Today we started our new PE topic of netball. The children have done netball in Year 5 so we had a recap on the different types of throws and passes. We looked at how to accurately use chest pass, shoulder pass and bounce pass to get the ball to our partners.

Year 6 Jolly hockey sticks!

Date: 17th Mar 2022 @ 8:46pm

For the first time in a long time, the sun was shining today on our PE session. We are half way through our hockey unit and we are getting much better at moving and passing the ball. We have learned how to perform the Indian dribble and a jab tackle. Today we tried our hand at accurate shooting and then got involved in a competitive 1v1 game called quicksticks. The progress is clear to see and some of us almost managed to beat Mrs. Hamilton. Almost!

Year 4 are really looking forwrad to seeing how this develops in the coming weeks and eventually moving onto reading maps!

Getting Active!

Date: 16th Mar 2022 @ 10:20pm

In December, Mrs Webster asked the School Council if they had any ideas as to how they could help get children more active at playtimes by improving their KS1 playground. 

Each school councillor went back to their class for ideas, these were then given to Mrs Webster, and the result was- well take a look for yourselves! 

"I love playing snakes and ladders!" 

"You take turns throwing the ball to each other- it keeps you fit!" 

"Hopping and jumping and running can keep you healthy"

Year 2 George's Marvelous Dancing

Date: 15th Mar 2022 @ 2:35pm

This half term in PE, Year 2 are focusing on Dance. We begun the half term by linking our dance to our Science topic Electricity and did lots of work moving our bodies as if it was full of Electricity. Now we have developed the confidence to move our bodies creatively we have begun to create a dance based on our class novel 'George's Marvellous Medicine.' First we created a bank of adjectives to describe George and Granny before acting these out and adding movement to it; then we got out some different resources and using their magical powers controlling us before we added them to our potions. We are impressed with the children's determination and team work skills and cannot wait to see the final performance.

Year 5 Handball!

Date: 2nd Mar 2022 @ 5:31pm

In PE we are currently learning how to play the brilliant game of handball. The game is very fast-paced and action packed, so the children need to have good speed, strength and stamina. We have been developing our throwing and catching skills and learning the rules of the sport. The pupils have to work as a team to breakdown defenses and create spaces in attack to score goals. 

Year 4 Fit 2 Go

Date: 20th Feb 2022 @ 4:35pm

Last half term Year 4 had weekly visits from Blackpool FC and had an amazing time on the Fit 2 Go initiative! Some fantastic games that were not only fun, but really raised our pulses and incorporated a lot of teamwork and problem solving. We also learned so much from our theory sessions which were all about how we can keep both our body and our minds healthy. A huge thank you to Blackpool FC, we had an amazing time and learned so much in the process!

Nursery Tuff Trays

Date: 8th Feb 2022 @ 5:14pm

We love a good Tuff Tray activity in nursery! Tuff trays are great for setting up a range of activities and the great thing is that they cover so many areas of learning. This week we have made potions in one of our outdoor trays. This provided some great opportunites for the children including exploring colour mixing, capacity, counting, developing communication and langauge skills and fine motor skills. It was also great for social skills as the children had to negotiate and take turns with the equipment. As the activity was open eneded, the children explored things further by pouring their potions down some pipes. They loved to see what happened when the coloured water hit the tray at the bottom! 

Reception Meet Danny Determination

Date: 28th Jan 2022 @ 5:19pm

This week the children were introduced to the characteristic monster Danny Determination. Danny Determination taught us that you have to keep on trying and not give up no matter how hard it might be. Children showed determination with their phonics, writing and maths- even using the new sports equipment outside.

Take a look at how determined we are in Reception! 

Year 6 Gymnastic Routines

Date: 27th Jan 2022 @ 7:07pm

This week in our gymnastic session, we have continued to focus on balances and counter balances. We learned how to do several rolls, including a log roll and the teddy bear roll. We then combined the rolls with balances to create a short routine. Finally, included apparatus in our routines. 

