Year 4 - PE: Athletics
Our first athletics session in Year 4 was all about demonstrating our throwing and sprinting skills. The children learned about positioning, leg work and arm movement to improve how fast they could sprint and how far they could throw overarm to a target. They then applied these skills through a series of fun team games.

Year 6 - Football
This week in PE, our Year 6 pupils continued developing their football skills. The children focused on a range of key aspects of the game through a series of engaging activities. They took part in zone ball to develop accurate passing and teamwork, developed their shooting by aiming to hit a ball placed on a cone and improved their control by dribbling through gates. Throughout the session, the children demonstrated great determination, coordination and sportsmanship, while building their confidence with the ball at their feet. It was fantastic to see their skills progressing and their enthusiasm for the game shining through.
Reception: Muddy Monday
What a fantastic afternoon we had at Whitehall Park today! We were blown away by the children's bravery and determination as they explored the great outdoors. Many of our little explorers challenged themselves to reach new heights, showing incredible physical strength and focus as they climbed trees much higher than they ever have before! It was wonderful to see their confidence grow with every branch they conquered. Whether they were finding the perfect foothold or cheering on their friends from below, the teamwork and grit on display were truly inspiring.
Reception - Hop, Skip & Jump
Reception thoroughly enjoyed taking part in our yearly ‘Hop, skip & jump’ around our school 1k track to raise money for East Lancashire Hospice. The children wore their Easter crowns with pride and moved around our school track by hopping, skipping or jumping. What a brilliant effort by all.
Year 1 PE: Sequencing
In their final gymnastics session, Year 1 had to put some sequences together. It incorporated all the skills they have been learning. Some of them looked like real gymnasts.
Year 4 - PE: Orienteering
In our final orienteering session, the Year 4s were ready to explore further afield. Until this point, the children had been perfecting their map reading skills, understanding the importance of finding magnetic north and locating the start point. This session was an opportunity for the children to fine tune their teamwork skills - taking time to read the map and make group decisions about which direction to go in. The groups were given a medium route map which took them on to the furthest reaches of the top field. It was certainly an energetic session. The teams raced to each point in order to be the first team to finish, but the most successful teams were those who fulfilled their roles and talked about the locations before setting off running.
The Anderton Centre - Paddle Boarding
So we woke up to completely different weather this morning! The sun was beaming and after we had a delicious full English breakfast we descended on the lake to take part in XL paddle boarding. The children paddled for miles, played games and even managed ‘ Body Part Bingo’. We had a few slip ups and a few of the children ended up in the water. What a great way to finish our residential to The Anderton Centre. Big thanks to Mrs Araujo, Mrs Gardner and Mrs Singleton for their support and also to the parents, carers and children .
Year 1 PE: Jumping Skills
Year 1 loved jumping on different apparatus today, including an air mattress which made them go really high. They also practised rolling hoops and throwing and catching equipment .
Team Gardner - Problem Solving and Fashion Design
This afternoon Year 4 arrived at The Anderton Centre for our residential. The weather unfortunately isn’t on our side today so we had to change our activities to ensure we are kept safe. In our groups we have completed problem solving activities and a fashion design activity where the children had to create outfits from spare pieces of fabric. The children have had lots of fun and created masterpieces that they showed off on the catwalk.
