Year 5 PE - Gymnastics

The children explored body tension, extension, and control as they mastered their very first core position: the straddle pose. Working on the mats, pupils focused on keeping their legs straight, toes pointed, and posture strong. It was brilliant to see everyone showing such determination and flexibility as they built the foundation for more complex balances and routines.

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!

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!
