Sports Day Update

We had a very successful Sports Day today, with lots of excellent performances and many happy children. Well done to all of the pupils for their enthusiasm and effort throughout the event!

Pupils will receive their results certificates on Wednesday, when I am back in school.

When comparing results from year to year, it is important to remember that a number of factors can influence performances. These include:

  • Weather conditions – today was a little blustery at times, which can affect some events.
  • The surface – this year we used a different surface. A track can often provide a faster and more consistent running surface than grass.
  • Equipment – some of the equipment used this year was slightly different, which may have given pupils a small advantage in some of the jumping events.
  • Recording of results – as with any event, slight variations in recording can occasionally affect scores.

Most importantly, the children had a fantastic day, showed great sportsmanship and thoroughly enjoyed taking part. Thank you for your support. 🏅😊

PE Term 4 Weeks 5-12

Weeks 5-8 Skipping

We started by developing our individual performance from a basic skip to trying  different actions with our feet like jumping jacks, ski’s, twists, etc.  We could also try moving the rope differently by doing cross overs and a double rope with one jump.  In our second week we introduced partner work, where we both still had our own ropes but tried to skip in time, and skipping on a bench.  We finished the block with group skipping using the longer ropes.

Week 9-12

This week sees the start of our last 4 week block of the term and the year, which is Rounders.  Here are the first two games we are doing.

– Circle and line – In 2 halves, 1 half stand in a circle and pass the ball around circle.  The other half stand in a corner and 1 at a time run around edge of gym.  See how many passes the circle team can make in the time it takes the other team to all have 1 shot each.

– Passing rounders – 2 teams, 1 fielding and the other batting.  The batters throw the ball out and run once round all the stumps.  The fielders score by throwing the ball as many times as they can before the batter gets home.  The team with the most throws wins.

Term 4 PE – Weeks 1-4

We began the term with a block of athletics. We took part in a variety of activities across three key areas: running, jumping and throwing. This gave us plenty of opportunities to learn, practise and improve the skills needed for our sports day events.

We finished Term 3 with a block of badminton, focusing on our hitting ability and team work.
