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 ?

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.

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

P.E

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

Circuit Class in PE

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