This week we took part in the Mini Marathon to raise money for the Children with Cancer UK charity.

The children did a 1 mile marathon and had a fabulous time.
Good luck Mr Morgan and the children running in London this weekend for the Marathon
This week in F2, we had an absolute blast doing Cosmic Yoga! The children loved going on silly, magical adventures and pretending to be everything from wiggly worms to twinkling stars.
We stretched, balanced, and took big deep breaths, all while having a giggle and using our imaginations to bring the stories to life. It was a lovely way to get our bodies moving.
The children really enjoyed slowing down and feeling calm. Yoga has definitely become one of our favourite ways to relax and play!
Who knew being calm could be this much fun?
The HUB 2 boys have been enjoying a range of activities with Brad and Callum from Tigers Trust during this Autumn Term’s P.E sessions.
We have been demonstrating the great ‘SPORTSPERSONSHIP’ values of RESPECT, TEAMWORK, RESILIENCE, PERSEVERANCE and TOLERANCE while participating in a range of games such as Bogey Tig, Stuck in the Mud, What Time is it Mr Wolf, Monkey-Ball Tig, Dodgeball and Penalty Shoot-out.
A HUGE THANK YOU to Brad and Callum for all your hard work this term!
Today’s balance bike session was full of festive fun as we transformed into speedy Christmas reindeers! With jingles in our imaginations and Christmas cheer in the air, the children hopped onto their bikes and got ready for a magical ride.
We set up a special festive course, with cones pretending to be Christmas trees, and the children zoomed, weaved and flew around them just like Santa’s team. There were giggles and lots of confident riding as our little reindeers dashed through the “forest.”

Year 5 had a very busy week completing Levels 1 & 2 of Bikeability!
Every child that took part managed to achieve something personal to them, whether that be sitting on a bike for the first time, riding one-handed whilst signalling, or overtaking parked cars on the road in a safe manner.
The children showed excellent listening skills and resilience. There was a lot of information to take in and remember but the children were absolute superstars and showed the instructors what it means to “Be The Best You Can Be!”.
Well done Year 5!
In PE, Year 3 have been playing “Cross the River” which is a cooperative game where teams use hoops to move everyone across a designated “river” (the MUGA) without touching the “water,” promoting problem-solving, teamwork, and gross motor skills by requiring players to strategically move hoops forward and only stand in these hoops, restarting if anyone falls in. We had to coordinate movements to pass hoops from back to front to keep the “raft” moving. We worked well as teams and quickly found how to communicate with each other.
In science we have been looking at the question: Which exercise will increase our heart rates the most. The children were able to choose three different exercises to compare. To keep it a fair test they decided that they should do each activity for 2 minutes before finding and recording their heat beat. In between each activity they let their heart beat get back to a resting beat before starting the next exercise to ensure fairness. We will be comparing our data next lesson and drawing a graph to show and evaluate our results.
Year 1 combined their dribbling, chest passing and receiving skills this week, whilst trying to avoid the defender cones. They are beginning to show more accuracy and developing better communication by listening to their team members.
As a treat at the end of our session, the children had a go at getting the ball through the net… some amazing focus and technique was demonstrated, great job!
In P.E this term, Year 3 have been Gymnasts performing a sequence of moves with a partner which includes symmetrical and asymmetrical balances using different apparatus. These balances have included using different levels and same level balances. In order to perfect the flow of our sequences of balances, we have practised and performed for our peers. After taking feedback on board, our sequences have been much improved and flowed better.
There was excitement on the playground this week when we launched our new play equipment for KS2. Children got to grips with their new materials aimed to encourage open-ended and imaginative play, while encouraging children to be physically active. Initially feedback is very positive and we hope to add more soon!
These Y3 boys make a car in our crate building area
Theo and Rocco made a Minecraft style person with the blocks
These children set themselves the challenge of making a shelter big enough for them to fit under – great work boys!
Our new steppers have been a hit !
