After School Club - Multi-Sports REC/1/2

Fitness was the key word in Multi-sports this week and the children were all go, go, go! After warming up they were put into teams and ran some relay races, some children even had to have a breather, they were so puffed out! Then Mr Portway demonstrated how to use the fitness equipment and the children exercised on one machine at a time, moving round in a circuit, experiencing all of the different machines. Charlie Marshall asked Mr Portway "What part of your body does this machine do, your legs?" To which he replied "It's actually your hips Charlie!" 

Gymnastics club Yr Rec/1/2

This afternoon the gymnasts have been busy practising how to move around a variety of apparatus demonstrating  poise, strength and control. Miss Poulter set out a circuit which included hoops, benches, soft mats and tables of varying sizes and heights. The children showed great resilience as they sprinted to the highest table, then  placing their hands on the table they had to bring their legs up and land onto two feet. It was important that their jump to dismount was well controlled. 

After School Clubs - Comic Book Club Y3/4/5/6

This week in Comic Book Club, the children were creating advertisement posters for a super hero. They could either use the iPad to search and draw their choice of super hero or they could use their own imagination and create their own. They needed to think about the features of an advertisement poster and how to make it eye catching!

Creative colouring Yr 2/3/4

The levels of creativity were clearly evident this afternoon as Weronika and Martina explained. The children firstly chose part of an intricate pattern to colour taken from a colouring for grown-ups book. Following this they divided their paper into sections and designed their own pattern which they  carefully coloured, making sure to stay within the lines. Miss Estall set the challenge of using  only two colours which Ellie-Mae reflected was the most challenging as "using two colours was difficult because it meant spreading the colours out and making the different shades with them."

After Schools Club: What a job we've got!

Gardening Club, over the last three weeks, have been tackling the huge weed-takeover in the year group beds! What a battle it has been!

But the hard work will all be worthwhile when we start replanting. Well done, team!

After School Clubs -Sewing

The sewing club was a hive of activity this afternoon as the children worked together showing great reciprocity when making bags. Courtney reflected on how she enjoyed sewing the parts together but decided she would use stronger material for the handle next time.

After School Clubs-Cricket 5/6

Dynamic diving was evident in cricket club this week as they used the soft play equipment to practise their catching skills. The fantastic throwing by Miss Cook meant that the children needed to use, not only, great hand-eye coordination but also sharp agility when diving to catch the ball.
