Sports Expo

Today we had our annual Sports Expo. This is a wonderful chance for us to learn about new sports that we may not have tried before or practise new skills in sports we’ve played.

Our stations were:

  • athletics – relays, shot put, hurdles, ball skills.
  • basketball – played a game of golden child.
  • wheelie sports – learning how people use a wheelchair and why they might need a wheelchair.
  • gymnastics – lots of stations with a different focus: climbing, balancing, swinging, rolling, flipping, jumping, bouncing, crawling…the list goes on.
  • cricket – ball skills like throwing, catching and playing as a team.
  • air gym – lots of different bouncing skills and making shapes with our bodies.
  • soccer – skills like kicking, passing and team games.

We’d like to say a huge thank you to Mrs Pettman for organising the whole day – we had so much fun learning lots of new skills.

Sports Expo

On Thursday we braved the heat to participate in our annual Sports Expo. We had a great day – as usual! We loved joining in with the different sports clinics and learned lots of new skills.

The sports we played were:

  • soccer
  • hockey
  • gymnastics
  • yoga
  • wheelie sports
  • cricket

We’d never played some of these sports before and this was a great chance to see what they were like. Not only did we need to learn the different sports and the skills needed to play a game but we had a strong focus on being a good sport too.

We’d like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to Mrs Pettman, our PE teacher, who co-ordinated the entire day. She had to make some last minute changes due to the heat and baseball being cancelled. We’re going to catch that session up in a couple of weeks.
