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.
Well done to all the children who attended the Cressage Cup this afternoon. We are so proud of how hard you all worked in both the netball and football competitions. You upheld our school values and represented yourselves proudly. Congratulations to the netball team, who came 3rd overall!
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!
This week some of our Year 2 children enjoyed a multi skills festival. The children were fantastic and were awarded with a certificate for the amazing team skills shown during the competition. Well done everyone!
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.
What a lovely day we have had on Thursday this week. The weather was sunny all day and the children in Key Stage 2 have had a fantastic time taking part in taster sessions provided by 6 local clubs. All of the visiting coaches were wonderful and we had lots of smiling and laughter from both children and adults.
The flyer taken home by the children on the day also has a ticket attached that will entitle the children to a free session at one of todays visiting clubs.
