Autumn Term

Football

This half term children in Year 5 and 6 have been enjoying football club after school with Matt from South Ribble Sports Development. This after school club has introduced a range of essential techniques including dribbling, passing and receiving and running with the ball. The children have also been provided with the rules that are needed to play football.

Playtime Leaders who run the Change for Life Lunchtime Club

At the end of September our new Playtime Leaders were appointed. A big well done to Amy, Tegan, Alannah and Bartek from Year 5! On Tuesday 8th October these children visited Wellfield High School to participate in a training event. They worked well alongside children from other local schools to learn a variety of games. The children will then work with the welfare staff to organise activities at lunchtimes to encourage other children to be active.

Cheerleading

Children in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 have had an absolutely fabulous time over the last 5 weeks working with Danielle from South Ribble Sports Development to put together a cheerleading routine. 

In the last week of the club several members of staff watched their final performance and couldn't believe all of the stunts and dance moves that the children had learnt. Super work everybody!
