What a fantastic achievement from our athletics team today 😆I would like to thank all the kids for their amazing hard work over the year in order to win the heptathlon 💪🏻also a big thank you to @ActiveSchoolsIC for another great event ☀️
This week we started our playground activities led by our p6 playground leaders. They led fun and engaging games and they maintained the attention of the younger children so well 💜@ASP180
Today we welcomed back our problem solving groups - todays task was to travel with eyes closed and listen to our partners instructions to try and avoid the obstacles as well as picking up the golden rings with the trail 😀@ASP180
Another amazing year spent training this wonderful team who today managed to achieve 2nd place and the giant heptathlon 🥈💪🏻 their efforts over the year have really paid off and their attitude and behaviour on the day were outstanding, well done to you all 💜@ASP180
Could not be prouder of this lot today as they absolutely smashed the tournament today winning 7 games and drawing 1, whilst keeping 7 clean sheets💜 lots to be proud of for the group and it was great that so many of our parents were watching on at the sides @ASP180
Problem solving tasks - some great strategies to the games on display from these two P7 boys as they were tasked with gathering equipment without physically touching any of it 😎@ASP180
It was lovely to welcome the nursery children that will be attending our school next year into the gym hall for a fantastic sports session lead by our wonderful primary 6 pupils. A great opportunity for them so meet their buddies for next year😊💜@ASP180
Total wipeout - players try to steal cones from the middle without being hit by the tied bibs. If caught the players place their cone back down, whatever team has the most cones at the end is the winner 😆
Great work on Friday from these children taking on some problem solving tasks. Also amazing teamwork and discussions around solutions to the tasks. @ASP180
Some great sports leaders sessions going on in our school over the last couple of weeks, it has been great to see so many good ideas bringing smiles to children’s faces 😊💜@ASP180
Balloons are a great tool to make racket skills a little easier. They are also great for creating some new games, here are some games children came up with today 😆🎈@ASP180
Birdie in the nest - players pair up and stand on opposite sides of the hall to one another. They take shots to get the shuttle into their own hoop. If successful they move up to the next stage. The aim is for the first pair to get their hoops to meet as they get closer together.
Shuttle balance - players try and keep their shuttle balanced on their rackets whilst moving around and trying to knock off other shuttles with the opposite hand. If knocked off players can do an exercise chosen 🏸
Cat & mouse tag - the cat chases the mouse around the box and is not allowed to run threw it. If caught then players change their roles. To make it more sport specific you could add in basketball or football to focus on the dribbling under pressure aspect.
Basketball kerby - children play against a partner and they both have a hoop in front of them. The aim is to throw the ball to hit the rim of the hoop rather than trying to get it inside the hoop. Players cannot block each other throws🏀@ASP180
