Pre-School-P.E-Fundamental Skills
In P.E. this week, we’ve been practicing our fundamental movement skills! The children worked on moving safely around the hall in different ways, using control, and coming to a neat, balanced stop on their feet. They did a fantastic job following instructions and had a brilliant time!
Reception - PE - Moving around space safely
Reception have had so much fun starting their PE lessons in the hall. Today we were learning how to move around the space safely, making sure we didn't bump into anyone else or any objects around the room. The children finished with a Pirate game listening carefully to instructions to walk the plank, scrub the deck and say 'Aye aye Captain'.
Year 1 PE - Developing Talking, Listening and Sharing Skills
Year 1 have been working hard in PE using our Get Set 4 PE curriculum. This week, the children focused on team-building activities designed to develop their talking, listening, and sharing skills. From guiding partners through challenges to working together in small groups, they showed fantastic communication and teamwork throughout the hall. Brilliant effort from everyone involved. #Year1 #GetSet4PE #Teamwork #PhysicalEducation #CommunicationSkills #PrimaryPE

Year 5 had a great PE lesson today. We have been practicing dribbling the ball and passing correctly. We added some extra challenge by incorporating their skills into an invasion game. The children really embraced the challenge and demonstrated some amazing skills.
Year 6 - Orienteering Competition
Could you navigate your way to victory using nothing but a map and your determination? On Tuesday, a group of six fantastic Year 6 children did just that, heading over to St Bede's High School to represent us at this year’s orienteering competition. Putting their brilliant map-reading skills to the test, they navigated the school grounds to track down markers and retrieve key information like numbers and countries. Each of them put in 100% effort, showing incredible determination and completing the courses with huge smiles on their faces—check out our wonderful silver medals!
Year 5 PE - Athletics: Shot Put
Year 5 Channel Their Inner Olympians in Athletics! This week, Year 5 took to the school playground for a fantastic Athletics session, turning their focus to the power and technique of the shot put. The children worked hard on mastering their throwing stance, learning how to safely "push" the shot put from their shoulder rather than throwing it like a ball. It was wonderful to see their determination as they focused on their aiming points and pushed for maximum distance. The class did incredibly well, showing fantastic technique and sportsmanship throughout the lesson. Watch out, Team GB—we might just have some future Olympic champions in our midst!
Year 5 PE
In our PE lessons, we have been learning and practising our cricket skills. During one of our cricket lessons, we learned a new game. Everyone in Year 5 became very competitive and had lots of fun playing it.
Reception- Continuous Provision- Web of Work
We have had a very busy week in Reception class. Our story this week has been all about spiders and the children have been so creative with their work. Accessing all areas of the classroom and outdoors. Making spider webs on the windows using gross motor movements with the print brushes and water. Learning how to draw a spider with step by step instructions and watch it come together. The children have used the play dough to make a spider come to life with pipe cleaner legs and googly eyes. Of course a spider needs a web and that's when our imagination took over designing a pattern web on paper with paint and sequins.
Year 2 PE: Writing Yoga Stories
Year 2 have been using this half-term's yoga learning to create their own yoga flow in the form of yoga stories. Using previously learnt yoga poses, the children created story maps to sequence their flow. Some of the yoga stories included "hungry lions", "seals trapped on boats" and "very calm butterflies". Miss Mulligan was incredibly impressed with the creativity and leadership skills Year 2 showed during this lesson!
Year 5 - PE - Badminton
Game, Set, Match! Our Year 5 athletes brought the heat to the court today for our final Get Set 4 PE badminton session! It was the perfect end to the unit as the pupils combined their footwork, grip, and tactical thinking into some high-energy competitive matches. We were so impressed by: Perseverance: Keeping those rallies going even when the pressure was on! Precision: Some truly fantastic serving to start the points strong. Sportsmanship: Cheering on teammates and officiating with fairness. Seeing all those skills click into place during match play was the highlight of the term. Way to go, Year 5!
