Year 2- Wigan Warriors Workshop
Date: 25th Jun 2024 @ 2:54pm
Today, we had a visit from Josh from Wigan Warriors Rugby Club. He did a workshop with us teaching us how to hold the ball and we played various games that involved us travelling with the ball safely in two hands and begun to practice our catching skills, throwing it a short distance to a partner. We ended the session by learning how to score a try in Rugby and practiced by trying to collect as many cones as we could in a relay race, tapping the ball on the cone to collect it and score the points. The children loved learning some basic rugby skills and enjoyed the session.

Year 3- Perfecting our balancing skills!
Date: 11th Jun 2024 @ 10:05am
In PE, we have started our gymnastics unit. We have started by looking at balancing. We used various body points to balance on. We looked at how we could use 2, 3, 4 and 5 points to create creative balances.
We then worked in pairs to have a balancing competition. Firstly, we created a balance and then our partners had to place cones over us. Using control and concentration, we had to remain as still as possible to keep our cones balanced!

Our outdoor space is brilliant for the children to develop their gross motor skills. One activty that they love is using rollers and paint brushes to wash the windows and anything else they can find! The large action of moving the brush and roller across a large space is great for developing arm, shoulder and wrist muscles.

Over the last few weeks Acorns have been exploring how our bodies can move. We have enjoyed rolling over yoga balls and trying out yoga, kicking and throwing a variety of equipment and running and jumping. Our most enjoyable moments are when we are watching ourselves move in the large mirrors. We also had lots of fun taking part in some turn taking activities, including rolling the balls to our peers. Through PE, Acorns are developing their gross motor skills and social interactions with others. We are also exploring healthy bodies leading to happy minds and we certainly have lots of fun!

Some of us were very creative at finding different ways to get the cones to balance.

The children have been really engaged building obstacle courses outside using bricks, planks and crates. They have worked together to move the resources and position them to make fantastic obstacle courses. The children then navigated the obstacle course finding the best pathway and doing their own risk assessments to make sure the bricks were safe and not to wobbly!
