The week commencing 28th April was an action-packed celebration of physical activity, as Woodlands Meed proudly hosted the return of ‘All the Thons!’  Building on the success of last year’s Aerobathon, this year’s initiative, spearheaded by Mountain Class Teacher Yasmine, transformed the entire week into a vibrant festival of movement designed to get as many students active and engaged as possible.

The week launched in energetic style with a whole-school Aerobathon in the hall, featuring a mix of nostalgic 90s hits, chart-topping pop tracks, and a hilariously puzzling finale of “Oops Upside Your Head” — much to the amusement (and slight confusion!) of our students!

Throughout the week, a diverse and inclusive timetable of events was available for all classes, including a Swimathon, Bounceathon, yoga sessions, outdoor games, trips to the park, dance classes and more.  Each activity offered students the chance to try something new, get moving and most importantly have fun!

‘All the Thons!’: Jump Start Jonny Brings Energy and Excitement to Woodlands Meed!

Friday marked a memorable highlight at Woodlands Meed as we had the pleasure of welcoming Jump Start Jonny to our school.  He delivered dynamic, high-energy sessions for both our Primary and Key Stage 3 students, bringing joy, movement and laughter to all involved, including our enthusiastic and star-struck staff!

Jonny’s enthusiasm, positivity and exceptional rapport with our students created a truly uplifting experience. We are incredibly grateful for the time he spent with us and extend our sincere thanks for an unforgettable morning of fun and engagement.

Epic Finale: Jump Start Jonny and Marathon Hero Tom Brown Lead 'Tomathon' to Mark Mid Sussex Marathon Week!

As part of the Mid-Sussex Marathon celebrations, Jump Start Jonny then joined forces with our exceptional marathon runner, Tom Brown, to complete several laps of the field alongside our students in a lively and inspiring event dubbed the ‘Tomathon.’

The week was a vibrant celebration of movement, filled with energy, enthusiasm and a strong sense of community.  It provided an inclusive opportunity for everyone to get involved and highlighted the positive impact of physical activity on well-being.

We are immensely proud of all our students who participated — your dedication and spirit truly stood out! Well done to each and every one of you!
