Arnett Hills JMI School

Where every child is a success story

We are aware that we have not set all of the INSET days. These will decided in the first half of the summer term. Confirmed – September 1st INSET day. Dear staff and families On Friday morning March 26th the PTA will be organising an egg hunt for all children. 6 members of the PTA will come on to the site at 08:45 to set up the egg hunt. Following guided reading, the classes will be asked to come out to their assigned area where they will hunt in their class bubble for eggs to put in their individual paper bags (provided by the PTA). Children may come to school in non-school uniform. Classes that have PE on Friday will need to make sure that they can do their PE lesson in the clothes and footwear they are wearing. The PTA is asking for sponsorship for the children. Any kind donations can be made via the PTA website or in an envelope handed in to teachers, to me on the gate at drop off time, or put in the drop box by the main front door. This year, we will not be having the decorated egg competition but the egg rolling competition lives on! If your child would like to take part in their class group, please send him/her in with a hard-boiled egg. Let the games begin!! Miss Ali

The #DailyMileAtHome resources to support physical activity
 
The Daily Mile Foundation team would like to send our very best wishes to the children, staff, parents and the community connected to your school. We hope you are all safe and well.

To support the health and wellbeing of children while they are at home, we have recently launched The Daily Mile at Home. The aim is to encourage children to participate safely with their parents/carers in The Daily Mile – 15 minutes jogging or running, front door to front door. 

Every Monday, there will be three fun challenges for children to complete during the week. This week, they are being asked to do The Daily Mile at Home and:

  • check their pulse before and after The Daily Mile
  • wear blue to show support for the NHS
  • do a different route to normal
We would love to see schools getting involved with these challenges – please share them with your school community and also join in on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram with #DailyMileAtHome and show how you have all completed the challenges. We’re sure children would love to see their teachers taking part!
 
You can find more information and this week’s challenges below!
 

Updated guidance for The Daily Mile is ready to look at now, in line with current Government guidance, including social distancing and only exercising with household members.

Please share the information about The Daily Mile at Home with your school community. If you have any questions, please email team@thedailymile.co.uk
