Sports Leaders Event - Whole School Inter House Sports
Our Sports Leaders led our Inter House Sports event today and what a huge success it was! Every single year group from Reception all the way up to Year 6 took part. The Sports Leaders decided to start with a bench ball event and organised the timetable and refereed each game. We can’t wait to hear who the overall winning house team is next week in Celebration Worship!
Year 6 Golden time in the golden sunshine
It’s been a very busy morning for our Year 6 children with our Head boy and Head girl supporting the younger children at the KS1 multi-skills festival, the Sports Leaders leading the inter house bench ball competition and the rest of the class attending the Remembrance Service. After the service the children enjoyed having some golden time at Whitehall Park in the golden sunshine!
KS1 Multi-Skills Festival
This morning a group of super stars from KS1 took part in a multi-skills festival at QEGS in Blackburn. We were so impressed with how well the children represented our school as they behaved brilliantly and really got stuck into every activity. Our head boy Wilson and head girl Lucy accompanied them and encouraged and supported them throughout the morning. A huge thanks to Miss Baxendale for coaching the children.
Reception Inter House Games
Today Reception were led by our sports leaders in a game of ‘bench ball’ which is a firm favourite amongst all of our classes in school. Reception were very excited to play the game together in their teams. All reception children joined in, listened well and gave it their all, well done to you reception!

Year 4 PE - Gymnastics
Year 4 demonstrated some excellent balances and travels in PE this week. We were working on dishes and arches this week and, in pairs, the children created a routine incorporating a range of balances and travels.
Multi-Skills Sports Club
Today saw the start of our first multi-skills sports club session. The children took part in various activities such as speed bounce, obstacle relays and then finished with bench ball. Every child worked really hard to develop their skills and applied various tactics when working with different age groups.
Y5/6 Sportshall Athletics Club
We had a fantastic turn out for our first Year 5/6 Sportshall Athletics Club this week. We covered speed bounce, sprint relay and throwing events with some amazing results. The children pushed themselves out of their comfort zones and we had a lot of very red faces by the end with fun had by all!
Year 5 - Dance
Year 5 have started their dance unit in PE. They have begun creating a dance sequence that demonstrates making a cup of tea. The children worked really well as part of a team and began to use emotions and metaphorical actions to represent the different stages of making a cup of tea. As part of a team, the children evaluated each stage of their routine to make it better and discussed how to make it more appealing to an audience. Year 5 were extremely creative and created very exciting and engaging routines.
Year 3- P.E- Superheroes dance
This term in P.E., Year 3 will be learning how to move and dance with partners, focusing on the theme of superheroes. They will use their faces and bodies to show different actions and feelings related to superheroes. In today's lesson, they practised using their faces and bodies to show superhero gestures.
Year 5 and 6 football
Another great night for our Year 5&6 school football team who maintained their unbeaten record in the Darwen schools league. They played another three matches against: St Joseph’s, Avondale and St James Lower Darwen. They won each match comfortably and showcased their amazing football talents. Huge congratulations to the team.
