Sky Live Event for Sports Leaders

Our Sports Leaders had the opportunity to attend an exciting event which will help them develop their leadership and sport skills. They went to the Armitage centre along with children from other schools to take part in lots of different sports related sessions such as sport based activity sessions delivered by Athlete Mentors, volunteers from Sky and Young Leader Mentors, a healthy living session (where children learnt about healthy food choices based around the Change4Life programme) and also a session where an Athlete Mentor shared their sporting journey with the students.

The leaders learnt how to develop key life skills including:-

• Mental toughness - never giving up/facing a challenge/think you can
• Hunger to achieve - trying your very best/being determined/want to do it
• People skills - working in a team/working together/talking to each other
• Sports/Life knowledge - right and wrong/good and bad/knowing the rules
• Planning for success - thinking how to do something/working things out
• Breaking barriers - trying new things/trying harder/doing something different/doing something first

Our sports leaders now feel ready to go and help other children in our school become better at sports!

Football Tournament - Silver Medal Winners

On the 14th July our football team took part in a tournament at Manchester United's training ground.  They boys did amazingly well. They smashed the group stages by winning four out of their five games. One game they won 9-0 which was amazing!

They won the semi final 2-0 but unfortunately they lost the final 1-0. What a shame! We can see how disappointed the boys are in their photo - they really wanted to win!  Ms Hampson said that they had a great day and she could see how far they have come on just this year alone, all their hard work in football training has really paid off.

Well done boys - Silver Medal winners!

Kingsway Community Trust Olympics

Following our sports day, on Tuesday 12th July some of our best athletes in Key stage 1 were selected to take part in a competitive athletics event against children from Green End and Cringle Brook.

12 children competed in various different track and field events across the afternoon. It was a brilliant event where all children did extremely well and gave it their all!  Some of the children from our school were successful in winning their events. Congratulations to Tisa for winning the high jump and Callum and Jason for winning the speed bounce event!

Disability Sport Event

One of our pupils, Hamza, recently took part in the Disability Sport Event held at Sport City.

Hamza had a great time, taking part in wheelchair rugby, football, tennis and sitting volleyball. Hamza's favourite event was playing sitting volley ball as he got to meet new people and played a game with professional plays.

He also loved meeting up with pupils from Green End who also attended.
