Skip2bfit
Each day, the children (each having their own skipping rope) skip for 2 minutes either in the hall or outside in the playground. Once a week, they skip in pairs to peer-assess their performance by counting and recording their scores. The children really enjoy their skipping, which gives them the opportunity to challenge themselves to beat their personal best. Effort and achievements are rewarded in our Friday Celebration Assembly.
The Beep Test
The Beep test is carried out 4 times a year in order to assess the children's fitness. As well as being a useful assessment tool, the children really enjoy the chance to push themselves to the limit so that they can beat their personal best - which they usually do!
The 30 Active Minutes
Through-out the school day, each class engages in '30 Active Minute' activities, which enables them to take a short, active break from their learning. These activities are designed to rejuvenate the children so that they are able to re-focus more positively on the learning in hand. They include an exciting mix of dance routines, times tables moves, playing a game of 'Simon Says', experiencing a Go-Pro virtual mountain bike trail plus beanbag games and laps of the playground circuit - the list is endless!
2023 - 2024
The children all took part in a Mini Marathon on Friday.
PE - Golf in the hall
In September, Year 6 enjoyed a golf session with an external coach. Even though it was raining and we had to relocate to the hall, everyone had a great time and improved their golfing skills.
2022-2023
Whole School Football Tournament - February 2023
To end the half term, Mr Freeman organised a whole-school football competition with a different year group competing each day. Each year group was split into 4 teams, each one being represented by both a girl's and a boy's team - names were chosen, specifically, to link with year group topics. Everyone had a wonderful time and a great big THANK YOU must go to Mr Freeman for all his efforts and slick organisation. Year 6 can be seen in action below.
Sportshall Athletics (Year 5/6) January 2023
On Tuesday 31st January, 17 pupils from Year 5 and 6 competed in an athletics competition at West Notts College. They competed against other local schools and the atmosphere was certainly tense! Mr Freeman and I were very impressed with the qualities on show: tremendous team spirit, encouragement, support, determination and, most importantly, respect for the other competitors. Special mention must be given to the boys who won every single one of their relay races - fantastic! It was an amazing afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone!
Our 'Active' Curriculum
English - Relative Clauses
In Year 5, we first of all played a throwing and catching game, whilst, simultaneously, building sentences that contained relative clauses. After that,we also played a 'Running Relay' Quiz in teams, which involved constructing sentences that contained embedded relative clauses.
English - Co-ordinating and Sub-ordinating Conjunctions
In Year 5, we reinforced the 'FANBOYS' co-ordinating conjunctions, by playing the 'Stand up, Sit down' game. Afterwards, working in groups, we sorted conjunctions into sub-ordinating or co-ordinating. It got very competitive as each group timed themselves, trying to beat their personal best.
PE - Body Combat Dancing
Year 4 enjoy their last dance session with Coach Clare.
English - Informal and Formal Language
Year 6 in action as they sort statements into personal and impersonal.
Newlands Mini Marathon October 2022
The whole school ran their very first sponsored mini marathon taking inspiration from the Great London Marathon over the weekend. All the children were super athletes, showing great resilience and sportsmanship. We hope to have raised lots of money for new PE equipment.
Sporting Memories and Achievements during 2021 - 2022
On Friday 12th November, Year 6 visited Mansfield Tennis Club as a 'grand finale' to our 6 weeks tennis unit, within school, taught by Gareth, a coach from the club. We extended our skills further and had a thoroughly enjoyable time playing on proper courts. We were lucky enough to meet Ben Bradley, who had come to take a look at the new facilities at the club.
