Sports Week 2026

13th July 2026

Last week, the school celebrated a whole week of sport, welcoming expert coaches from a diverse range of activities, ontop of our busy PE lessons! 

The week kicked off with a fantastic session on our school field, as each class enjoyed an hour of archery and axe throwing! 

During the archery session, the children practised loading bows and carefully aimed for the gold.  In the axe throwing activity, the children had the opportunity to throw both axes and shooting stars, which proved to be a little easier to score with! 

A few days later, Lizzie and Holly from Dancefestgave every class the chance to dance!  They worked alongside the children to choreograph short routines, which when put together, resulted in some marvellous moves. 

Reception returned to prehistoric times to dance like dinosaurs, whilst Year 1 used their performance to tell fairy tales.  There was a whole zoo full of animals in Year 2’s routine and Year 3 became Romans (with lots of rhythm)! 

Not only were the workshops a great opportunity to work on the moves in the dances, but the children also worked busily together in partnership with their friends, supported each other and ended each session with a real sense of achievement.  It was a terrific example of how sport – in this case, dance – offers so many benefits to everyone who joins in.
