Congratulations to Year 5/6 pupils who represented our school at a rugby tournament today. They achieved the School Games value of determination after winning every game.

On Thursday 26th September our Well-being Group attended a Sport and Well-being Gala held by Brilliant Cumbria. They travelled to Workington RLFC where they took part in various different sporting activities like wrestling, softball, crazy catch, running and lots more! 

The children’s behaviour…

This term Year 6 have received football coaching with professional footballer Stuart Green. They have carried out various drills to practice key skills with ball control and played matches where they have applied these skills. 

Reception class really enjoyed their PE session this week. They practised keeping the balloon off the ground, this involved teamwork and some children got really creative and used different body parts to keep their balloon off the floor. Fun was had by all! 
 

Meet our new Sports Councillors for 2024 voted in by Y5. Their job is to attend School Council meetings and discuss how we can improve sports in our school. Their first tasks are to find out what sports equipment the children would like for playtimes so we can update it, what after school clubs…

In Multiskills Year 2 have been working on performing different types of jumps. As part of this, they have been learning to skip with a skipping rope. They showed great determination to try and master this with some children succeeding. It was a jumping success!

Year 5 have been learning how to do counter balances in gymnastics. They had to keep their bodies taut and lean away from each other whilst remaining in contact by means of a grip. We think they did really well! 
 

Year 2 thoroughly enjoyed their first Multiskills session with their new coach Liam. The session focused on changing speed and direction. The children showed determination and passion to complete all the activities to their best ability and had great fun while doing so.

Year 4 thoroughly enjoyed their PE session today with the parachute and lots of sunshine. 
 

We all had a great time spending time together exploring the fort at Lowther Castle on our end of year trip. We finished the day with ice lollies to cool off! 

A huge congratulations to our netball team who took part in a tournament at West Lakes Academy. They worked together as a team taking on board all the coaching skills they had learnt from our netball coach Mrs Parr and came 1st place overall scoring 41 goals! We are very proud of them!

We had a great day representing Copeland at the School Games in Carlisle playing tri-golf.
