Our Year 5/6 football team did us proud this week in the Cluster Tournament, finishing 3rd of 8 teams. The players will have a more detailed update coming just after half-term. The next event will be Cluster Cross Country so get training!
PE
Coots PE
We were very lucky to have the sun shining for our P.E. Lesson with Mr Ward this week. We were busy skipping and weaving in and out of poles.
Coots are getting excited for the half term holiday and we look forward to hearing everyone’s news when we return to school.
Invasion Games
Grebes have been working hard in PE, learning to use space more effectively on the football pitch.
Grebes Football Tournament
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 vs. Coltishall – The Rematch!
Salhouse Girls 2 – 2 Coltishall Girls
Salhouse Boys 1 – 0 Coltishall Boys
Year 3 and 4 Gymnastics Trip
Year 3 and 4 teamed up to visit Norwich Gymnastics Club and enjoy the chance to explore the wide range of equipment and to be taught by professional gymnastics coaches. The children split into five groups and got to experience five different areas of the gym: 1. floor, 2. balance beams, 3. high bars, 4. trampoline, 5. vaulting table. All of the areas and the activities led by the Gymnastics Club staff were designed to gradually increase the difficulty level, giving all children a challenge regardless of ability and experience. Children were all very positive about the experience and it was great at the end to hear so many asking if they could join the club. If you would like your child to join Norwich Gymnastics Club, visit their website here:Â https://www.norwichgymnasticsclub.co.uk/
Here were some of the children’s comments overheard:
“I am definitely signing up for gymnastics!”
“That was so scary but I’m proud of myself for doing it.”
“You have to be seriously strong to do gymnastics.”
“When are we coming back here?”
Curling Fun
The bad weather this week did not dampen our enthusiasm for PE as instead of being outside we got the opportunity to practice our curling skills. It was certainly much trickier than it looks. However, It was great fun working as a team to try and place our stones on the target, whilst also tactically knocking away our opposants stones. Adding our teams score together even provided cross-curricular links to our maths learning.
Bitterns PEÂ
This half term the Bitterns have been enjoying learning new basketball skills. We have been practicing our dribbling, catching and throwing. Fun games such as king/queen of the square have helped develop both our attacking and defending skills.
In PE Bitterns have been practicing using and finding space within games. We have enjoyed playing tag rugby and have practiced twisting and turning as we run to travel in different directions or pathways. We have also needed to alter our speed as we run in order defend the tags on our belts.
Salhouse Girls Football
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!!
