Active School Week
Walkway Challenges
During Active School Week, the children took part in many
many active walkway challenges. The children in the senior
helped the younger children complete the challenges. Great
fun was had by all.
Active Homework
Throughout Active Week the children did some active homework.
The active homework sheet is a great tool to encourage children
and their families to do some activity at home together and encouraging
a healthy lifestyle outside of school. This was very successful and it is
something the school has incorporated on P.E. days throughout the
school year.
Whole School Fun Event
All children in the school took part in a Marathon relay, which was a whole
school running event. Children and teachers ran a marathon on the school
grounds and laps and times were divided up equally amongst everyone. The children
showed great energy in completing all their laps whilst trying to beat the schools
previous marathon relay time.
Teachers vs Pupils
The teachers and children from 5th and 6th battled it out in
a game rounders during Active School Week. In a very even contest,
the pupils came out victorious in the end.
New Activities
During the week, the children tried some new activities and developed
new skills. The teachers introduced a range of games from skipping
activities and frisbee games. Local sports associations delivered some
quality coaching with some children experiencing rugby and tennis for
the first time.
