We have loved gymnastics club today! The children worked so hard to warm up their body and then learn new shapes using our core.

Ready position
Over the last two weeks, we have been working on our net and wall techniques. This has meant we have needed to be able to do the ready position in order to be able to pass and receive the ball over the net.
I have been so impressed with how well the children have improved their technique in just two weeks!
Scotty’s Heroes
This week’s session was enjoyed by all. The children started off playing games to get them warmed up which was evident when all their coats came off despite the cold weather.
They then had to work in pair to give each other instructions while one of them wore a blindfold. Have you ever tried walking in a straight line with your eyes closed? It’s not as easy as you’d think which was why clear communication between partners was vital.
Xp Outdoors
Well we couldn’t get into our forest area due to the rain but that didn’t stop us from getting outside. Crew Thompson enjoyed playing a game of basketball with the Crew Haddock.
Practicing our aim🏐
This afternoon Crew Thompson started dodgeball in PE. We focussed on developing our aim as this is a key component in a dodgeball game. We first had a hoop on the floor that we had to aim for. Then this progresses to picking the hoop up and moving it. We discussed how the throw would change depending on speed and distance. We can’t wait to keep developing our dodgeball skills and eventually play a huge game! 🏐
Football! ⚽
What a fantastic last football PE lesson we have had today. We have been able to put all our skills into practice and play some tournaments. It was great to see the children so involved with their learning and watch them try to implement their skills. We definitely have some football superstars in Crew Thompson.
Football Tournament
Massive well done to the children that attended the football tournament at Campsmount yesterday afternoon. Despite it pouring rain on us all afternoon, the children gave it 100% effort. Even though we didn’t win, we have discussed the importance of taking part and trying our best.
Cooking club 🧑🏼🍳🍩
Today was sadly our last cooking club, but we have ended with a delicious sounding recipe – jam donut muffins!! Hope you all enjoyed them!
PE – combination jumps
Today in PE we learnt a combination of jumps and did this to French skipping. It was a new skill and we did such a great job of it. Watch our videos!
PE
This week in PE we have been working on our fitness. There were four stations for the children to work in and they had a minute in each one. Lots of sweaty and exhausted children by the end of it.
