This week is Bike to School Week 2020 – please take this opportunity to travel to school with your children in an ‘active’ way – that’s walking, scooting or cycling and make the start and the end of the school day a much healthier time for all of us!

Thanks you for your support

 

 

2A - Sports Relief

We have had a fantastic day raising money for sports relief. Everyone enjoyed dressing in non-uniform clothing. What an exciting week! 

New KS2 Playground Markings

There were lots and lots of excited faces in the Key Stage 2 playground yesterday morning, on our return to school after the half term holiday. The reason – new playground markings to explore for all the children, including a snakes and ladders game, an active zone and a new 5-a-side football pitch.

As you can see from the images below, despite the 'miserable’ weather at breaktime, the children still managed to really enjoy interacting with the new playground markings. Let’s hope the weather improves this week, so the children can continue to explore and enjoy these new resources...

Year 5 - Cricket

For the whole of this half term 5R and 5W have been lucky enough to receive some additional cricket sessions from a Chance to Shine coach, organised by Essex County Cricket Club. During this time they have developed a number of skills associated with cricket, including bowling, batting and catching.

Both classes have also had the opportunity to play several matches at the end of their lessons, something they particularly enjoyed taking part in. Bring on the summer and more opportunities to take part in cricket lessons!

Reception - Balance Bikes

Reception have been having fun in the garden, getting used to our brand new balance bikes. The children have been learning to push themselves along on the bikes and balance. They are getting really good at the bikes already.

1Q - Jumping and landing safely in PE

In PE this week 1Q have been learning how to jump and land safely. We were practising how to point our knees forward when taking off and then bend our knees when we land.

We had great fun!