Year 6 Gymnastics

Year 2 Namaste

Date: 13th Jan 2022 @ 4:05pm

Year Two have enjoyed their new PE unit, Yoga.  This is the first time it has been on our school curriculum and it is proving to be popular.  The children have been working hard on stretching their body parts, breathing techniques and balancing.  We were amazed that such a quiet and calming activity could be so could for our minds and bodies.  So far we have learnt the butterfly pose, the tree pose, the mountain pose, the tiger pose, the cobra pose and the aeroplane pose.   Over the next few weeks we will be perfecting these as well as learning some more poses.

Year 5 Dance with Miss Britt

Date: 13th Jan 2022 @ 2:14pm

During our PE sessions this half-term, we are lucky enough to have Miss Britt teaching us dance. 

We started off the term by warming up and getting to know Miss Britt, learning a few simple dance moves and practicing some fitness based activities to get us used to the amount of stamina needed to sustain a full dance routine. 

As we progress through the half-term, we will be making up and learning dance routines relevant to our learning that takes place in class. 

 

Year 3 Fitness Frenzy!

Date: 13th Jan 2022 @ 9:08am

In PE, we tested our fitness levels by completing circuit training. We first of all warmed up and discussed the changes that happen to our bodies and why this is so important!

During the circuit, we all noticed we got much warmer, our faces got red and we started to sweat. Most people found the plank the hardest and we decided we needed to work on developing our core strength. 

Year 3 Fitness fans!

Date: 11th Jan 2022 @ 9:28am

This half term we are focussing on Health Related Fitness. We started our session with games of never ending tig and spoke about why we do a warm up and the importance of them. We then took part in a curcuit which included star jumps, planing, side jumps, step ups and sprinting. We really enjoyed our session and some children took what they had learnt on to the playground !

This week the school councillors met virtually with a very special guest- Mrs Webster, PE subject leader . She wanted them to discuss how the sports premium can be spent by  improving our playground to get children active at playtimes. There were lots of ideas from a racing track to snakes and ladders to skipping ropes in KS2 playground. All the councillors will feed this information back to their classes and we will meet again shortly to discuss the outcomes and inform Mrs Webster.

Reception have been learning the beginnings of gymnastics in PE. They have been using their bodies to make different shapes. This develops strength, fitness, confidence and flexibility. It is also a lot of fun!

Take a look at how we are doing!

 

It All Got A Little Bit Messy!

Date: 28th Nov 2021 @ 12:38pm

The children love sensory experiences in nursery and they provide so many learning opportunites. They are great for physical development as they require the use of both fine and gross motor skills. The are also a great way for children to build relationships with each other as they share and take turns and talk about what they experiencing. As well as all of this, they also support the children's communitcation and language development as the describe, question and explain what they are experiencing. Oh, and of course they have a lot of fun! 

Children in Need

Date: 22nd Nov 2021 @ 10:38am

Today we enjoyed Children in Need. Dressed in either spots or stripes, we all joined in with the Joe Wicks live Children in Need workout this morning. However, this was a workout with a twist! We took part in 20 minutes of exercise which was also combined with answering some quite tricky general knowledge questions. We all enjoyed the challenge! We then spent Always time making some Pudsey themed crafts and practising the hand jive before our special end of the day assembly. We had lots of fun alongside discussing why we raise money for Children in Need.

Working out for Children in Need

Date: 21st Nov 2021 @ 6:46pm

Today we celebrated Children in Need by dressing up in spots and stripes. To wake us up for the day and give us energy, we took part in a Joe Wicks workout where we had to answer questions. Each question had 2 options and each option had an exercise movement!! It was a fun way to start the day.

 

Gymnastics!

Date: 19th Nov 2021 @ 4:15pm

Our Year 4's have been tumbling around in their PE lesson this week as we have started doing gymnastics this half term. We have been working on some of our balances and even improving our teamwork! 

Children In Need

Date: 19th Nov 2021 @ 3:59pm

Today, alongside the rest of school, Year 2 celebrated Children in Need. This morning, we all dressed in spots or stripes and we joined in with the Joe Wicks live Children in Need workout combining 20 minutes of exercising with answering different general knowledge questions. This afternoon, we joined the rest of school in assembly to learn about the importance of Children in Need, who it supports in our local community and why we fundraise for the cause. To end the day on some fun, in the true Children in Need style, we performed the Hand Jive. We had lots of fun dancing but also remembered why we raise money.
