done to Daly Olthoff for making the year 6 and Copper Borneman, Conor Kirby and Finn Trumbull for making the year

MS HYATT’S CLASS JUMPING OUT OF THEIR SKINS!
Great to see Ms Hyatt’s class taking a leap of health and getting active with skipping ropes. There’s probably no
better way to increase coordination and movement through jump rope activities. So good to see children!

ALDGATE FENCING
Our inaugural fencing team last week received their fencing kits and don’t they look the part. They are starting to get
the moves too!

SEESAW NOTIFICATIONS
Unfortunately, a few of our sports enquiries on Seesaw haven’t been identified due to staff members not receiving
notifications from the platform. If you do have any queries regarding school sport and you haven’t received an answer
through Seesaw within 24 hours – can you please ring the school and leave a message at the front office so that we
can get back to you regarding your query.

ALDGATE VIRTUAL CROSS COUNTRY
Our Virtual Cross Country was another outstanding success in 2021. Congratulations to all of our children who
demonstrated resilience and pushed themselves over the long distance race during our PE sessions last week. We had
many great individual achievements and it was very satisfying to see our children trying their hardest. We had many
children run more than they were required, completing the requirements of the next category up. Certificates for each
participant will be distributed towards the end of the term. Thank you children for committing yourselves to our PE
program at Aldgate Primary School and giving endurance running a go – it’s not that bad after all and we have some
outstanding runners waiting in the wings in our young age groups. Our Yr 6/7 classes are yet to run and they will catch
up with the rest of the school in the coming weeks. Children ran in these categories:
Year of Birth Distance                   Year of Birth Distance                  Year of Birth Distance
2016             500 metres              2015            750 metres              2014             1000 metres
2013             1500 metres             2012            1500 metres             2011             2000 metres
