Reception: Muddy Monday
Reception class really enjoyed their Muddy Monday walk to Jacks Key reservoir today. There were lots of muddy puddles to splash in which was great fun. The children had to jump over a stream which they all enjoyed and loved talking to each other along the way.
DPSSA Football League
Some super game play this evening down at the DPSSA Football League at Witton. Our first game was against Ashleigh when we unfortunately lost 7-0 . Our second game was against Holy Trinity and through pure grit and determination we can away with a draw.
Year 5/6 Sportshall Athletics Trials
Our first Sportshall Athletics trial for Years 5 and 6 took place this week. The children mainly worked on their field events such as chest push, javelin, ling jump and triple jump. They developed their techniques by working on hip thrust and swinging their arms when jumping. We finished with sprint relays and the children really encouraged each other and thoroughly enjoyed the session.
Reception PE - Climbing & Jumping
This week we have been continuing to develop our jumping skills, but also introduced climbing. We have been building our resilience and courage to take safe risks when climbing. This helps us to build our upper body strength so we can develop our stamina for writing.
Year 1 PE: Gymnastics
Yesterday, our children became Superhero Gymnasts. We discussed our favourite superheroes, such as Thor, Captain America and Spider-Man, and noticed that they use gymnastics to help people. We became superhero’s and created our own superhero gymnastics sequence. We started by travelling through flames using bunny hop, caterpillar crawl, bear crawl or frog jump. Then we had to roll under lasers using egg roll, pencil roll or rock and roll. Once we safely got through the lasers we did our superhero pose (a three-point balance) and then rolled back through the lasers. Year 1 really enjoyed this sequence, especially with our superhero action music in the background.
Key Stage 1 Multi-Skills Festival
What a super morning we have had at the Key Stage 1 Multi- Skills Festival at St Bedes. The ten children from Year 1 had to move around the stations which involved a variety of physical activities that build fundamental movement skills like running, jumping, throwing, and catching, while also developing agility, balance, and coordination. These activities incorporated games and challenges that will improve the children's ability to work with others, follow instructions, and solve problems. At the end each school was awarded medals and the children were so happy and proud. A huge thank you to our Year 6 Sports Leaders for their support and encouragement.

Year 5 - PE
The children continued developing their skills in badminton, becoming more comfortable with forehand and backhand shots. Working in pairs, one child threw the shuttlecock to the other player’s right and left side, encouraging the player to switch shots and accurately hit the shuttlecock back to their partner. Then we started building rallies, with children serving underhand and hitting the shuttlecock back and forth until it hits the ground.
Year 3 Explores Blacksnape Park
After visiting Nightingale Farm, Year 3 spent some time at Blacksnape Park. The children ran, played, and discovered different areas of the park, showing great curiosity and energy. It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to appreciate God’s creation and enjoy life to its fullest in a safe, outdoor environment.
Year 4 - PE: Gymnastics Routines
Our Year 4 budding gymnasts began their new unit recapping some of the types of travels they have learned in previous years and perfected their technique. They then chose a routine and worked with a partner to learn and perform their routine for the rest of the class.
