Today, Burnley F.C. sent young recruit ‘Ashley’ to work with our Year 3s in a new programme called GURP (Give Up Loving Pop) which focuses on healthy and unhealthy drinking habits as well as doing fun physical activity through key skills within interactive games.
The programme lasts 6 weeks and the children have already been set a challenge to NOT drink or at least reduce the quantity of sugary drinks they consume on a normal day to day basis. Each week they will spend 30 minutes in class learning in more detail about healthy habits and then 30 minutes of outside time completing an array of fun and active games.
Hi, my name is Mr Farry, I still consider myself very much part of a great team in a great school, we really do ALL pull together to ensure the children complete a fantastic and enjoyable curriculum. I am still the P.E coordinator (a veteran now that I’ve joined the over 40s club), and still completely passionate about sport and my role in sport at Park. I am still actively involved external sports (both team and individual) and consider this essentially to maintaining a healthy body and mind. The children will tell you I’m still the jovial and humorous person I was when I joined the school, buy I’m simply four/five years older and ‘hopefully’ a little wiser, albeit with a few stray greys! My classroom is a busy place, with high expectations whilst still maintaining a nurturing environment, especially with the kind and generous Mrs Lucas by my side. The children, thus, continue to feel comfortable and content in their learning environment.
