3/4P have had a brilliant Sports Week! Miss Pepper has
been super impressed with their sportsmanship and
enthusiasm for joining in and trying new sports! 3/4P were
very lucky to have a dance coach, Rosie, lead a dance
workshop with the children. For many of them, this was
quite new and different to what they thought a dance
lesson would be! It was lovely to see the whole class joining
in and creating a sequence of movements to a piece of 5K
music. 3/4P very much enjoyed our mini Table Tennis

Year 6 Continued…
6G have really enjoyed sports week and we have all taken
part in lots of fun activities, both inside and out. We began
by taking part in a fitness challenge – we had to do a plank
hold, squat hold and burpees. It was a lot harder than it
looked! We also enjoyed playing table tennis in the hall,
pairing up for some doubles matches. Well done to Ellis and
