We have been practising dribbling a ball in PE today. We worked in teams to bounce on the spot and move with the ball. We will use these skills when we play some invasion games.

Today we have used our new badminton nets in PE. We have practised serving the shuttlecock and worked on keeping a rally going with our partner for as long as possible.

This morning, Year 6 had their first taste of badminton. We learnt how to hold the racket, the ready position and then attempted to hit the shuttlecock and return it to our partners! We worked really well together in pairs.

Some girls from Year 6 and Year 5 enjoyed an afternoon of sunshine at Lancaster and Morecambe College, taking part in the Girls Football tournament. Our team did really well, winning their pool then progressing to the semi-finals. We ended up in 4th place overall, out of 15 teams. An amazing…

Today, Lancaster Bulldogs came into school to give us the opportunity to play wheelchair basketball. It was much harder than it looked but we persevered and we even scored lots of goals.

At the start of a very busy day, Year 6 enjoyed a session of wheelchair basketball. 

Two teams of Year 6 netballers went to Moorside School this afternoon to take part in the inter-schools netball tournament. We came second and fifth, but most importantly we showed great teamwork, resilience and sportsmanship.
