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.

Fitness!
In PE, we started our new unit fitness. Our aim was to understand how balance helps us in everyday life. To warm up, we played snakes and tunnels. When I shouted “snakes” we wiggled the ropes low to the ground. The children had to jump over the ropes. When I shouted “tunnels” we lifted the ropes up high. Children had to duck underneath the ropes. We then moved onto skills development and looked at balance in everyday life. In groups of 3, we had to complete an activity for 2 minutes and then swap over. The activities were skipping, lifting a hoop above our heads and then back to the floor, and stand on 1 foot whilst balancing a beanbag on our heads. We then looked at better balancing, and completed a range of activities. The first activity was standing in a line and standing on one foot. We passed the beanbag down the line and then hopped to join the end. We then had to reach the other side by lifting the hoop over their teammates head and placing it infront of them. They then had to jump back into the hoop. As part of the plenary, we discussed how we use balance in everyday life.
Crew MW – PE
In PE this week, we started looking at fundamentals, starting with balancing. We imagined we were tightrope walkers at the circus and began by practising walking in a straight line with our arms outstretched to the side. We then used a balance beam to walk across, concentrating on how we could stay balanced. Some of us were a little apprehensive about this beforehand, but as a crew we encouraged everyone to have a go and we were all successful!
