Looks like it's going to be another busy sporting year! The calendar is up.... time to get ready!

The first Yr 5 lunchtime table tennis club was a huge success, and we look forward to seeing the progress you make over the year.

It's always a shame when the 🌨🌨 comes & you have to go inside. 😥 However, when the children challenge themselves and work hard to achieve, it makes things a little brighter!🌞🌞

There can't be any water left- rain, rain go away! When you have to have P.E inside, make it as fun and active as you can! Speed, agility and throw! "Best lesson ever!" Yr 4 child.

In between the showers, we practised our sprinting. We even got to see a rainbow! 🌈
