Sledging at SnoZone!

The Reception and Year 1 children had a fantastic time sledging at the SnoZone in Milton Keynes. We had to clamber up the thick snow but all loved whizzing down the slope!

Talk by Debby – Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition

We were privileged to have had a visit by Debby, whose relative was one of the members of the Ross Sea Party. She spoke to us all about Shackleton’s plan to cross Antarctica, the two different parties of men and the jobs they had.

Debby also brought in some papers and artefacts which have been in her family since Shackleton’s expedition.

It was a fascinating talk and really brought our learning to life!

PE at the University of Bedfordshire

Children in years 2, 3, 4 and 5 were invited by the University of Bedfordshire to attend a session of PE lessons in their state of the art gym. We had a great time; many thanks to the University for the fantastic opportunity!

Visit from Ian Rose – Paralympian

Cotton End Primary were honoured to host a visit from Ian Rose – a Judo World Champion and Paralympian.

Ian spoke to the children in an entertaining way about being true to yourself, being the best you can be and making sure you treat yourself and others well. He was very inspiring and made us all reflect on the types of people we want to be.

The highlight had to be, though, when Ian passed around his two Paralympic medals – a Bronze from Atlanta and a Silver from Athens. It just goes to show what can be achieved with dedication and hard work!
