This year's Sports Councillors have been chosen to represent our school because they show a keen interest in PE and Sport. They are enthusiastic towards their learning in PE lessons and have shared ideas with their classmates about how to improve PE, Sport and active playtimes at Cuerden. 

Throughout the year, the children will attend regular meetings and will be involved in the organisation of many events, including Sports Day, the Big Pedal and other Outdoor Learning opportunities. 

Autumn Term

During our first meeting, the children discussed their roles and responsibilites as members of the Sports Council. Miss Chapman has asked the Sports Council to monitor playtimes and lunchtimes to see what games the children are playing and what equipment is being used.

Following on from their monitoring of playtimes and lunchtimes, the Sports Council have organised Playtime Leader training for children in Year 5 so that they can run active lunchtime clubs. 

Year 5 worked alongside Andy from the South Ribble Active Health Team to learn about the importance of being physically active and how to organise and lead games with children from across the school.

A big thank you and well done to everybody who has helped us to collect stickers for the Aldi 'Kits for School' campaign as have completed not one but two posters! We will be sending them off and are very excited to receive our new sports equipment kits.
