Active Week - Monday 8th June - Friday 12th June

Active Week

Active Week is a whole school activity where the emphasis is on being more active through a range of physical activities which are cross curricular with other subject areas.

Monday - 8th June

Years 3, 4 and 5 took part in a Skipping Workshop where they learnt co-ordination and different routines using a skipping rope. They had to work as individuals and in pairs.




Mr Tredoux's Maths group (Year 6) did an activity in the form of an orienteering session, where they had to work in groups solving word problems at different stations around the school field.

Tuesday - 9th June

All year groups were very busy taking part in physical activities throughout the school which included curcuit training and team games.

Mr Tredoux took 10 boys to take part in the Redbridge cricket tournament. They won 3 of the 4 matches they played. Everyone had a very enjoyable afternoon.


Wednesday - 10th June

Today we held a whole school fund raising event called Speed Mark. The children were sponsered for breaking the speed barrier with their immense goal shooting abilities. Each child had three attempts to see how fast they could kick the ball into the goal. Their speeds were electronically recorded and the fastest boy and girl in each class received a medal. The funds from this event will be used to purchase new sporting equipment for the school. Mr Tredoux would like to thank everyone who contributed to this cause. The children thoroughly enjoyed this activity.


The Year 4 children took part in an active afternoon. They played a variety of games including parachute games.


Thursday 11th and Friday 12th June

One Thursday Year 5 went over to the Redbridge Sports Centre for a whole day of activities, which included football, hockey, basketball, street dance, tennis and squash.

On Friday the Year 6 children also went to the Redbridge Sports Centre where the took part in a range of activities.

It was a very enjoyable day. The children took part in activities that they do not usually have the opportunity to try. Both year groups received positive feedback from the Centre on their behaviour and the way they worked co-operatively within their groups.
