This week, Year 5 had a special visit from the Arsenal Hub to teach them all about the History of Women in Sport, as this month is Women’s History Month. It is imperative that our pupils see strong women in sport and the girls in our class know that sport is for everyone. Perhaps it even inspired some of our pupils to pursue a career in football. The class looked at historical women football players as well as the current football team for Arsenal. The class were then asked to think of a woman in their life and how they inspired them and created a fact file on them. This was an inspirational talk that the children took a great deal from.
Also, this week many of our Year 5 took part in our Change for Change initiative. It was amazing to see our classes form their own team, working well together and ultimately raising a lot of money for their chosen charities. The pupils took on a look of work and responsibility for this project and we are all extremely proud of them!
