In PE we loved playing Dinosaur stomp! We used our super listening skills to move and freeze. We chose different ways to move around the hall using all points of our body such as crawling, slithering, shuffling, stomping and running.

We have begun Gymnastics this half term and we have remembered a lot of the shapes that we made with our bodies from Reception. The children could show me a tuck, pike, straddle and star shape. We also recapped some more of the shapes that we may have forgotten about and used them in a sequence.

With Bee Active, we are focusing on balance and the importance of space. We know to find space we need to look with our heads up, scan the area and that we may need to change our direction. We practised balancing in lots of different fun games!

In PE this week we have been recapping the different movements we learnt last week. We took part in ‘Sticky kids - Let’s go walking’. We had to listen to the song and then move through walking, jogging, marching, galloping and on our tip-toes. The children loved this.

We then moved on to…

Today in PE We have used the bats, balls and cones, we moved slowly, then fast, we played the traffic light game, making sure we were always looking and listening.

This half term we have Yoga on a Monday. We have practiced lots of different jungle poses and have been building on creating a jungle story using them. We have perfected the parrot, tree and log pose! 

We had a super Sports Day with Reception!
We have been working so hard on our races and we were so happy to share these with our families. We all took part in different races and cheered our friends on when it was their turn. 
thank you so much for coming and sharing this with us. 

For our last Forest School session this academic year, we celebrated by enjoying a toasted marshmallow, more den building (this is our favourite activity), mud painting and chalking. The children truly do thrive in outdoor learning! 

This week during PE we have practised for our upcoming Sports Day! We have practised a sprint, sack races and an assault course. 

Today in PE the children have been looking at moving in different ways. We role played being an alien flying to the moon and explored how an alien could move. We moved as a slow alien, a wide alien, a tall alien and an energetic alien. We also recapped the shapes we learn in gymnastics last week…

This week we used our prior knowledge of ‘underarm throw’ to begin throwing and catching to friends. We recapped target throwing at the beginning of the lesson and most were ready to move on.

We learnt the importance of knowing our partner is ready to catch for their safety. Making eye contact,…

This week Y5 had a fantastic PE lesson, starting their forest schooling with Miss Barker! It’s truly a unique experience and the children loved getting the chance to learn how to tie knots and using this skill to make frames out of sticks. We can’t wait for the next lesson!
