Year 6 P.E.
Year 6 completed their first orienteering session this week. They were working on keeping their maps set whilst moving.
Year 5/6 Netball Club
Today we returned to our after school netball club. We worked hard on drills such as pass and follow, with a focus on accuracy of passing the ball. The children worked hard on their footwork and pivoting too.
Year 4 PE - Invasion Games - Basketball
In our first session today we have been looking at various ways of passing, finding space and then we moved on to a quick game on the MUGA. The children worked hard to develop their dribbling and passing throughout the lesson and really tried hard to move into space.
Blackburn with Darwen Year 3/4 Gymnastics Competition
Today we attended the BwD Year 3/4 Gymnastics competition at St Bedes. The children have shown true dedication in learning both the body management and floor routines. Everyone represented the school brilliantly and the children really did themselves and our school family proud. We managed to achieve silver medals in the boys event and bronze in the girls! With over 16 schools taking place and over 100 children involved that is no mean feat- Go Team B!
Year 5- P.E- Orienteering
The children have enjoyed their first lesson of orienteering session with Sporting NRG. They worked together as a team to check and agree that they have matched all the names to the symbols. They demonstrated great teamwork by encouraging each other to do their best.
Year 1- Gymnastics
What a fun P.E lesson we had on Friday. We had lots of different stations that included climbing, balancing, jumping, and different rolls. Some of us found some of the stations tricky so we had to show lots of courage. A huge well done to all of year 1!
Year 2 - Gymnastics
Year 2 have been perfecting their tuck and star jumps in our gymnastics topic in PE. We looked at the core principles of gymnastics, starting positions, focus jump and landing position. All the children practised these jumps and did amazingly well throughout the lesson.
Year 3/4 Sportshall Athletics Winners 2023
What an amazing evening at the Year3/4 Sportshall Athletics event at DVHS. The children showed so much courage and determination as many of them had never competed in a school event before. They encouraged each other at every step and were definitely the loudest! We are super proud to say we WON and came away with the gold. Well done to all involved! Your hard work and dedication has paid off.
Year 4 - Tennis Skills
We’ve had great fun developing our racket skills this week. We’ve been self-serving and returning the ball with control to a partner. We’ve also been developing the skills of cooperation and teamwork in our caterpillar races.
Gifted & talented Gymnastics Club
Another awesome G & T Gymnastics club session led by coach Jill. Tonight, the children have been perfecting their routines with a focus on cartwheels and arabesque. The children have been working hard on both the body management and floor exercises.
