In day 1 of Sports Week, Year 1 and Year 2 took part in Future Stars. They completed in lots of multiskills activities to test their throwing, jumping, running, co-oridination and balance. We were so impressed with the teamwork from everyone and how supportive they were of their team mates.

1st place - Great Britain 58 points

Joint 2nd place - China and Brazil 55 points

3rd place - Argentina 54 points

4th place Portugal 53 points

Year 1 have been impressing both Miss Mainprize and Mrs Hallam with their work on money. We spotted different types of coins and even visited the Year 1 shop. 

Year 1 have been loving their Martial Arts lessons. They have been learning different punches and kicks and even got the chance to use the pads this week to help perfect their skills. 

To start our new topic, we played with lots of different toys from the past to try to work out what they were and how to use them. We noticed that most of them were made of wood but were shocked to find that some are still similar to ones we play with today. 

Year 1 took part in the Challenge Me event where they had to try and hold an arabesque balance for 10 seconds on each leg. They then had a go creating their own balances which are very impressive! Well done to everyone who took part. 

Year 6 had a fantastic day at the Anderton Centre. 

The warrior group with Mrs Parker displayed amazing archery, climbing and kayak skills. What a day. Totally exhausted, but we've had so much fun. 

What a day! We have had an amazing time. From climbing trees and archery this morning and then on to kayaking and paddle boarding. I am so proud of your resilience and teamwork today! 

Year 5 got off to a fabulous start with their benchball competition first thing this morning. Here are the results

Great Britain 4

We're looking forward to our athletics and football competition later on in the week. 

We are on the coach on the way to The Anderson Centre.

Lots of excited faces first thing this morning.
