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!

 
Starting with a stretch.....

 
A little jog....


 
 
Marching... come on everyone!!
 
The step touch.. side to side... that's it you're doing well!!
 
 
Stepping forward with the arms crossed.....
 
 
The crowd gets stronger... that's it stretch everyone!!

 
And the V step!!!
 
Brilliant everyone... you've completed the workout! Don't forget to breathe!! Phew!
 



 
 
 

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!!
 
 
Now back to class... see you in the afternoon friends!
 
After the practice Reception all came back!!... it was time for the real thing. Thank you year 5 for showing us what to do!
 
 
 
Warming up first....
 
 
 
Getting excited!!!!
 
 
All set and in position.....
 
 
Off we go... obstacle course.......







The hurdles.....
 
 

Passing the baton now... come on!!


 
Yay!! A great win!!

One last race... The PARENTS!!!
 
Get set..... GO!!
 
 
The competition was fierce!!!
 
 

Fitness week.. and beyond!! PART ONE!

WOW! what a week! Action packed and lots of fun!

Let's begin with the year 4's.. incredible work everyone... you put your skills to the test!
Organisation, leadership, co-operation, collaboration, demonstrating, presentation, warming up and cooling down. The most beautiful part were the awards that you made yourself and gave to those who deserved them in your session. You've shown just how reliable and responsible you can be! I am truly proud of you all..! and I know that you are eager to do more.. so see you in year 5 for more action!

Year 2 wait patiently to play benchball.

The game gets underway...

Cooling down.
 
The rewards! Well done year 2!
 


Now for Effra who introduced us to Boules.....

 

First some information....
 
A Demonstration....
... and then out we go!!
 
Thank you to Miss Freezer and Mr Brunton, as well as Mrs Maida and Miss Farkas for your support. The children have done so well!!

The countdown to Fitness week... a brief behind the scenes.

June is here everyone... which means Fitness week and Sports day will soon be upon us!
This year, our year 4 students have been very busy creating activities to run. Their topic on Healthy bodies matches our Fitness week and Sports Days nicely.. so who better to get us going!  We are going to call the year 4 students our Fitness Friends, and each day one of the houses in each class will run an activity to get us fit and have lots of fun.
Year 4, I'm sure are going to be fantastic... looking forward to it!
