Islam’ Year 6 went for a journey along the Silk Road. We each represented a country and a item and went trading! We were surprised to learn of the high value of nutmeg and perfume and wished we had less ivory and coral! What a fun learning experience and great bartering skills!
