Pupils from Juniors 1 and 2 were learning the basic stance and steps in their fencing club session on Wednesday lunchtime. Provider Shakespeare’s Swords had the children all kitted out, much to everyone’s excitement, and patiently encouraged them to adopt the correct position. The youngsters then learned how to step forward and step backward safely and then went on to learn the first attack move the lunge.

Señora Green and Señora Westerman were incredibly happy to welcome Junior 5 and Junior 6 children to the first Spanish Club of the term on Monday.
The children learnt how to greet others in Spanish and discovered that there are 21 countries in the world where Spanish is an official language. They thoroughly enjoyed playing our ‘asesino’ game which involved someone in the role of police officer guessing which child was the criminal with lots of chanting of new language! We finished with listening to Shakira’s Spanish Waka Waka song and then said ‘Hasta luego’ and happily went to lunch thinking of Colombian dance moves and Spanish sunshine.
