Today, the children in years 1 & 2 all received their first session of tennis coaching with Danny. We started off just practising our ball skills using throwing and catching and then moved onto using our rackets to balance the ball and controlling the ball. It was really fun to learn new skills but we need lots more practise. We showed determination and perseverance with our ball skills and we are all really looking forward to next week!! |
Hi Parents. Last week we had an internet safety day. We want to tell you about what we have been learning in e-saftey in school and how you can help at home. · E-safety is all about the 3 C’s – Content Conduct, Contact · Content- Is all about what you are looking at or playing online. If it is not age appropriate we could be breaking the law. We want you to keep an eye on what is age appropriate when we are on technology and what we are watching at the cinema. · If we say, “we want to watch this film but it’s a 15” we can watch it but we need your permission first. · Conduct- is all about how we are conducting ourselves online and how we are using technology. We make sure we do not tell anyone personal information. · We make sure that even when we are behind a screen, we show our values and think about others. · Contact- is all about not giving out personal information when we make contact online. We make sure we know who we are talking to online. If we do not know, we need to tell you so that you can check. · We want to talk to you about what we are doing on line and we want to get your permission for the things we do online. · At school we have all learnt a little rhyme to help us remember what we need to do online. “Before you tap and click, you must remember to think and TELL SOMEONE”. · We are always wary of advertising when we are online. · We have learnt that we need to ask parents’ permission if we want to buy something (even if we already know the password!!) By Cameron, Harry, Zac, Charlotte For more information on how to support your children to stay safe on the internet click here On Thursday 11th January some of the year 4’s and the year 3’s went to an athletics festival with many other schools. Some of the activities we took part in were 5 strides, long jump, javelin and side to side jumps.
We worked as a team on each of the activities and the running races were great. Mrs Gates won her race, Cameron and Zac won their race too and showed lots of values to win. We showed our values of perseverance, determination, friendship and teamwork. We all worked as a team on all of the activities. We also had lots of fun. Reported by Alfie, Year 4 On Thursday January 11th 2018 6 year 3’s and 6 year 4’s went to a sports festival on the bus with Mrs Gates and Mrs Shattock. At Bunyan’s Sports Centre in Bedford.
There were 11 other schools at the festival. When we got there we started eating our lunch for some energy, also to wait for the other schools to finish their festival. Then we started. We first went over to the 5 strides we all got really far. Afterwards we went over to the vertical jump, again we all did really well at it I think everyone tried their best on all the games. The next game was a bit of a challenge for me it was called chest push you had to throw with a 1kg ball so it made it harder then it could be. Next we moved over to the javelins. I wasn’t particularly looking forward to this one but when it came up to my turn, I surprised myself by getting quite far but not that far. All of it was fun but I hoped the rest of it was fun. After we moved over to the speed bounce. This one had to include focus and rhythm to keep you going nonstop. It was quite tricky, even Mrs Shattock found it tricky. Finally, we moved over to our last athletics activities which was long jump. I found out that it if you fall over then points were taken away. It did that but now I know not to get really far but jump in your reach. After we finished the athletics games, we went over to have a break before we started the running relay and hurdles games. In our break, the teenagers started to get the running relay equipment out. Before we started, they explained what we had to do. The first two people had to decide who would go first. The first person ran off the mat to do their laps with the stick in their hand. When they had completed their laps, they had to pass it over to the next person so they could do their laps. The last person had to finish by crossing the finish line. This was a problem because some boys went to the mat but didn’t cross the line so they had to run that again the girls. When we finished the relay races, we went straight on to the hurdles races. That’s what I was competing. We had another break after that because the teenagers had to put huddles out. When they finished, the man at the front explained what we had to do and then the first two people from a school went up to the mat and got ready. The whistle went and they were off. After everyone had completed their races it was the TEACHERS RACE!!!!!!When they said that, Mrs Gates was just like NO! so we choose Mrs Gates to run the race. And she won! Now it was time to calm down because it was time for the SCORES!!!!!!Each school was called to come over and sat in lines of girls and boys for each school. We came 4th. I think that means that we all worked as hard as we could have, showed the values teamwork, tolerance, sportsmanship, determination, co-operation and courage. So on the whole, everyone had fun and it’s not about winning but that we took part. Reported by Molly Smit
On Friday 9th February, the winter Olympics started in South Korea and we were lucky that Mrs Ambler organised a day for the whole school to learn more about the sports at the winter Olympics and the country of South Korea. There was a range of activities across the school including writing, art, maths and computing. We were excited to find out about the different sports and thought about what we would like to try.
Thank you to Mrs Ambler for organising such an exciting and interesting day. |
