Get Set for the Olympics
Children at our school are getting involved in the count down to the Olympics this summer. Higham is a member of the Get Set network and we are proud to display a special plaque outside the school entrance.
Gaynor Nash, who is the East Midlands Regional Co-Ordinator, came to talk to the school about the Get Set project. Over the next few months the children will be taking part in various activities linked to the seven Olympic and Paralympic values.
Niamh, Kyle J., Henry, Edward, Michaella, Ewan and Ellie from Class 3 have been chosen to remember these values - Inspire, Equality, Courage, Determination, Excellence, Friendship and Respect. They will help the other children in the school to think about these important values.
The whole school is also looking forward to an exciting event in April when the children will be taking part in activiities linked to the Olympics at Leicester Cathedral.
International Day
The whole school enjoyed a special International Day organised by members of the King's Lodge. They learned about different countries around the world and took part in dance sessions, sport, games and a variety of craft activities.
