Reception PE - Rocking and Rolling
During today’s PE lesson, the children engaged in a sea-themed movement activity, demonstrating a variety of physical skills through imaginative play. At the start of the session, they identified different sea creatures using a resource card, confidently naming animals such as sharks, crabs, octopuses, fish, seahorses, and starfish. The children moved around the space, carefully navigating the gaps between mats while imitating the movements of different sea creatures. Most children confidently transitioned between actions, crawling like crabs, floating their arms like octopuses, and galloping like seahorses. When the teacher called out “shark,” the children quickly responded by tucking into a small shape, showing good listening skills. As the session progressed, they were challenged further by balancing on a mat when the teacher said, “watch out, shark!” Many children attempted this with enthusiasm, and some were able to maintain their balance for a few seconds. In the second part of the session, children worked in pairs to explore different rolling movements. They enjoyed pretending to be “rocking sea turtles,” hugging their knees and rocking side to side. Most were able to maintain their shape and some successfully progressed to rocking backward and sitting back up without using their hands. They then attempted “barrel rolls” like rolling turtles, following the demonstration from the video resource. A few children found it challenging to maintain the correct shape throughout, but with encouragement, many improved their coordination. The final activity focused on “rolling seals,” where children practised straight rolls. Some were able to keep their bodies in a tight shape, while others needed reminders to keep their legs together. To challenge themselves further, a few children attempted to roll while keeping a beanbag in place, which helped improve their body control.
Year 2 PE - Target Games - Aiming
Year 2 enhanced their aiming skills in PE this week during their target games unit. They explored techniques, focusing on precision and control, and demonstrated significant progress in their accuracy.
Pre-School -P.E- Roll And Control
In P.E., Preschool children have been developing their ball skills, focusing on controlling the ball when rolling and catching. They practiced receiving the ball with their hands and learning to absorb its force to prevent it from bouncing away. These activities help develop key skills such as hand-eye coordination, timing, and proper hand positioning. When throwing, children worked on propelling the ball through the air with accuracy and control. In the early years, the focus is on building these fundamental skills—rolling, throwing, and catching—which form the foundation for more advanced physical development.
Year 6 PE Teamwork
The children had to work as a team to get the ball from one end of the hall to the other without it touching the floor. The children used a ball and hockey stick.

Year 6 PE Teamwork
The children worked together as a team to move the ball from one end of the hall to the other without letting it touch the floor. They used a ball and a hockey stick, demonstrating teamwork, coordination, and communication. This activity encouraged turn-taking, problem-solving, and spatial awareness as they navigated the space while keeping control of the ball. The children showed great focus and cooperation, supporting each other to achieve their goal.
Reception - PE - Gymnastics
Today, the children participated in a physical activity session inspired by the theme of woodland animals. Using a variety of apparatus, they explored different ways to create shapes with their bodies while developing their balance, coordination, and strength. As they moved across the equipment, the children focused on squeezing their muscles to maintain their shapes, ensuring their arms and legs were straight when performing straight and star shapes. They confidently climbed, balanced, and jumped, demonstrating increasing control over their movements. Some children experimented with different shapes and actions, thinking creatively about how woodland animals might move through their environment. The session also encouraged important social skills, as the children took turns with their group, ensuring everyone had a chance to use the equipment safely. They showed growing confidence when using the apparatus, supporting and encouraging one another throughout the activity. Overall, this session provided an opportunity for the children to develop their physical skills while engaging their imagination and teamwork in a fun, active way.
Year 2 PE - Target Games
We have been practicing our underarm throwing skills this week in our Target Games lesson. Year 2 have also been amazing at teaching one another the correct technique to use for this throw! Well done.
Year 1 - P.E. - Target Skills
Year 1 enjoyed some target practice using a cone and a ball. They challenged themselves to hit the target 10 times and then make the task even harder by moving away from the target.
Year 4 - PE - Golf Skills
In their golf lessons, Year 4 have been learning good techniques for hitting the ball at a target in a controlled and safe way. Some of them can hit the ball a considerable distance!
