Thursday 4 December 2025 Tinsel, Tunes and Two Wheels I was sad to miss Fitness Thursday today because from the festive photos and the music blaring across the playground as I left it was clear the children were having a brilliant time. Scooters were decorated with Christmas lights, tinsel and all sorts of cheerful trimmings as the children raced to complete as many laps of the playground as they could. The atmosphere was full of energy and excitement with every lap cheered on by friends and teachers.A huge thank you to our Bronze Ambassadors who planned the course with care and made sure everything was ready to go. Thank you as well to Matt for overseeing Fitness Thursday and to Mr Frampton for capturing the magic with his camera. It looked like a wonderful morning of festive fitness and a perfect way to get everyone moving.
