On 18th March 2010 pupils from Year 5 visited Selby Abbey Leisure Centre as a part of their Science Unit on Healthy Living.

Working with Robin Bedford, Sports Development Officer at Selby Abbey Leisure, pupils learnt about different food types and their function, identified good and poor food choices, and that that to stay healthy we need an adequate and varied diet.

Working with James Chapman, Inclusion Officer at Selby Abbey Leisure, pupils learnt that we need exercise to stay healthy and to maintain our muscles, and that when we exercise our muscles work harder.

Working in the Fitness Suite at Selby Abbey Leisure Centre pupils had the opportunity to try a range of cardiovascular equipment.  Pupils learnt how to measure their pulse rate and relate it to their heart beat, and investigated the effect of exercise on their heart beat.

Brayton Junior School would like to thank Robin Bedford and all the staff at Selby Abbey Leisure Centre for providing our pupils with this opportunity.

On Monday 8th December the Riding Lights made its annual visit to Brayton School. They gave an excellent performance of the Nativity Story, with a favourite character…Desmond the Camel. The pupils were a superb audience and it really gave us festive cheer, as well as reminding us of the true meaning of Christmas.
