Well what a morning we had having fun in the snow around our new campus. We built some snowmen, went sledging, made snow angels and threw a few snowballs. Let it Snow, let it snow, let it snow!

This week Primary A had lots of fun on our visit to the local park. They shared the equipment well and took turns of all the different play apparatus. The boys and girls also engaged in lots of active outdoor play by running and climbing and walking to and from the school safely. Well done primary A!

Pri mary B had fun on our Autumn walk this morning during PE. We played some very active chase games , did some leaf throwing and even managed a few races. We all enjoyed the fresh air and a little break from the school.

The Primary C pupils have been enjoying the crisp, sunny weather today during their PE session. We  did some wake up and shake up dances and completed our daily mile around Barshare Primary, then had our snack outside at the picnic tables. After that we managed a fun orienteering activity where we had to search an unfamiliar part of the school grounds for cones which had stickers for us to collect. Everyone worked hard!

This week the Senior class have been practicing some relaxation techniques and Yoga Postures. As you can see they have been copying the movements very well and are able to name some of the poses with symbol support. We were also talking a little about flexibility and how it benefits our bodies. Namaste everyone!

Hi everyone,

I thought I’d share some photos of our Sports day this year. It wasn’t the best we have organised (my bad) but you live and learn. Still lots of positives to draw on. ……………… the young people coped exceptionally well with all the chaos and some of them had an absolute ball getting loads of free space to explore. They also really enjoyed the giant parachute and took the completely new environment in their stride. Well done guys you saved the day xxx

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all had a nice Easter and enjoyed some fun in the sunshine. I am hoping to post some little videos (as soon as the Facebook page is up and running) for you all which you can watch and join in with/complete, if you want to, of different PE related tasks and activities. However I want to stress that this is completely optional. We are all just doing what we can to get by just now and if trying to do the tasks/videos makes things more stressful then please don’t put yourself under any more pressure. Similarly if you find that some physical games and activities would be helpful to add into your day and you would like more material or ideas then please get in touch with myself via email, comments on the FB page or via the schools twitter.  I can send individualised videos and activities to suit the needs of your child or situation. This includes ideas for parents and other sibling to all join in together and make it a team effort. I can tailor this to the interests and hobbies of each family and/or pupil and it will aim to be simple, fun and light hearted.  The main goal is to stay connected with you all and our lovely Hillside family, anything else is a bonus xxxx
