The children have enjoyed doing gymnastics in PE this week. We have been very lucky to have coaches from Beth Tweedle teaching the children various skills. They have been learning to use the springboard, different types of rolls and balancing on the benches. Well done Year 1! 

This week we have been working in teams using our orienteering course. It was great fun and we will be using it lots more in the future.

Today we have been practising throwing and catching skills with a bean bag. We moved the bean bag around our bodies, passed it from one hand to the other and then threw the bean bag up in the air catching it with both hands. We also used hoops to practise throwing into a target. Well done children…

We have been working on our fore hand tennis skills.

Well done to our Year 6 netball team for competing in the South Sefton Netball League. The girls made fantastic progress throughout the year and enjoyed playing competitively. 

In P.E this week, we continued to work on our vault techniques.

The children practiced using a range of different apparatus. 

Year 1 have enjoyed playing invasion games this afternoon. In pairs they had to pass the ball to each other through the gate. 

As part of our gymnastics lesson, the children developed their vaulting and rolling techniques.

They focused on the position of their hands and feet and finishes when landing.

Today the children used the climbing frame to help improve and practise their balancing and climbing skills. They used their strength and coordination to move around the different areas whilst having fun in the sun.

Parachute play provides opportunities for cooperation, participation, turn taking and creativity.  We are developing our gross motor skills and our listening skills.  The children loved hiding underneath it too!  

We have started our dance unit of work called machines. It’s been great fun so far and we have created some amazing routines.
