Congratulations to the Blue Team for winning Sports Day 2024. A huge well done to all the children who took part in our races. All the teams showed exceptional teamwork, determination and competitiveness! 

Reception and Nursery took part in Sports Day with luckily no rain! They all took part in a running, jumping, backwards, climbing through hoops and egg and spoon race.

Year 6 have been getting ready for Sports Day. There’s been lots of team planning and support. Which team will win the coveted trophy this Year? 
 

Year 5 have been swimming every afternoon this week at Copeland pool. They have all improved their swimming skills on this intense course. Today they learnt how to take off their pyjamas in the water and create a float for their life saving skills. 

Year 4 enjoyed their first squash lesson with Gavin. They practised keeping a close eye on the ball whilst manoeuvring around. I have to say Year 4 gave a very promising start - some of the children even progressed onto pancakes! 
 

Year 2 have spent time during their P.E. lessons lately working on their dribbling, stopping and passing of the ball. They have really improved over the weeks and are now able to dribble and pass the ball with increased accuracy. What a joy it has been to see them improve!
