PE - Teamwork and Problem Solving
Date: 17th Oct 2019 @ 4:16pm
This half term we have been working on our ability to work as a team to solve a range of different problems. We have worked in a range of different groups and linked our skills from a a variety of sports. Throughout PE we have reflected upon our learning and how this links to the characteristics.
The One Where They Play Hockey!
Date: 1st Oct 2019 @ 6:32pm
Our PE unit this half term is hockey. Over the past few weeks we have been practising keeping control of the ball, dribbling the ball into positions and push passing to a partner. This week we have progressed to playing competitive matches against each other. We are learning to mark a player and intercept the ball when it comes near us. We still need to work on getting into a space and not all crowding around the person with the ball!

Welcome back everyone after the Summer break! It has been lovely to hear all about your Summer trips and activities, and to meet our new children! This week we have been learning all about ourselves and how we are similar and different. We have made ourselves using collage and looking at our hair and eye colour. We have explored all the areas of Nursery and spent some time in the outside area creating and taking part in an obstacle course. We have started to talk about our families and who we live with, including our pets! We will be looking at this more next week.

The sun was out for our Sports Day Stay and Play! Lots of our grown ups came into Nursery and together we took part in lots of activities including an obstacle course, beanbag balancing and even welly throwing! All the Nursery children were very excited to complete the activities alongside their grown ups. Everyone had a great day which we rounded off with a cool down in Nursery with a well deserved drink and snack!

It was a warm sunny day for our children that enjoyed various activities on the mugga, including a relay race, egg and spoon and obstacle course. Children developed their competitive spirits in order to gain house points for their team. A great day enjoyed by all.
Lets get creative! #NorthernBalletSchool

Our visit from the Royal Ballet school was fantastic! Keisha, a dancer from Northern Ballet, worked with us to explore the story and characters within Puss in Boots. We took on different roles throughout the lesson and learnt how we could use our bodies and expression to convey different feelings and movements.

On Monday, we took part in our annual Sports Day. We competed in events such as the obstacle race, the sprint race and the relay race. We worked together to gain points for our house teams. We had a great morning trying our best, cheering on our team mates and being active. Thank you to all our parents and carers who came to support us.

What a day we had at school! The Green and Purple Bubble had such a busy no device day. Obviously we did some handwriting, reading and times tables, but we also had a great time making peppermint creams, wrap pizzas, playing board games, doing some PE and creating our own sunset art with oil pastels.
Some of the pupils at home also had a busy day too!
Team Work Makes The Dream Work

What a challenging lesson today’s OAA was! The pictures say it all!!!
Our first activity was to split into two groups and run through the hoola hoop obstacle course at the same time as the other team. Once we were face to face with our opponent, we had to play ‘rock, papers, scissors’ and the winner could carry on their journey as the other person had to go to the back of their line. As soon as one person made it to the other side, they won a point for their team.
Our next task consisted of us getting into groups of 4/5 where we had to balance the hoola hoop on the back of our hands (on our fingers). We then had to follow particular commands whilst the hoola hoop balanced such as: kneel down, raise your arms up, put one arm behind your back, lift one leg up etc… This tested our patience with our team and relied on good communication skills.
Our final task was to get into groups of 8 where we were given a number 1-8. There were 9 cones and we had to get in numerical order but only by moving one space (and person) at a time, and using the blank space. to achieve this This is a similar concept to the game slider puzzle.
We can’t wait to see what next week’s lesson has in store for us!
We loved performing in the Blackpool Digital Dance Festival!

This week in PE, we focused on perfecting our point and patch skills. A point is where a smaller body part is being used to balance, whereas a patch is where a larger body part is being used to balance. Today, we got apparatus out. We had to travel in different ways up the benches to the podiums. Once we were on the podiums, we had to hold our chosen point or patch. Then we had to safely jump off the podium and land on two feet.

On Rainbow Laces day, we learnt about stereotyping in sport. We discussed who imagined when we said the sports: gymnastics, ballet, football and swimming. We looked at famous males and females in these sports and the amazing accomplishments that they have achieved. By the end of the session, we had a good understanding that it doesn’t matter what gender we are, we should play sports that interest us most.
We learnt that we should not stereotype people or judge them based on their looks or genders. Be who you want to be and do the things that make you smile!
