On Tuesday 25th March, former British gymnast and Commonwealth medallist, Steve Frew attended school to lead a fitness circuit and assembly for the children.
Steve told the story of his career and how he had failed several times before winning Gold at the 202 Commonwealth games in Manchester. He left the children with few important messages: Never give up and Believe in yourself. The children were able to link his message to agent resilient and agent confident.
Steve also impressed the children with a handstand on the benches. But the best round applause was saved for an acrobatic superman dive off a small springboard over three children and Mr Emmett before landing with tucked forward roll.
The children and staff loved the morning and were inspired by Steve’s attitude and story.
We are thrilled to be able to share some more information about our upcoming Great Athletes event. We are excited to announce that the athlete who will be visiting us will be Steve Frew!
On the event day, all pupils will take part in a sponsored fitness circuit run by Steve, a terrific way to get all children excited about sport and realise that getting moving is really fun! Steve will then share his incredible sporting journey, a story of resilience and determination in a fun and interactive assembly. There will also be an opportunity to ask any burning questions in a Q&A session with their inspiring role-model at the end!
Fundraising for the event has begun now that the children have brought home a sponsorship form. The money raised for the event will help us to purchase new sports equipment and improve levels of physical activity in our school!
We are trying hard to encourage healthy eating including eating vegetables and fruit at lunchtime. It is quite hard work!
However, it is very important to establish healthy eating habits from a very young age.
You could help by downloading the Food Scanner app.
The NHS Food Scanner app brings food labels to life and helps families make healthier choices.
Simply scan the barcode to see how much sugar, saturated fat and salt is in your food and drink then choose one of the healthier swap suggestions. The app is part of a healthy eating campaign and
the ‘scan, swipe, swap’ take-home pack has plenty of resources to help encourage children to build healthier habits for life.

We also need your help teaching children to cut their food with a knife and fork please.
READING CHALLENGE TERM
Spring is our reading challenge term.
For the children, the challenge is on…. How many books can they read this term? How many authors can they try? Can they read equal amounts of non-fiction to fiction?
We are encouraging our children and their families to stretch themselves with a reading challenge over this Spring Term.
The aim is for every child to read daily, from a range of sources: books, newspapers, comics, adverts, magazines, myON, Epic! the internet etc.
Children in Y1-6 must keep a record of their reading. Children in Y2-6 can quiz on Accelerated Reader to develop their comprehension and improve their reading age. Teachers will be looking for children to reward by putting their name
forward for a limited edition Wormley Reader Bear and other prizes.
Don’t forget to record reading together in the children’s reading records as these are vital as evidence in assessing children’s reading to see if they read widely and with commitment to a book
.
Herts Sport & Physical Activity Partnership – Digital Girls Football Partnership have awarded Wormley Primary a trophy for delivering equal access for girls’ football both within the curriculum and extra-curricular in 2024.
The #LetGirlsPlay Biggest Ever Football Day will be on Friday 6th March and all schools are encouraged to take part in some form of girl’s football on this date.
England Women continue to inspire a nation after being crowned European Champions in 2022. They ensure that all girls can dream of one day being a Lioness by having the opportunity to play at school!
