Sports Week 2024

Check out our action-packed Sports Week (3rd - 7th June) filled with adrenaline-pumping activities and incredible experiences! The sun was shining, and the vibes were high as we delved into a week of sporting fun like never before.

Monday kicked off with a mind-blowing VR experience where our students journeyed through the ancient and modern Olympic games like true champions! The excitement was palpable as the children immersed themselves in the virtual world of athleticism.

Tuesday was all about skills and thrills as we welcomed Rebaz, the Vice UK Champion and Guinness World Record Holder in Free Style Football. With his impressive resume boasting events like EURO 2020 and the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, Rebaz wowed us with his jaw-dropping moves and taught our classes some slick skills! We saw children attempting a range of tricks including round the world, the neymar flick and press up head stalls!

Sports Day on Wednesday was an absolute blast! From House Rounders to sprint races, our students showcased their sporting spirit, cheered each other on, and made us proud with their sportsmanship. A massive shoutout to all the parents who joined us to celebrate this special day.

Thursday brought the groove with breakdancing and beatboxing, setting the stage for some unique acrobatic dancing moves that might just make it to the Olympics one day! And today, we bounced into the weekend with 'Boogie Bounce', a high-energy dance workout on trampolines that had everyone jumping for joy.

Our students have truly shone this week, stepping out of their comfort zones, honing their talents, and working together like true sports stars. Who knew we had such a treasure trove of hidden talent? Keep up the fantastic work, team!

KS2 Spring House Matches 2024

While the weather was against us again, we managed to go ahead with the KS2 Spring House Matches. The children ploughed on through the rain to ensure they didn’t miss out, demonstrating fantastic collaboration and resilience.  All children represented their house in either Tag-Rugby or Netball and were able to demonstrate some of the skills they have learnt during their PE lessons with Mr Green in the Spring Term.

As this was their second event of the year, the House Captains and Sports Leaders were able to work independently, fully completing their roles without support from adults. We were so impressed to see them all scoring, refereeing, time-keeping, coaching and managing their teams.  Not only were they supportive but they demonstrated kindness and empathy towards the younger children too which created a wonderful atmosphere.

Tag Rugby

We played this as a mixed 6-a-side round robin tournament meaning each team played everyone. The tries scored are as follows:

KS2 Autumn House Matches 2023

Thankfully the weather was on our side and we were able to run the Autumn House Matches as planned. What a fabulous turn out from the parents. I was wonderful to see so many of you supporting the children. All KS2 children represented their house in either Hockey to Football and were able to demonstrate some of the skills they have learnt during their PE lessons with Mr Green in the Autumn Term. Well done to the Year 3s as this was their first round of House Matches and can be slightly intimidating but they all participated and got stuck in.

This was also the first opportunity of the year to fully utilise our new House Captains and Sports Leaders. The House Captains managed their teams and tried to keep them as even as possible. The Sports Leaders worked really hard, taking on many roles including: time keeping, scoring and referring the games. This really improved as the games went on.
