Lockdown Fitness Circuits

3rd February 2021a hayward

For one of our Mental Health Week activities in Year 5, we designed our own fitness circuits that can
be completed in our homes! We included equipment that you would find around a house such as
teddies and tins of food. To make sure they were suitable, we tried them out ourselves! We are
going to post some of these circuits online for the children at home to complete in their PE lesson on
Thursday. Some of the stations are very tiring and are definitely going to be a challenge!

Youth Sport Trust Online Club

17th November 2020a hayward
The Youth Sport Trust have launched a brand-new initiative. Until the 18th December, they are running a free 30-minute online club which is available for all children and young people to participate in some sport, develop skills and of course have fun!
The club will be held every day from 5pm and is accessed through a live video on their Youtube channel. The club will be led by Athlete Mentors with different backgrounds, abilities and from different sports.
Each session will have a specific theme based on the day which will be…
Adventure Monday – this might involve getting children to do floor, wall climbing and map reading all within their living room.
Tuesday Play – imaginative play utilising resources in the house to create games and activities to get active.
Wild Wednesday – some high tempo competitive activities involving personal challenges.
Thinking Thursday – introducing cognitive challenges for children through movement. Active noughts and crosses and introducing an element of competition – whether that be against themselves, the clock, their siblings or remotely with friends.
Fun Friday – a chance for children to let loose and have some fun. Dancing and doing what makes them feel good.
As you are aware, many children and young people are currently missing out on their usual sport clubs. This is a great opportunity for them to develop skills and learn something new.

We all enjoyed taking part in The Daily Mile!

Netball Report 13.2.2020

14th February 2020S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

Our Netball Team played in their first tournament yesterday at Temple Park. We won the first game against Ridgeway 7-0, lost the second game against Stanhope 1-0 and won the final game against Harton 2-0.

 

Those results meant we went through to the play-offs where we played against Lord Blyton. It was a very tight game: at full time we had drawn 2-2 and were given 2 minutes extra time. Unfortunately, they scored one more goal meaning the final score was 3-2 to Lord Blyton. We won’t be progressing to the finals but we played extremely well and Miss Archer was very impressed, as always, with our level of skill and determination. We will now be getting ready for the league matches.
