Intra-sports across year groups is finally back, and boy, did we come back with a bang!

With Mrs Redmayne as official umpire, and Miss Parlane manning the V.A.R. cameras, Year 5 & 6 threw themselves (at times, quite literally) into the thick of 3 matches against the opposing school houses- Lune…

In PE on Mondays, we have been working on our OAA (Outdoor Adventurous Activities) skills! Following on from what we learned whilst in Lockerbie, we spent the session building trust and communication skills in small groups, as 1/3 were not allowed to see or speak, 1/3 were not allowed to see but…

This afternoon, Year 3 had a dodgeball coach come in to teach us how to play dodgeball. We then had a mini competition.
 

Year 6 have begun putting their playleader training into action this week, as they support the KS1 children during lunchtime play. They are leading games in the playleaders zone on the bottom playground.

Year 6 arrived at Lockerbie Manor this afternoon to begin their week of outdoor and adventurous activities. After settling into their dorms, they split into groups to enjoy various activities including the obstacle course, blind trail, zip wire and low ropes course. They also enjoyed their first…

We have been practicing our fine motor skills by making small peg pictures. 

We had a gloriously sunny day today for our Year 5 and 6 Sports Day at the field.  We held a variety of races: sprints, hurdles, egg and spoon and, of course, the infamous long-distance!  There was a fantastic atmosphere of excitement and competitiveness but we were most impressed by the way that…
