Year 2 had a really good go at learning to skip with skipping ropes. I was so proud of everyone for trying very hard, even when they found it tricky.
KS2 Dinner time fun
This week we fancied mixing it up a bit on the yard, so we set our sports leaders a challenge to set up some different activities. The children have enjoyed playing dodgeball, having a mini sports day and playing with the equipment on the yard.
Year 5- P.E- Bowling skills
During P.E. the Year 5's demonstrated their skills in both overarm and underarm bowling techniques. The children showcased their abilities to deliver the ball with precision and accuracy using both these bowling styles.
