A letter to all our children working at home...

Hello to all our ‘Working from Home Learners’,

Next week is when we were supposed to be holding our Sports Morning for Early Years and our Sports Afternoon for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. During next week, I would like all of you children at home to complete a set of challenges. It would be amazing if you could then send me any videos and photos to share on the PE page and your results.

If you are in Year 2, 3, 4 or 5 and are coming into school for our Outdoor Learning session, then you will complete these in school next week.

There are 6 challenges for all the children to complete. The ‘at home’ version of activities can be seen below:

• Not quite an egg and spoon race - How many laps of a 5m area can you do in 1 minute without dropping the object on your spoon?
• How many times can you bounce a ball of socks on a frying pan before it falls off? 
• Speedbounce over a rolled up towel - How many times can you jump over the towel in 20 seconds (Foundation Stage), 30 seconds (KS1), 40 seconds (KS2)?
• 5m Shuttle Run - using people/garden chairs/gnomes/tins/etc. as your markers. - How long does it take you to run 50m/10 laps (Key Stage 2), 30m/6 laps (Key Stage 1), 20m/4 laps (Foundation Stage)?
• Throw and clap - How many times can you clap between throwing a sock ball and catching it again?
• Target Throw - How many times can you throw a sock ball into a saucepan or a scrunched up piece of paper into a cup in 1 minute?

I would like you to compete in your house teams, like we usually do, so please can I ask that you wear your house colour when completing the challenges. Alternatively, you could decorate your old plain white PE t-shirt with your house colours in preparation for that day. 

There will be a video uploaded on Monday morning to demonstrate all of the challenges, whether you are at school or home. I will collect all the results from school and join this with the results from home and then we will have some rewards during the following week. Good luck everyone! We can’t wait to see all of your challenges.

There are 6 challenges for all the children to complete. The ‘at home’ version of activities can be seen below:

• Egg and spoon race - How many laps of a 5m area can you do in 1 minute without dropping the egg?
• How many times can you bounce a ball (Key Stage 2) or beanbag (Key Stage 1 and Foundation Stage) on a tennis racket before it falls off?

Alternatively, you could decorate your old plain white PE t-shirt with your house colours at home in preparation for that day.

KS2 Gymnastics

Foundation Competition

On the morning of Wednesday 29th January, nine children from Key Stage 2 represented the school in the KS2 Foundation Gymnastics competition at Dearne Valley Leisure Centre. The children worked as a Year 3/4 team and a Year 5/6 team. Both teams had to complete a floor routine and a vault routine. These can be seen below. They did an absolutely fantastic job and improved so much from last year. Out of the 16 teams who competed in each element - both teams finished 6th in their age bracket. A brilliant improvement on last year's results.

Advanced Competition

On the afternoon of Wednesday 29th January, ten children from Key Stage 2 represented the school in the KS2 Advanced Gymnastics competition at Dearne Valley Leisure Centre. The children worked as a Year 3/4 team and a Year 5/6 team. Both teams had to complete a floor routine and a vault routine. These can be seen below. They did an amazing job and matched the efforts made by the teams last year. Out of the four teams who competed our Year 3/4 team came 4th in a very close contest and out of the five teams who competed our Year 5/6 team came 2nd meaning they qualify for the South Yorkshire finals in March.

Congratulations to all the teams!

Year 5/6 Indoor Athletics Competition

Dearne Valley Leisure Centre

Thursday 23rd January 2020

On Thursday afternoon, eighteen children from Year 5/6 represented the school in the Doncaster School Games Indoor Athletics competition at Dearne Valley Leisure Centre. The children competed in 2 track events and 1 field event each. The track events were sprints, hurdles, obstacle races, long distance and relays. The field events were target throw, seated throw, standing long jump, speedbounce and chest push. 

There were 11 teams competing in total, with only 3 teams qualifying for the finals so it was a tough competition. We were in a heat against the current Doncaster champions. Individually, we won some races in our heat but until all results were in we had no way of knowing where we would finish. We are yet to find out where we finished but we did not qualify for the Doncaster finals this time. Well done to all the children for trying their best.

Key Stage 2 Cross Country Competition - Thursday 10th October 2019

Keepmoat Stadium

Twenty children from across Key Stage 2 represented the school in the Doncaster School Games Cross Country competition at the Keepmoat Stadium. The children competed in the following categories:

• Year 3/4 Girls
• Year 3/4 Boys
• Year 5/6 Girls
• Year 5/6 Boys

The children raced against almost 140 children. The children raced independently but their scores were combined to make a team total. Where they finished in their race was their score and the lowest overall score won. Each team had 4/5 children in. The results are below:

Year 3/4 Girls

Joint 10th out of 29 teams. 

Year 3/4 Boys

11th out of 31 teams. 

Year 5/6 Boys

15th out of 33 teams.

Year 5/6 Girls

6th out of 32 teams. 

The top 5 teams qualified for the South Yorkshire finals so the Year 5/6 girls just missed out of qualification. All the children ran to the best of their ability and we were all so proud of their ambition and perseverance throughout our first Cross Country competition.
