A big well done!
Some of the children competed in a tennis competition yesterday and I am happy to say that the Year Four children came second in their group and the Year Five children came second out of a staggering five groups! The children played with great skill and were gracious runners-up to Talbot Primary. They are going through to another round where they will compete against more schools – fingers crossed for another excellent result!
Well done to Sami, Connor, Iona and Rishitha in Year Four.
Well done to Adam, Jatinder, Kiran and Cydnee in Year Five.
Tag rugby
For the next half term, Year 5 will be taking part in five weeks of tag rugby coaching on Monday afternoons. The programme has been set up by Leeds Carnegie and we are one of a small number of local schools selected to take part.
Please ensure children have their outdoor PE kit at school for these sessions.
Golf opportunities
Today Year 5 have taken part in a tri-golf session hosted by golf professional Paul O’Donnell.
The class were very enthusiastic and skillful and as a result Paul has invited all of Year 5 to take part in a free morning of golf at Cookridge Hall golf club 9am – 11am Tuesday 5 April in the Easter holidays.
A letter with more information will be sent out after the half term.
Every Child Matters Survey Preparation
This week, Year 5 have their pupil diary to complete prior to taking part in the ECM survey next Monday. By completing this diary, the more accurate the data will be in the survey.
The anonymous ECM survey gives our school information of how we can support the health and well-being of our pupils and will be used by other health professionals to bring about positive change in all areas of health.
Thank you for taking the time to complete the diary.
If you have any questions or concerns about the survey please come and see me.
Swimming videos
Even though the Year 5 swimming sessions have finished for this term, there are some great video clips on this website (http://www.swimming.org/swimfit/) to help with developing and/or improving technique for the different swimming strokes.
Take a look and try them out if you go swimming during the holiday.
