Team CW's challenge this week to keep them fit and healthy for Feel Good Friday was to complete a circuit of the school field. 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.

In Team CB's PE sessions this week they have continued to refine their skills in both dance and games.
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. During 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.  Over the last few weeks in Team EO during their "Game" unit of learning the children have been working on developing their football skills. 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.  |
