Reception- Muga Mondays
What a brilliant session! Thank you to our two sports leaders who planned and delivered a really fun session.
Year 1- Whitehall park visit
Our Gruffalo hunt on Monday finished with a trip to the park. Year 1 showed some super fundamental skills while we played on the park.
Year 4 - Dance
Our Dance topic in Year 4 this half term is Myths & Legends, and we began by exploring character movements. We then incorporated these into a solo routine.
P.E-Dance- Year 5
During our P.E session this afternoon, the children discussed the stages involved in making a cup of tea. They then replicated the action words, for example, lift, drop, pull, stir and pour with their bodies to create a dance movement.
Year 4 - Handball
It was our final week of handball in PE. Over the course of the half term we have developed throwing and catching skills, dribbling, how to get into a space to receive a pass and we’ve shown the core value determination to achieve our goals.
Brilliant Boccia
It was an absolute pleasure to take four superstars to the Boccia Festival this morning at QEGS. They won three out of their five games and represented our school so brilliantly, especially as they also assisted the referee when it wasn’t their turn to play and kept score. They are super keen to lead a Boccia club next term and Boccia sessions on the MUGA with Miss Baxendale at lunchtimes.
Football training in the sun
It’s wonderful to see so many boys and girls from Years 5 and 6 taking part in weekly football training sessions with Mr Bloomfield and Mr Prescott. What a lovely sunny evening with the best views in Darwen from the pitch!

Year 5 - Move and Learn
We did it!!! The children in Year 5 have completed a 5-week Move and Learn Project through Blackburn Rovers. Consisting of a series of classroom and physical education sessions, plus home-based family challenges, they have learnt about the importance of physical activity and how to eat a balanced diet and lead an active lifestyle. Well done!
KS1 - Multi skills festival
On Friday morning we took a team to the KS1 multi skills festival at QEGS Sports Hall. Everyone represented school brilliantly and most importantly had so much fun! We are so proud of everyone for trying their best even if they found something difficult. A massive thank you to Riley and Eva, our Sports leaders who came along to support 11 sports stars!
DPSSA Football
The lads were outstanding this evening and produced two fantastic results. A 1-1 draw, which could have very easily been a win, followed by an amazing 7-1 victory!
Year 1- Hello yellow hunt
What a fun session we had today, we went on a hunt to look for 10 yellow objects that had been hidden around our school. The excitement and competitiveness was on another level! Well done to red team for finding all the objects and being the first ones back.
Reception- 1k a day
Wow what a bunch of superstars! Reception’s first time doing the 1k and they were amazing! Hopping, jumping, running like a tigers, stomping like elephants and many more laps of fun!
