We carried on participating in activities surrounding Outdoor Adventurous Activities. We worked in teams to try and move multiple hoops from the ground to our knees without using our hands, focusing on our communication and team work skills. We then worked in different groups in a race. We had…

The children in Year 6 were invited to play in a handball tournament at a newly built facility at Manchester College. The children played games and worked on skills under the guidance of some college coaches, who were very impressed with our class! There were some fiercely fought games and…

Another super session of cycling today!  We had a fantastic time cycling in the sunshine; some of us who can't ride yet practised balancing with the balance bikes and some of us who are able to cycle, rode around on the pedal bikes.  Craig taught us how to use the brakes properly and how to ride…

In PE today, we learnt how important it is to listen to instructions. In groups of four, we followed some one, two, three and four step instructions, making sure we were listening and attempted to carry out the tasks. We found four step instructions quite hard as there was lots more to…

In PE, we have learning gymnastics skills. This week, with shapes we had learned in previous lessons, we started to create routines incorporating equipment such as the hoop. 

In EYFS, we can hire out our own bikes. We have to write our name/find our name on the sign out sheet so we know which number bike to use. When we return the bikes, we rub our name out/take our name off the sheet. This week, we enjoyed following the story map around the bike track, stopping off at…

'Superworm is super long! Superworm is super strong!'

We really enjoyed exploring this fantastic book! We made our own superworms and found things that were longer, shorter and the same length. We also looked at books about worms and had a Friday quiz to see how much information we had found…
