Wow, what a first week back! ✨

And what an exciting term we have ahead – it's Christmas! (I know, I know… perhaps still a little early! 🎄)

We've already stepped into the magical world of Narnia in Story Kitchen, creating our very own gingerbread wardrobes, while The Nutcracker has been inspiring our Story Stars and Story Stage classes as we start preparing for performances later in the term.

We've been playing X Factor-style games to choose our Christmas performance songs (Jingle Bells and Ariana Grande both got the golden buzzer! ⭐), deciding on articles for our school newspaper, practising our Mindful Movements poses and, of course, enjoying plenty of Wiggle & Sing with our preschoolers.

We were also delighted to welcome our newest team member, Bea, and her ukulele!

A lovely first week full of stories, creativity, music, movement and a little sprinkling of Christmas magic. ❤️

Mindful Movements 🧘🏼‍♀️

Looking for something a little different for your child's after-school activity?

Our Mindful Movement classes combine storytelling, stretching, movement and playful physical challenges to help children develop strength, balance, coordination and body awareness.

We warm up our bodies, stretch, try different poses and balances, and bring stories to life through movement. Children might find their tree pose, balance like a flamingo or stretch like a butterfly!

Along the way, we build:

· Core strength and stability

· Balance, coordination and flexibility

· Strength, posture and body awareness

And because movement isn't always about going faster, we also introduce little moments to slow down and be present - perhaps moving a pom-pom with our toes or practising breathing with our breathing balls.

It's an opportunity to get away from screens, get active, try something different and have fun, while learning some lovely skills along the way.

We're already bringing Mindful Movement to schools in the local area, including Mayfield, Frant and Crowborough, with more to come… watch this space!

Interested in bringing Mindful Movement to your school? We'd love to hear from you!

Calling all Wadhurst Primary School parents!

We have a new after-school club starting next term, and we're so excited to share a little more about it!

The details went out with Friday's club information, but here's a closer look at what the children will get up to.

Starting Wednesday 4th November, Storybook Stars will include singing songs they know and love, fun musical games and creating our very own original song - all leading up to a Christmas performance at Wadhurst Late Night Shopping! ✨

No musical experience needed, just a little imagination and a willingness to get involved.

Starting Wednesday 4th November

We’re looking for yoga enthusiasts! 🧘

Do you love yoga and enjoy working with children? We’re looking for enthusiastic people to lead our after-school Mindful Movement classes for primary school-aged children.

You don’t need to be a qualified yoga teacher or an expert! Our classes use yoga as inspiration for fun, creative sessions incorporating movement, stories and mindfulness. We’ll provide training and support, so a passion for yoga and an interest in working with children are what matter most.

The details:
• 📍 Primary schools across our local area (Wadhurst, Frant, Rotherfield, Mayfield, Crowbourough)
• 🕒 Afternoons from 3.15pm until 4.30pm, or 5.30pm at some schools
• 🌿 Training and resources provided
• ✨ A rewarding opportunity to bring movement, creativity and a little calm to children’s school days

Whether you’re an experienced yoga teacher or simply someone who loves yoga and would like to share that enthusiasm with children, we’d love to hear from you!

Interested? Get in touch at [email protected] to find out more.
