Y4 Swimming

By Mr S MORGAN20th May 2022

Today was Y4’s last day of swimming. They have had a tiring two weeks of swimming every afternoon but their efforts have paid off. They have made incredible progress and have approached their lessons with a fantastic attitude.

Well done Y4, we are very proud of you!

Working hard and having fun!

A huge thank you to our team of swim teachers for your expert coaching these last two weeks! 

Y4 PE Invasion Games – Hockey

By Mrs H HEBDEN14th March 2022

This week we were developing our passing skills. We could talk about long and short passes and when these could be used effectively. We knew that shorter passes may help us to retain possession and better control over the ball.

We then applied these passing skills to play mini games and to score within the endzones! The scores were high this week as we were counting in multiples of nine!

PE Scholarship: Tri-Golf!

By Mr S MORGAN10th March 2022

For the last two weeks, our scholarship group have been trying the fun, but technically tricky sport of Tri-Golf. In the first week children got to grip with the putters and chippers by practising their swings on different surfaces and experimenting with feet positions and stances to see what happened to the resulting putt or chip. Children then had a go at several different Tri-Golf festival games where they had to complete different challenges to score points. After trying this game mode out and seeing the types of equipment used, children then had an opportunity to create their own games for others to play. There were some fantastic challenges created!

Week 2 saw our scholarship group (plus some Y4s for good measure) put when they had learned into practice at the Hull Active Schools Tri-Golf Championships. This was timed competition where children competed in teams of ten, five boys and five girls, across ten different golf challenges, They had five minutes per station to score as many points as they can. When the results came in, our children were very please! In the 3/4 competition, out Y4 team came 3rd and in the Y5/6  competition, our Y5 team came 2nd and our Y6 team came first! These incredible results saw all children receive a medal and also qualify for the Active Humber county finals in June. A huge well done children!

Tri-Golf is fantastic for keeping fit as it requires constant running back and forth in order to have lots of goes in the allowed time. Children found it to be very tiring! 

Y6 Team First Place (L-R): Harley, Archie, Alex, Freddie, Lucas, Phoebe, Sapphire, Tuloula, Grace & Charlotte

Year 5 Second Place (L-R): Charnley, Jack, Ewan, Ethan, Evie, Lola, Issy & Harrie

Year 4 Third Place (L-R): George, Kian, Arthur, Bailey, Elsa, Lillie, Elissa, Lily and Lily-Mae

Thanks HAS for a fantastic afternoon! Our children were all happy to leave with a medal! 

 

The Circus

18th February 2022Olivia Mead

During our PE lessons over the past 4 weeks, the children of Y5MEA have taken part in a dance unit ‘The Circus’. Within this unit, we have focused on circus acts in the 1850s.

This week, the children worked in groups to create their own routine incorporating a ringmaster. The role of the ringmaster is to introduce the acts in a circus show and guide the audience through the experience, directing their attention to the various areas of the circus, helping to link the acts together. Whilst including a ringmaster, the children also had to become different acts of the circus, including: tightrope walker, strongman, freaks, juggler and acrobats. The children confidently performed their routines, putting their skills into practice.

Y5MEA are really enjoying their PE lessons!

Year 6 PE

By Mr J SUTTON17th February 2022

This term in Year 6, we have been looking at football and orienteering in PE. In orienteering, we have been warm up games such as compass shark attack and doing object coded courses. For example, in the object coded courses, we will get into teams and be given an object to touch each one of. In football, we have been looking at attacking, defending and using our team skills to discuss tactics. For example, one week we will do attacking skills, then we will do defending skills the next week. At the end of the unit, we will be competing in a tournament. Everyone is enjoying this new topic very much. Have an amazing half term.

Sincerely,

DL Team (Digital Leaders Team)

Y3 Yoga and Qigong

By Miss L STEWART10th February 2022

Alongside our Football focus in PE this term, we also had the fantastic opportunity to work with Liesel and practice the arts of Yoga and Qigong.  Both of these spiritual arts enabled us to focus on both our breathing and meditation techniques, as well as to develop a better understanding of our body posture and movement. From this we were able to learn beneficial relaxation strategies which promote healthy bodies and healthy minds that we can use in  every day life.  Miss Stewart and Mrs O’Loughlin also enjoyed these relaxation sessions so a HUGE ‘Thank -You!’ goes to Liesel!

Year 3 Invasion Games: Football

By Miss L STEWART2nd February 2022

During our Football sessions this term, the Year 3 children’s focus was to learn the skill of dribbling in order to keep control and possession of the ball. With the aim of controlling the ball better, the children built upon the skills of passing the ball with the inside of their foot, stopping and turning directions as well as dribbling with both feet.  From this, we then focussed our attention on defending whilst in possession of the ball so as to beat our attacking opponents. We certainly enjoyed our Football sessions and built not only upon our skills but on our teamwork strategies too!
