Sports Week and Sports day

Children across the school, from Nursery to Year 6 all had the opportunity to show off their sporting abilities during our Sports Week. 

Children competed against each other in a range of sports such as javelin, egg and spoon race and sprints. Those in Year 1 to 6 then attended the Copper Box for a chance to compete for gold, silver and bronze medals for each event. Throughout the week and at the Copper Box, the children showed excellent sportsmanship, resilience and kindness - we were very proud! 

Our Sports Week was set up and run by Mr Forbes and our team of dedicated Sports Leaders - Teddy, Tommy, Mario, Emma, Marianne and Mimi. Thank you to this team for ensuring children across the school had a fantastic week! 

Summer 2 in PE

WELCOME ALL!!!!!!!!

This is the final half term and for this half term, we will be doing Cricket and Rounders.

All KS2 have shown great improvement within the 2 weeks so far in Cricket with a lot of children improving on their catching and fielding last week, I can't forget how the year 4s have done great partner work to help their teammates stance to be ready to catch.

The Year 6 have also been enjoying a week and a half at the London Aquatics Center, they have been learning how to be safe within water and how fun, exciting and how great it is for their physical development. They're last day will be this Friday 14th June.

Girls Football Festival Years 4 - 6

Our team of 10 girls took part in the Hackney Girls Football Festival. This was held at Hackney Marshes. There were over 150 girls across Hackney taking part! The girls across years 4 -6 competed in 4 matches.
Drawing one of their matches and coming close in the others, the girls all worked tremendously hard competing against girls who have played football for years. 
Well done girls!

Year 3/4 Girls Football Festival

Yesterday was a great day for football as the sun was shining with a cool breeze blowing, and a whiff of freshly cut grass brushing our noses. Jumpers and coats scattered around with packed lunches filled to the brim and over spilling. 100's of girls running around in their  colourful football kits with energy to last a lifetime. Nervously waiting for their turn to play, watching in awe as each team scored game changing goals.

The girls started off with low confidence and as they got into more games they started to become confident and adamant to win and ended up playing in the advanced matches and scored loads of goals. They successfully got 1 win 2 draws and only 1 loss.

One of the girls scored an  amazing goal and they had great determination as well as great sports person-ship

This week in PE
