Next week Ladybarn will be celebrating National School Sport
Week and we will be taking part in a range of different activities to help
promote sport, encourage healthy lifestyles and get children moving as much as
possible.
Road to Rio!
This year the Olympics will take place in Rio, Brazil. To
help get the children thinking about the Olympics as well as encouraging them
to take part in as much physical activity as possible, we will be taking part
in the Road to Rio challenge. The challenge encourages children to virtually
travel the distance to Rio by logging physical activity.
Sport taster
sessions!
We want to encourage children to find a sport they love and
so next week we will be putting on different taster sessions of different activities
for children to try. On Tuesday morning EYFS will be doing a dance workshop. On
Wednesday morning KS1 will have gymnastic sessions led by one of Beth Tweddle’s
Olympic coaches. On Wednesday morning year 6 will take part in BMX taster
sessions. One Monday and Wednesday afternoon year 5 will take part in squash
sessions led by England squash. And, last but not least, year 3 and 4 will try
their hand at baseball on Thursday!
Wake Up, Shake up!
Every morning from 8.40-8.50 we will have a special Wake Up,
Shake up session taking place in the playground outside. Children and parents
are invited to come along to follow a simple exercise routine which will
energise us ready for the day!
Run a daily mile!
Every day children will have 10 minutes to try and run for a
mile… or more! Each class has a 10 minute slot to see how many times they can
run around the playground. Can the children get better as the week goes on?
Sports Day
Sports Day will be on Friday and you are invited to come
along to watch your child compete. This will take place on the field.
KS2- 9.15am- 10.45am
KS1- 10.45am- 12.00pm
EYFS- 2.00pm- 3.00pm
Forget driving, get
moving!
We would like to encourage children to be active on the way
to school too, so instead of driving, why not walk or cycle next week?
