Year 1 PE: Gymnastics
Yesterday, our children became Superhero Gymnasts. We discussed our favourite superheroes, such as Thor, Captain America and Spider-Man, and noticed that they use gymnastics to help people. We became superhero’s and created our own superhero gymnastics sequence. We started by travelling through flames using bunny hop, caterpillar crawl, bear crawl or frog jump. Then we had to roll under lasers using egg roll, pencil roll or rock and roll. Once we safely got through the lasers we did our superhero pose (a three-point balance) and then rolled back through the lasers. Year 1 really enjoyed this sequence, especially with our superhero action music in the background.
Key Stage 1 Multi-Skills Festival
What a super morning we have had at the Key Stage 1 Multi- Skills Festival at St Bedes. The ten children from Year 1 had to move around the stations which involved a variety of physical activities that build fundamental movement skills like running, jumping, throwing, and catching, while also developing agility, balance, and coordination. These activities incorporated games and challenges that will improve the children's ability to work with others, follow instructions, and solve problems. At the end each school was awarded medals and the children were so happy and proud. A huge thank you to our Year 6 Sports Leaders for their support and encouragement.

Sportshall Athletics Trials
Today we held the first one of our Year 5/6 Sportshall Athletics trials. The children practiced long jump, triple jump, obstacle race, speed bounce and the baton exchange in relays. Everyone worked so hard and showed a great attitude when trying out new skills! What a great way to end the week!

Year 5 - PE
The children continued developing their skills in badminton, becoming more comfortable with forehand and backhand shots. Working in pairs, one child threw the shuttlecock to the other player’s right and left side, encouraging the player to switch shots and accurately hit the shuttlecock back to their partner. Then we started building rallies, with children serving underhand and hitting the shuttlecock back and forth until it hits the ground.
Year 3 Explores Blacksnape Park
After visiting Nightingale Farm, Year 3 spent some time at Blacksnape Park. The children ran, played, and discovered different areas of the park, showing great curiosity and energy. It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to appreciate God’s creation and enjoy life to its fullest in a safe, outdoor environment.
Year 4 - PE: Gymnastics Routines
Our Year 4 budding gymnasts began their new unit recapping some of the types of travels they have learned in previous years and perfected their technique. They then chose a routine and worked with a partner to learn and perform their routine for the rest of the class.
Reception- Trekking Tuesday- Remembrance
Today we had our Trekking Tuesday forest school session and for the first part of the session we were thinking all about Remembrance Day and we created some lovely natural poppies. We then went on to have some free choice and exploration on this very muddy Tuesday. The children loved jumping in the muddy puddles, creating with sticks and hiding in natural dens.
Year 6 - Counterbalancing
Today in gymnastics, Year 6 built on their balance skills by incorporating apparatus into their counter-balance sequences. The children worked collaboratively to create controlled, coordinated routines that demonstrated strength, teamwork and trust.
Year 1 PE: Underarm Throwing and Rolling a Ball
Year 1 tried really hard with their underarm throwing and rolling a ball. Some children even started to underarm throw with their opposite hand to challenge themselves. We noticed that we stand very similarly when underarm throwing and rolling a ball, but we have to bend lower when we are rolling.
Reception PE - Jumping Stations
This week we have continued to develop our jumping skills in the hall. The children accessed four different jumping stations where they could practise jumping and landing appropriately.
