Sports Week

In sports week we had a visitor in school today called Rebekah Green who is part of the GB Freestyle Kayaking Team. Crew Haddock got the opportunity to spend some time with her and did a few work outs. Here is how we did:

Becky Green – an inspiration!

What a fantastic way to kick start our sport week with a GB Freestyler Kayaker! Becky Green inspired children this morning with her passion for kayaking, at such a young age she has achieved so much! Our children practised some key skills and exercises to get their bodies moving.

Acro & cheer showcase

Today we had our final acro & cheer showcase of the year. It really put a smile on all of our faces seeing how far all of the children have come from attending lunch clubs this year. Well done everyone and thank you to Miss Ellie for facilitating it!

Y5/6 Cricket Tournament

On Wednesday it was a lovely afternoon to play a game of cricket! We thoroughly enjoyed playing and displayed great sportsmanship, as always, against the 5 other schools. Preston stood out and was my player of the match! We all definitely showcased skills learnt in PE lessons!

Some lovely moments captured…

“Team work makes the dream work” – Preston
“As long as we try our best” – Alicia

“Believe in yourself” – Jude

Thats it for another year of sports tournaments – go team Carcroft!

Athlete visit: Rebekah Green

We are excited to announce that this years athlete visiting school is Rebekah Green.

Rebekah has been kayaking for around 8 years, 4 of which have been in a playboat. Rebekah trains regularly at her local venue, Lee valley White Water Centre and also works at Above and Below Kayak retailer store on site

Until last year Rebekah had only ever competed in k1, but the opportunity of a new women’s category and the encouragement from team mates Ottie and Tamsyn inspired Rebekah to convert an old kayak into a c1.

Although this discipline ‘is challenging’ Rebekah has really enjoyed the process of progression, especially while training in the worlds feature at Holme Pierrepont.

Rebekah will be visiting school Monday 1st July!

Please bring sponsor forms in by Friday 28th June 10am, so it gives time to calculate the money and organise everything.
