This week some children from Year 3 and 4 took part in an orienteering festival at William Brookes School. They all worked so hard to show good cooperation and determination to succeed. The young leaders at the festival wanted to especially award Zac and Jools for displaying friendship and kindness throughout the afternoon. Well done! 

In P.E this week Year 6 continued to work on their batting skills in rounders.

Year 3 learnt our to play a drive shot in tri-golf. 

Children in Year 1 and Reception did gymnastics, focusing on balancing skills. 

This week in P.E children in Year 6 have started learning rounders bowling skills and some rules of the game.

Year 3 and 4 have been working on some basic orienteering skills. This included working as a team to find specific points located on a map. It required leadership skills, listening skills, communication and teamwork skills. They also tried out tri-golf! Learning putting skills. 

Throughout this half term Year 5 have been taking part in swimming and badminton lessons at William Brookes. As this week was our final week, Mrs Smith gave out some of her very rare gold stars! She chose children who had shown determination, resilience and worked really hard to make fantastic progress. Well done.

Each term Mr Jew and Miss Beamond choose two children from each year group who they think have demonstrated our school values in P.E and who have made excellent progress. Well done to all of the children chosen!

In P.E this week Year 1 practised kicking / passing in football. This required coordination and balance. This skill was practised in an isolated activity and then a conditioned game activity. 

Year 3 and 4 practised their backhand strokes in the tennis themed PE lesson. They practised in a simplified activity and then finished the lesson with a rally to see how many times they could keep passing the ball to each other. This PE lesson required the use of coordination to know when to swing the racket to hit the ball successfully.
