The Rainbows could choose whether they would like to walk, jog, run, or do a selection of these. Some of the Rainbows wanted to complete another circuit after they finished so after a rest, those that wanted to, had another try.

When they all finished, they talked about how our body changes during and after exercise. The Rainbows know that our cheeks can go red and flushed, we can get a bit sweaty, it can be harder to breathe and our hearts beat faster  to help us pump blood and oxygen around our body. You can see them feeling their hearts beating faster in the photos below.

During their Dance sessions, they have been working on cheerleading. This week they were creating a short dance phrase based on the arm positions they have learned so far, along with various methods of moving about an open space and jumps. The class really enjoyed this unit of dance and have shown an excellent retention of the different positions.

​In their Games session, they have been applying the skills learned to engage in small active games of hockey where children have dribbled, passed and created opportunities to shoot using the hockey stick. ]]><![CDATA[Team JD Update]]>Mon, 17 Mar 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://www.wombwellparkstreet.co.uk/pe-blog/team-jd-update3347914During Spring 2 term, Team JD have been busy focusing on Athletics with our year 4's. Whilst year 5's are out swimming. 
Then as a whole class we have been learning Maori Haka Dance.

Maori meaning passion and pride- Traditionally, haka was a customary way to welcome visiting tribes, but it also served to invigorate warriors as they headed into battle. It was a show of physical prowess but also an embodiment of cultural pride, strength, and unity.
The All Blacks were the first to introduce the haka to the sport in 1888. When the New Zealand Native Football team (which included Māori players) toured the United Kingdom, they performed the haka before each game, sharing this piece of Māori culture with international audience
The All Blacks attempt to intimidate the opposition before the match begins. However, most teams accept that the haka is part of rugby's heritage and face up to the All Blacks during its performance, with both teams standing about 10 metres apart.

Year 4 - Athletics
During athletics they have focused on a range of different events that take place during athletics in the Olympics.
​They have practised relay racing with different groups of children, long jump, hurdles and timed some of our races to see if we could be our personal best.

​The children started the unit working with Miss Gledhill to complete the Personal Best Activity - children had to shoot a football in between a pair of cones as many times as they can within a minute.

With Mr Smith they practised controlling a football whilst dribbling it along a straight line and in different directions. They learnt to stop a football with control.

Here they are practising using the side of their foot to pass the ball ensuring they were looking at the target and using the sole of their foot to stop the ball.

In their Dance sessions, they are working on cheerleading this half term. The class thoroughly enjoyed their first session this week where they learned a series of arm positions and stances that are used in cheerleading. The class worked in pairs to create a short dance phrase featuring different positions that they held for a count of 8. 
​
In their Games session, the class have been exploring hockey in more detail this week and have been applying the skills they have learned over the course of the last Term to support them in controlling the ball and hockey stick. Well done Team CB! You have demonstrated great resilience across your sessions this week  - keep it up!]]><![CDATA[SportsCool Archery for KS2]]>Fri, 14 Feb 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://www.wombwellparkstreet.co.uk/pe-blog/sportscool-archery-for-ks2Our KS2 were very lucky to have SportsCool in this week to teach us Archery.

This week Rainbows (Team CW) had so much fun taking part in a new game; glow in the dark dodgeball! They had to listen very carefully to the instructions to learn the rules of the game and practice their communication skills to try and win! 

They practised throwing and tried to hit their target and practiced dodging out of the way. There were so many laughs and they all enjoyed themselves!

The Sunshines (Team EO) had to listen carefully to the rules of dodgeball and aim the ball at our opponents! This helped to develop our gross motor skills.  We had lots of fun!

Team CH had a fantastic experience today. We had so much fun learning the rules of dodgeball and developing our gross motor skills as we dodged, ducked, and dived our way to becoming star players!
]]><![CDATA[Attack and defend in Team CH]]>Fri, 07 Feb 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://www.wombwellparkstreet.co.uk/pe-blog/attack-and-defend-in-team-chToday in PE, Team CH focused on the skills of attacking and defending in a game. Their main objectives were to understand the roles of both attackers and defenders, and learn how to create and deny space on the field. Through a series of activities, they practiced dodging to create space and marking opponents to limit their movement, improving both our offensive and defensive strategies.
Team CH used a variety of equipment like cones, rugby balls, tag rugby belts, and large balls to make the games more dynamic and fun. The pupils demonstrated great effort in understanding the importance of possession, dodging, and marking, which will help in future games.
It was a great session where everyone showed improvement in their teamwork and tactical skills!
