Year 5 - PE
In PE, we further developed our rounders skills by practising hitting the ball from a stationary position while focusing on power and accuracy. Batters attempted to carefully aim their shot to exploit gaps in the fielding team while looking at the ball and adopting an appropriate body position. The fielding team focused on being ready to catch or block the ball, working as a team to stop their opponents.
Year 1 PE: Scoring Goals
Year 1 had a shorter PE session today due to the hotter weather, however it was still very productive. We practised kicking the ball into a target which was hurdles. We split into teams of 4 and tried to score as many goals as we could in 5 minutes. It was amazing to see the children controlling the ball, defending and using some tackling skills they have learnt outside of school.

Year 4 - Tennis
Year 4 enjoyed another fantastic tennis session. The children focused on developing their rallying skills, showing excellent control, concentration and teamwork as they worked with their partners to keep the ball in play. It was brilliant to see their confidence and resilience continue to grow, with everyone demonstrating great determination and sportsmanship throughout the session.
Reception class watch England v Mexico
Our reception class had the absolute best time cheering on England! They watched the England v Mexico match together as a class, and the energy in the room was incredible. It was so lovely to see them completely into the spirit of the game, chanting and cheering the boys on with so much enthusiasm. They are already buzzing with excitement to watch the next match or catch the highlights this weekend. Come on England!

Reception Sports Day
Our Reception children took part in their first Sports Day at St Barnabas. All of the children participated in an obstacle race, egg and spoon race, sack race and sprint race. A huge well done to all of our children for taking part although we think we might need to work a little bit more on resilience and understanding that not everyone can win. Thank you to all of our parents and carers for coming along to support and cheer the children on!
Sports Day Parent Races
A huge thank you to all of the parents and carers who joined in with our races today! It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces taking part and creating such a fun atmosphere for the children to enjoy. The cheering, laughing and friendly competition made for some brilliant memories.
Years 3-5 Sports Day
We were so impressed with the behaviour and mature attitudes of our junior children today at their Sports Day. They tried their absolute best and encouraged each other so brilliantly. A huge thank you to the parents and carers who came along to show their support.
Year 5 - PE
Year 5 continued to develop their rounders skills by taking part in a variety of activities aimed at promoting both underarm and overarm throws, catching, hitting the ball and positional awareness. These are all elements of the game of rounders that we are growing in both technical awareness and confidence. I was hugely impressed by the teamwork and team spirit on display. Well done Year 5!

Year 4 Football Festival
Today, our Year 4 football team took part in a fantastic football festival, competing against a number of other primary schools. The team represented the school brilliantly, showing excellent teamwork, determination and sportsmanship throughout the day. Across 12 matches, the children produced an outstanding set of results, winning 9 games, drawing 2 and losing just 1. Their commitment, resilience and positive attitude were evident in every match and they should be incredibly proud of their achievements. A huge well done to all of the players for their fantastic effort and for representing our school with such pride. ⚽👏
