Children really enjoyed learning about the impotance of an active lifestyle, a healthy heart and diet. The Newcastle Eagles players also played lots of fun basketball related games.
Year 5 are preparing to take part in the ‘Hoops 4 Health’ Basketball Tournament in February. Today they had their first session with Shaun and it was fantastic. They played lots of games to develop their understanding of dribbling, passing, marking and interception. Their skill level is great!
We are proud to have launched Primary Leaders in association with Sports Leaders UK. Twenty children were chosen from years 4,5 and 6 who have shown an excellent attitude and commitment to want to run and organise activities during and after school.
After their six week training children are now running Energy Clubs during lunchtimes and after school with Year 1 and 2 children. Children can earn different levels of leadership award starting with Playmaker, Bronze, Silver, Gold and then Outstanding. Children are reponsible for choosing their activities and running them.

Year have been learning about basketball in PE. They have been developing their interception and passing skills. These skills have then been used in intra-class competitions. Year 5 are very competitive this year!
All parents have been emailed our enrichment clubs for Autumn 1. Enrolment starts on Monday 10th September and closes Wednesday 13th September.
We have the exciting opportunity for parents to take part in the NUFC Family Learning Programme for six weeks. Children will also have the opportunity to take part in other enrichment activities during lunchtimes.
Year 4 enjoyed taking part in the first heat of the North Tyneside Skipping Festival. They have trained really hard in preparation for the event and created an outstanding skip dance. All children have developed their skipping skills and should be very proud of themselves for winning the first heat. They will now go to the finals on 10th July.
Reception have enjoyed PE playing ponds and frogs activities developing our problems solving skills, spatial awareness and ball control skills.
Looking forward to our next four weeks.
