Pre-Prep’s Apple Saturday
Pre-Prep kicked off Saturday mornings withApple Saturdayas part of this term’s Saturday theme of ‘Nature’. The children found out that there are over 2,500 different types of apples. Using fruit supplied from Mrs Clarke’s garden the children tasted apples, made delicious apple crumble, printed with apples and – best of all – tried apple bobbing. There were some very wet, but very giggly children who found out that (especially with missing teeth!) apple bobbing is quite hard!
Upper School are Standing Tall
Standing Tall is an organisation which aims to teach students about the importance of first impressions, self-esteem, body language and confident posture. Upper School pupils had a great day when the Standing Tall team came to Cundall. There was loud music, a cat walk format and they all learned how to walk tall, how to express a happy and confident persona and how to create a great first impression in an interview or when meeting new people.
Cundall’s Book Worms
This week, Form 2 have been the first of our Junior Forms to visit The White Rose Bookshop in Thirsk in order to discover and select new books for their classrooms. They enjoyed a story time which introduced some new popular reads before hunting out a selection for us to bring back to school for their Form rooms. Well done to the children for choosing so enthusiastically and also especially for respecting and supporting one another in their choices of favourites. Thank you to Mrs Sue Lake for welcoming us so warmly, guiding the children with their choices and generally creating an extremely happy and industrious morning for us all. Children in Forms 1, 3 and 4 can look forward to enjoying their visits in the next few weeks of term.
