Monday.
Sports week has started. Thanks to Ninja Warrior Kids obstacles fun fitness for starting the fun! We’ve got Bikeability with Chorley School Sports Partnership orienteering, skipping, break dancing, football with Blackburn rovers martial arts and muga miles all happening today!!
Class 6 loved the Ninja Warrior! It was tricky and it was challenging but the children all got round the course. Then Ninja Warrior champion Johnny set a challenge giving us our Class 6 Ninja Warrior!
What a great day for class 11. Ninja warrior, Blackburn Rovers dodgeball, Martial arts and a visit from a BMX world champion! What an active day!!
Class 7 have had a busy start to Sports Focus Week by learning about the history of the Olympic Games, looking at Olympic mascots (past and present) and designing their own (if London host again), a breakdancing session, hearing about Mrs Mullock’s job at the FA and her childhood as a BMX champion and finally, writing our own sports pledge for our class Olympic torch! And that’s just today, phew!
A fantastic first day of our Sports Week for Class 5! We enjoyed an exciting assembly with Ninja Warrior star Johnny, followed by break dancing, orienteering, designing an Olympic Medal and a skipping session. Class 5 have also been challenged by myself, to see how many kilometres we can row as a class throughout the week. Each child has been rowing 1 km and swapping.. I wonder where our destination will be by Friday?
Tuesday
Class 10 had a brilliant day yesterday to start our PE week. We had a visit to the martial arts centre, tried skipping and completed session one of our bikeability training.

Another brilliant day in class 12!! They started the day off with Becky Green, a GB Olympian, who put them to their paces in a fitness circuit. Then, they spent some time finding out about the history of the olympics and where it all began and why. Followed by an excellent session with Literacy Kicks where the children learnt all about sports journalism and had a go at writing a sports column for a newspaper. Finally, they finished their day with some skipping (which is a lot harder than it looks)!!
