Circuit Class in PE

We increased our fitness in many ways this week: stamina, strength, speed, flexibility and co-ordination.

Super Circuits Session 2

Our fitness levels are increasing week by week. We are LOVING the energy levels we feel in these sessions, it is the BEST way to finish the week!

Action shots from an action packed PE lesson

We played our own game of ‘Hoop Ball’ today……. it’s a little like Benchball , but with hoops and outside.  High energy and lots of fun.

Y6 Netball: Small steps

Netball in small steps. We played 3v3 today, with a focus on not moving our feet, only pivoting when we had the ball. We also worked on our marking of opponents.

We have started our new PE topic – cricket. We practised our throwing and catching skills so we are ready for next week.

Having lots of P.E. fun

3KM have been loving practising their throwing and passing skills in P.E. The nicer weather is meaning we can enjoy our P.E. lessons outside.

Heart rate investigations in Y6 Science.

As part of our ‘Circulatory Unit’ in Science, we devised our own investigations (in small groups) to find out about the effect of exercise on our heart rate. Some groups changed the exercise carried out, some changed the number of repetitions and some changed the time set. All results were recorded and are to be discussed in order to draw our conclusions.

P.E

We had lots of fun in P.E today. We had to jump and stop when directed while playing the frog game.

Great morning with our Everton project! We made our dough from scratch, cut up our own toppings and created wonderful pizzas!

Athletics season has begun.

We began with sprint relay races, over the flat and over hurdles. Paris Olympics here we come ??‍♂️??‍♀️?

Sprinting Session Number 2

Another superb athletics session this afternoon. So much energy and stamina. Great job Year 6 ????‍♀️??‍♂️??‍♀️???

Time for Cricket

Year 3 have been learning a new skill in their P.E. lessons. They have started to learn the rules and skills of cricket. They had a great time learning how to be a batter and a baller in this weeks lesson. 

Cricket

Javelins incoming …. take cover!! ??

The rain held off today and weather conditions proved perfect for our first javelin session. When we improved our holding position and our aim, we saw how much further we could throw!  A great time had by all.

Javelin session 2 in the SUN ☀️

How lucky were we today! Zero wind ? and lots of sunshine ☀️ so we could enjoy our second javelin session in the best possible way ?
