This term during PE Year 1 have continued focussing on being champion dancers.

We now know that champion dancers move with control, listen to the rhythm of the music, use their imagination and move using big, clear actions.

Our focus this time was superheroes, something the children were really excited about! 

We shared our knowledge of superheroes, how they look, move and the skills and powers they have.

We then thought carefully about how we could use our bodies, and expressions, to show this.

Over the weeks we have created movements, dance and poses that encompass this, using our bodies to skilfully move, balance, turn, spin and jump.

Again, at the end of each lesson, we performed examples of our dance to each other.  The children were all fabulous at watching and giving feedback to each other… amazing work!

Our Netball superstars played amazingly during our West Hull league games this week! The team work, skills and determination was absolutely amazing. The games were hosted at Sirius, supported by the Y8 girls who gave up their time umpire the match. We played Bricknell and two Eastfield teams (plus a friendly at the end of the session) so went home happy but exhausted! We still have Adelaide to play and are looking forward to this match. We couldn’t have been more proud! Well done team 🙂

Comic Relief is always an exciting time, and for our Year 1 children, it’s a day filled with fun, laughter, and learning about the importance of kindness. This year, we celebrated with non-uniform, red noses and an unforgettable spoon race!

One of the highlights of the day was our special Red Nose and Spoon Race! Instead of the traditional egg-and-spoon game, we used red noses.

Laughter echoed across the playground as children carefully tiptoed, trying their hardest not to let their noses wobble off their spoons. Some dashed forward with determination, while others focused on slow and steady movements.

In the end, everyone was a winner because the race wasn’t about speed—it was about having fun, cheering on our friends, and embracing the Comic Relief spirit.

Year 1 are continuing to become champion dancers.

The children were all excited that our unit this term is super heroes.

After listening to some inspiring music and moving to the rhythm, we then used big movements to strike a superhero pose, all demonstrating great control and balance … look how amazing they are!

This term during PE Year 1 have been focussing on becoming champion dancers.

We learnt that champion dancers move with control, listen to the rhythm of the music, use their imagination and move using big, clear actions.

Our focus was growing, and each week we listened to music which inspired us to be flowers growing.

We started off using our bodies to be a tiny seed, slowly growing to the rhythm of the music into a beautiful flower – holding our pose as a balance then using a jump and turn with controlled movements.

Collectively, we made up a motif, which is a sequence of dance movements, to show a seed being planted and the rain and sun helping it to grow.

First, the children worked in pairs, carefully mirroring each other’s movements.

Then, working in groups, we took turns to perform to each other. Each group using moves we had created together, but also improvising with some new ones.

All the children thoroughly enjoyed this, taking great pride in their individual groups motif and showing respect for each others performance… amazing work, you are all champion dancers!

This afternoon was our first PE session of 2024 and saw Y4 throw themselves – in a control and purposeful way of course – into gymnastics! Our unit ‘bridges’ is about exploring different way we can create gymnastics poses using different points of our bodies on different apparatus. Today we did some group bridges which turned out great! Well done children.

Today we ended the Autumn term with our first ever Santa Run – and what fun it was! Thank you so much to parents who made a fantastic effort to dress up along with children and run the course around our school field. The funds we raised will be put to good use for new outdoor equipment. Merry Christmas!
