This half-term the whole school is learning invasion games in PE, starting with football. Children have learned fundamentals of attack, defence and using space that can be used in other invasion games like basketball, netball, handball and rugby. We had our first class football tournament of the year. All children participated brilliantly and all matches were closely contested. Ultimately the blue team emerged victorious and get to keep the trophy… Until next time!
Salhouse girls have been enjoying some extra football sessions during Wednesday lunch times with some expert coaching from some of the Norwich City players. They have been learning some new skills and thoroughly enjoying it!!
Year 4 and 5 from Herons and Grebes have been learning to play a mash-up of House of the Rising Sun and Amazing Grace inspired by this performance by the Blind Boys of Alabama.
In this video the children are practising reading tablature from the page to pluck the melody.Â

The unit this half term in PE is gymnastics; Children beginning by learning about points and patches on their body which they can use to balance on. They also learn various jumps and then move on to learning to perform different types of rolls including: pencil, egg, sideways tuck, sideways shoulder, teddy bear and forward and backwards. The children then work in pairs and small groups to build a sequence of balances, jumps and rolls which are linked with ways of moving. They build their confidence in order to perform these routines in front of others.Â
The children have begun to notice the different muscles being used in gymnastics in comparison to other sports they have participated in PE. Grebes observed there are a lot more core muscles being used!Â
Watch this space for some photos and videos of their successful final routines!!Â
Kingfishers have learnt about Viking shields and enjoyed designing and creating their own in preparation for our Viking day.
