Let's talk about ...sleep

 The school nurse visited today to talk to us about the importance of sleep.









We watched Roman Kemp's sleep experiment to  investigate what happened when he didn’t sleep for 36 hours. We were surprised about the dramatic effects of missing just one nights sleep.

Sleep is very important: 

  • To help your body repair 
  • Fight off infection
  • Helps you learn
  • Keeps you healthy
  • Helps you control your emotions 

WOW! Sleep really is important! 

We though about what makes us have good sleep and the importance of  having a good bedtime routine to wind down.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

We made ‘fortune tellers’ with facts we have learned about sleep.







With our expert knowledge , hopefully we will sleep well tonight!

Enjoying a welcome snack break, we listened and watched out for curlews, skylarks, blackbirds, buzzards and crickets.  We spotted many wild flowers too.

Adventurous activity 1: Let's try abseiling

For our first activity, we headed back towards Taddington and the Monsal Trail at Millers Dale - familiar territory for us. We exchanged tales of walking, cycling and pony rides down the trail.  None of us have abseiled before, so we're not quite sure what to expect. We listened carefully before getting our harnesses on.  The instructor checked we were all safely buckled up and ready to go. Hmm...some slightly worried looks.  Here we go. Who's brave enough to go first? The bridge over the River Wye is 80 feet high and the first challenge is to climb over the railings.  We did it!  Now we can relax.
