Fitness week... there's more!

As part of Fitness Week we have our daily Wake up, Shake up!
Every week, year 4 have been learning a routine with me, so that if they needed it, they could use it in their sessions... we had lots of fun doing our routine with the parents and other children in the school..We are now thinking about having a "Fitness on Fridays" session....mmmm we shall see!

Fitness week.. and beyond! Part 2

We saw that during Fitness Week, year  4 ran lots of great activities for us all in Reception, Year 1,  Year 2 and Year 3. We also had a "back up" team who also helped behind the scenes. I am excited and very happy to say year 5 and 6 helped to make Reception's Sports Day run nice and smoothly.

In the morning, I set up the events for Reception... then 5W and 5B helped me collect the Reception classes, RN, RDW and RL to have a little practice! This is how it went....

each "big friend" matched themselves to a "little friend" and coached them around the course...

Some of the friends turned out to be our little sister!!

Steady with the "egg and spooon"!!!

Getting the skipping right.....

 

 

Come on you can do it.. just watch me!

 

 

Explaining about the baton....

 

 

And demonstrating the obstacle course.... phew!!
