Our other pupil to attend –Maisie Jones – had been shortlisted from a large number of Y6 Young leaders.

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
