  • Level 1 Bikeability

    Published 13/10/23

    On Friday 13th October, thirty three children from Year 4 took part in the Level 1 Bikeability Training.
    The training helped the children to control their bike in an off-road environment and develop
    balance and agility before they move on to developing on-road skills at Level 2 in Year 5/6.
    During Level 1 Bikeability training, the children worked towards the following outcomes:
    • Fit your own helmet.
    • Carry out a simple bike check.
    • Get on your bike, start cycling, then stop and get off.
    • Ride your bike using the gears.
    • Make your bike go where you want it to, including moving around objects safely.
    • Control the bike with one hand.
    • Stop quickly if you need to.
    • Look all around you when you’re riding, including behind, without wobbling.
    All the children worked really hard and the Bikeability instructors said that they were a credit to AJS.
    Well done to those that took part.

  • Sport Ambassador Training

    Published 06/10/23

    On Friday 6 th October seven Sports Ambassadors, Harry R, Jaiden W, Jessica H, Ollie B, Mia J, Megan
    F and Lily B-S attended a training session hosted by Park Lane Primary School. The session started
    with an ice breaker task which involved the children finding out something about a partner from
    another school. The children then thought about what their role as a Sports Ambassador should look
    like and what jobs they might take on back at school. They also talked about taking on the role of
    playground leader and how it could be set up within their school setting. After a short break the
    children then took part in a practical session learning and teaching the rest of the group a
    playground game of their choice. The morning finished with the children eating their lunch together.
    The ideas they have come up with will now be developed in school.

    We have had a fantastic time on our first Early Years trip to church farm. We explored the sandpit and saw a range of adorable farm animals and their babies. Then we all went on an exciting tractor ride learning about the different animals and their environments and took part in a quiz. Finally, we had a little play exploring their exciting play areas before heading home. We all had a fabulous day in the sunshine and are all feeling very tired! Thank you for your continued support in making this trip possible

  • Year 2 - Woburn Safari Park

    Year 2 trip to Woburn Safari Park
    Just before the Easter holidays, Year 2 went on a fantastic trip to Woburn Safari park! When we arrived at the park, we travelled on the road safari, where we got to see lots of different animals. We even saw some brown bears climbing trees and swinging in a hammock! One of our favourite parts was watching the monkeys climbing on the coaches! During our visit, we had an interactive lesson with one of the zoo keepers at Woburn. She talked to us about animal adaptions and helped us to add to our learning from our Science and Geography topics. After lunch we got to explore the foot safari, where we saw lots of other interesting animals including wallabies, penguins, meerkats and snakes! A big thank you to the parent helpers who came along for the day, everyone had a brilliant time!
