Helping Simba in Commando Joe’s

18th March 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

Year 1 have had an awesome Commando Joe session today. Their missions have recently been based within the story of The Lion King. Today they had to help Simba refill the watering hole after Scar had been defeated and left Pride Rock.

The children were tasked with moving water as quickly and effectively as they could. There were some fantastic ideas how to use the resources to transport the water. Brilliant team work.

Let’s Twist Again!

13th January 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

This term Class Four will be working in dance. Every Monday for the next six weeks, Miss Skiggs will be working with the class to teach dance steps and to combine the steps in to a routine.

This week she introduced our music – Let’s Twist Again, and allowed the children to respond in their own way. There was some fancy footwork!

Year 1’s Gymnastics Competition!

13th December 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

It was Year 1’s final gymnastics session with Mr Gilmore this week. The children have been working hard to learn elements for a routine, today they performed their routine in a competition.

Mr Gilmore watched each child perform their routine and scored them just as if they’d been competing in the Olympics. He was very impressed at the standard the children performed at and wasn’t able to only pick a first, second and third place. We had joint places for silver and gold! Amazing!

All of the children have worked so hard in their gymnastics lessons and every single one of them have developed new skills.

Tennis coaching

10th November 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

Year 1 are lucky enough to have a tennis coach coming in to school for the next four weeks to teach them some new skills.

The children tried really hard to perfect their throw position and the slingshot hit.

We may have some budding future Wimbledon stars!

Gymnastics with Mr Gilmore

Year 1 had their first gymnastics class with Mr Gilmore this week. They tried very hard to perfect their forward rolls. The children were so good at listening to Mr Gilmore’s guidance. We have some budding gymnasts in class 3!

PE with Mr Gibson

21st October 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

Year 1 this term have been practising basic skills – controlling the ball, throwing and catching as well as listening to and remembering the rules of the game and tasks.

We have loved working with Mr Gibson and learning how to throw and catch by ourselves and to a friend. We are getting really good and have learnt how to follow the bean bag with our eyes to help us catch successfully.

National Fitness Day 2021

21st September 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

On Tuesday 21st September, all children from Years 1-6 came to school in their sports clothes to recognise National Fitness Day. We were especially lucky to have an excellent personal trainer volunteer their time to come in and compete a short session with every year group.

During their PT session, the children had to rotate around 4 different exercise stations around the hall where they had to complete different exercises such as star jumps, sit ups, ladder runs and hurdles – all activities designed to get the blood pumping!

Take a look at the fun we had!

Sports Day 2021

8th July 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

This year, being a little bit different, we couldn’t gather in our key stages to compete in sports day. We did however, all take to the tracks to compete in our bubbles.

There were various games competed in house colours including balancing a bat on a ball, bean bag shuttle, and the sack race!

It was such good fun for all year groups – everyone had a tremendous time!

Have a look below at some short videos of each year group enjoying their turn on the tracks.
