Summer School Sports

Over the last two weeks of summer St Albert’s run a sports camp for some of our pupils. It was a way of using sport to get our kids fit, active, have fun and get ready for coming back to school.

Over the two weeks we had over 100 kids attend the camp. As part of the camp our pupils received a St Albert’s fitness T-shirt, water bottle and a free lunch.  Our kids got the chance to play different sports from rugby and football to games of kick ball and Jungle run. A Big Thank you to UTD Sports coaching for coming helping out and also being great fun too.

Slackline Fun

This week we had a new addition to the schools health and wellbeing equipment. A new slackline with some climbing obstacles to go along with it.

Our new ninja line has been getting tested out by some of our class 2 pupils over the last few days as Me and Miss Cohen work out to secure it in High enough and safe place for classes for some safe climbing fun for classes.

Our Class 2 testers said it was good fun though!!!

Class 2 Karate

This term Class 2 are brushing up their Karate skills with Duncan. Previously before Covid-19 the Class used to work with David from Satori Karate so you can imagine the excitement in class 2 when it was announced that Duncan would be coming for karate this term.

I have to say none of the class have missed a step since their last session all the way back in March showing excellent power and technique in both their controlled kicking and punching. Perfect striking the hand pads quickly and effectively as well. I was very impressed with the enthusiasm and energy for everyone.

The hand pad boxing part of karate is great exercise that we can do in small spaces to help not only improve karate technique but also improve cardiovascular endurance too. Duncan will be back with Class 2 again on Friday for more fun exercises to help the class keep improving their fitness and technique.

Active Schools Term 2

Our Active schools co-ordinator Ivonne is back again this term and she’s working with our Infant department teaching them Orienteering skills. Our classes are so lucky to have Ivonne coming in every week to work with a few classes. This week it was Primary 2/3 and 3 who were showing off their skills.

Both classes were so good they actually got two different games each with Ivonne which impressed me, both teachers and Ivonne. So a big well done to both classes and we will see even again soon.

P5 Track and Field Athletics

Since the start of this term our Primary 5’s have been working very hard with Mrs Pattie and Duncan learning and challenging themselves at different track and field events during their PE time.

So far we have tried, Long jump, shot putt, baton relay races, 800 meters and today was Hurdles and Javelin. One set of our P5s were so good at the hurdles Duncan brought out bigger ones to challenge them.

Brilliant effort from the Primary 5’s on increasing there fitness during the sessions and am sure they are excited to see what’s in store for the next track and field sessions coming this week.

Active Schools Orienteering

Our primary 5 & 7s have been luck enough to be taking part in a orienteering session with our great Active Schools Co-ordinator Ivonne today. We at St Albert’s work with Active Schools over various different activities and events over the year so its great to have them back with us today.

Our Class had to find hidden letters that were spaced all around our playgrounds to make the longest word they could thing of. The P5s & 7s came up with some awesome words in some record times after being able to find all 10 letters that Ivonne had hidden around the area.

We all very much enjoyed it and had a lot of fun with Ivonne today. We are very excited to see what she has in store over the next few weeks. Thanks Ivonne.
