It's been a very difficult year for sport and P.E. with a lot of challenges. Along with lockdowns and isolations of bubbles we have not been able to have competitions between classes or against other schools.

So at P.B we have concentrated on fitness , personal challenges and learning new skills in small groups. Hopefully making P.E meaningful and most importantly fun!

Here are some of the great activities we've been busy with-

Want to have a go at home?

A full explanation of how to perform and measure each  test can be found in the document below-

Some of the new skills we've been having a go at!

We've also challenged ourselves to improve some old skills-

As you all know, the highlight of my school year is Sports Day and this year it cannot proceed as normal. However, we have created a virtual Sports Day and would love for you to get involved, 

Each day, there will be a video of an activity. If you complete the activity and send a photo or video to the Facebook page or email (princebishops@durhamlearning.net) you will earn 10 points for your team.

The winning house will be announced after all the activities have been completed. 

GOOD LUCK!!!

Mrs Jones and Year 6 

Hello again everyone,here are some more ideas for you try:

For all of those dancers out there, have a look at this weeks imoves activity -  https://imoves.com/home-learning/1545

The challenge is to create your own Samba routine.

So get dancing

Don't forget to keep practicing your cricket skills on the Chance to Shine website https://www.chancetoshine.org/staying-active-during-the-covid-19-outbreak?

This week's session will revisit the 'Skillful Scorer' theme and further develop your ball striking skills. 

 

Also have another look at Premier League Primary Stars

This week, Gabby Logan is  introducing a Try Your Best challenge where you need to learn a new active skill by practising for 5 minutes each day and tracking your daily progress.

Your skill can be anything from learning to juggle, throwing a ball into a basketball net backwards, skipping, or learning a new football trick!

If you have already done this from the challenge I set you a few weeks ago why not try a different skill?

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a lovely half term?

Hopefully you've been able to get outside and try out some of the ideas I've suggested.

If not, why don't you try this week, you could have a go at -

Cricket for Girls - it's on You tube and it's full of excellent ideas to improve your cricket skills.

Boys- if you don't like that idea don't forget  Chance to Shine where the focus this week is - Ferocious Fielder!

If cricket just isn't for you and you want to try something a bit different, have another look at -

imoves- https://imoves.com/home-learning - at the moment it is focusing on 3 main areas-

1. Fitness  -  strong core challenge

2. Mental well being -  wellness warrior

3.  Calming- breathing techniques

I hope you like some of these ideas ?

Still missing you all

Mrs Jones 

                                                                Hi everyone!

                 Just wanted to give you some more ideas to stay active!

Netball Players - try this website - www.gilbert-netball.com/collections/home-training

It give some great ideas for improving your throwing and catching skills.

For more general ideas try https://www.yourschoolgames.com/coronavirus-support/

The School Games Active Championships is a national activity campaign to help young people across the UK to #StayInWorkOut using the video-based platform powered by TopYa!. New challenges will be available every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to engage with.

Primary  children can join the School Games Active Championships at any time with free active challenges being set via videos within a designated School Games version of the TopYa! Active app. All they need to do is download the app, register as a player and type in the Invite Code 23880.

Children practise the challenges, then submit their best video using a mobile device to receive personal coaching feedback from the TopYa! team of experienced virtual coaches. Points are earned for each video submitted, leading to climbing leaderboards and winning prizes!

The TopYa! Active app is committed to online safety and meets rigorous COPPA and GDPR safeguarding standards. No one can communicate within the app. All children can do to communicate with one another is give each other a virtual ‘high-five’, which functions like a social media ‘like’.

Video content is suitable for young people of all ages and abilities, with regular submissions from National Governing Bodies of Sport.

Also a big thank -you and massive well done to the Y4 children who made the video of your throwing and catching skills.

I absolutely loved watching it but it did make me miss you all even more

Maybe some other year groups might take up the challenge and come up with their own P.E. skills video?

WELCOME BACK!

Hi everyone,I hope you've all been staying safe but also keeping active over the Easter holidays?

Over the next 3 weeks I would like you to think about a skill in P.E. you would like to get better at.

It could be:

- throwing and catching

-for the footballers - keepy-ups

- learning how to do a - forward roll/backward roll/cartwheel/handstand/headstand

- learning or creating a new dance (you could do your own version of Dancing in the House!)

- practicing for Sports day - you could be one of our next medal winners!

Whatever you choose I would like you to practice every day if you can and write down how you've been doing or take a photo or video of you doing it.

It would be lovely to see the results when we get back together.

I've also got a great website for all those cricket lovers out there-

  Chance to Shine - chancetoshine.org/staying-active-during-covid-19-outbreak?

It has some great ideas for practicing your catching,bowling and batting skills.

You never know, we might be back in time for the cricket season so get practicing please!

Don't worry if you don't have the correct equipment. It gives you ideas on what you can use from around the house.

Play leaders - why don't you try to teach a new skill to someone in your house?

I know how talented you all are!

It doesn't have to be a P.E. based skill. It could be anything really - cooking/playing a computer game etc.

The important thing is to use your leadership skills.

If you write down anything you've managed to do I'd love to read about it when we get back together

Missing you all so much

Mrs Jones

For their first task the children took part in the Sports Leaders UK Playmakers Award programme.          

The Playmakers Award does not consider a learners sporting ability but instead helps them develop leadership skills which they can use to lead others in sports activities. Playmakers that complete the Award must be able to communicate effectively, be organised, take responsibility and work with other people; all core skills which are important throughout life.

The children learnt different strategies to help them to understand how to lead others and will be encouraged to use these leadership skills in a whole host of different ways; from leading their peers and younger children within the organisation to supporting activities within the local community, both under direct supervision.

       All play leaders spent the day with Holly Robson (Sport England) who introduced new games and ideas to use to be a successful Play leader.

ANOTHER OLYMPIC VISITOR!

Yet ANOTHER Olympian came to talk to our children.This time it was swimmer  - CHRIS COOK - who really inspired the children for a whole day, working with every class to share his story of success and more importantly - the hard work it took to get there.

From this the children have been using some of his techniques to succeed. one of which involves each child thinking about their COMFORT ZONE in every lesson and trying to stretch themselves more and not give up.

It has given us all something to think about and work on...children and staff alike!

I know we were all totally inspired by his visit and look forward to his return in the Spring Term.

TAKE A LOOK AT HOW SOME OF OUR CHILDREN REACTED !

 Olympic Workout 

British Volleyball Olympians, Nathan French and Peter Bakare, visited our school for an Olympic Workout. The whole school completed the lung bursting exercises. We're raising money for sports equipment. The Northern Echo were so impressed with our efforts, we were in the newspaper too!

 Tag Rugby and Archery Festivals 

Well done to the Year 4 and 5 pupils who participated in the Tag Rugby and Archery Festivals. As always, our pupils represented the school with distinction. They had great fun too.

 Terrific Tennis Players 

Our Year 3 sports stars entered a tennis competition at Bishop Barrington. The pupils won seven of their eight matches. Overall, we finished 2nd out of the ten competing schools. Fantastic results! Well done Year 3!
