DPSSA Netball League
No team photo because we got carried away and were so focused on the task in hand, so a pile of bibs and ball with impressive wins on show. The children worked really well to develop their game play today. Our shooters were on point and we played across the whole of the court. Two games and two spectacular wins for Team B again! Super proud of you all.
Year 2 - PE
In PE this week we have continued to work on our bat and ball skills. We have been practicing skills in isolation over the past few weeks. This week it was time to see if we could implement these skills into a competitive game of tennis rounders.
Year 5&6 Cricket
Today was another fantastic session with our cricket group. The children put into practise all their skills and played by the Dynamo rules that the children will be playing in. They learnt the tactical side of the game whilst perfecting their strike, bowling and fielding skills.
Year 5 - Jag Tag
Another amazing Year 5 Jag Tag session today. The children were putting into practise their throwing and catching skills while beginning to focus upon their defensive and attacking tactical play. The children chased and defended their side learning how to deceive their opponent best.
Year 6 P.E.
Year 6 continued their athletics unit. This week, we focused on our running, jumping and throwing skills. As always, we emphasised the importance of being in competition with yourself and trying to better your own personal outcomes. Year 6 took part with great enthusiasm and listened attentively on how to better their technique.
Reception- Caterpillar PE
Reception have had a fun packed PE session today, carrying on with our Hungry Caterpillar theme we used the apparatus to move like a caterpillar and turn into a butterfly. We crawled, climbed, balanced and jumped and all of the children had a try on all of the stations and are really developing those key fundamental skills. Well done Reception!
Year 6 JagTag
Year 6 have continued with their JagTag unit. This week, they started to explore some of the positions involved in American Football and carried out some passages of play.
Bee Stinger Netball Qualifiers - Winners
This evening we attended the Bee Stinger Netball Qualifiers at St Bedes. We played four games and managed to achieve some fantastic results - 1-0, 6-1, 4-1 and 6-2. The children worked really hard in driving the ball forward and using their space more wisely. We now look forward to attending the grand final in a few weeks- Go Team B!
Year 4 - PE: Dance
This week’s dance lesson had the Year 4 children working in unison. They worked in groups and choreographed some movements to demonstrate electrical components. Their actions included turns, reaches, jumps and wriggles and they worked hard to keep in time with each other. We will be putting these movements into a whole-class dance over the next couple of weeks.
Year 3- Hop, Skip and Jump
