Our Key Stage One Gymnastics teams have had a brilliant day today and Miss Haines and Mr Boston could not be more proud of how amazingly well they did at our Move More Key Steps Y1/2 competition.
The children have spent a long time practising a range of different skills which they used in a great floor routine. They have also loved learning to vault by doing a super run and a big powerful jump on a springboard.
There were a few nerves this morning, myself included, but the children were so brave and confident in performing their routines. They represented our school beautifully and it was lovely to see how respectful and sensible they were whilst having a great time. They especially loved having a play on the giant air track.
As it was a competition, the gymnasts are marked and scored individually. Their individual scores are then combined to give a team score. Medals are then given to both individuals and teams. The results were amazing!

KS1 did not want to miss out and we have recently had a permanent KS1 phonics and Maths orienteering course set up. Classes in KS1 are able to use this both in PE and during more active learning lessons across the curriculum.
