This morning, Year 5 had the exciting opportunity to learn from a professional cricket coach. The session introduced the children to key cricket techniques such as bowling, batting, fielding, and team coordination. Children also explored the overall tactics and rules of the game, building both their skills and understanding. The children demonstrated great effort and teamwork throughout the session, which culminated in a series of competitive games where they could apply what they had learned.
Year 5 - Gymnastics
Today, Year 5 continued their gymnastics unit by incorporating apparatus into their sequences. The focus was on mastering levels, synchronisation, and maintaining balance with their partners. The students worked diligently to create sequences involving counter-balancing, ensuring that their movements flowed smoothly and with elegance. Their hard work and attention to detail truly shone through in the gracefulness of their transitions.
Reception: Muddy Monday
Reception class had their first Muddy Monday session and they walked up to our school field. The children stayed close to each other whilst walking and they all managed to get to the field safely. The children enjoyed rolling down the hill, racing and finding bugs in the grass. It was pouring down but the rain did not stop the,. They are looking forward to next week's Muddy Monday.

Year 6 - Applying passing skills to a game situation
Today, year 6 built on the work they did in their last P.E. lesson and developed their passing skills further. Some of the children then applied these skills to a game situation in which they had to avoid a defender.
KS2 Football Trials
Our Upper KS2 children participated in this season's school football trials, demonstrating both their skills and teamwork. Everybody played exceptionally well, showcasing their impressive talents, from sharp dribbling and accurate passing to strong defence and goal-scoring techniques. The enthusiasm on the field was contagious, as the children gave their best efforts and enjoyed the opportunity to compete and improve their abilities. It was fantastic to see their passion for the game, and we're excited to see how their football journey progresses this season.
Year 5 - Gymnastics
Year 5 have continued to explore their gymnastics unit, focusing closely on mirroring, synchronization, and refining their technique. The children collaborated to create their own routines, working together to execute perfect synchronisation and demonstrate fluidity in their movements. Their dedication and teamwork were evident as they experimented with different forms and pushed themselves to perfect each sequence. It was an inspiring display of creativity and precision!
Reception- Outdoor Gym
This morning we have been out on our outdoor gym for the first time. After demonstrating how to use the equipment the children then had a go themselves. They were so sensible and used the equipment safely. They especially enjoyed the cross trainers and exercise bikes. Well done Reception class!
Netball Club
What a great start to our new year netball club. A super turn out, hard work, determination and encouragement all round. We had some new members and some old with everyone showing great respect towards each other.
Year 6 - What makes a good play leader?
Today, Year 6 spent their P.E. lesson thinking about the qualities of a good play leader. They took part in a relay race and had to create a group image that displayed symbols representing these qualities. We spoke about the importance of being prepared, observant, patient, understanding and a good communicator. I’m sure year 6 will be great role models to the younger children in our school.
