Some of our year 5 and 6 have now completed their sports leaders’ course and we couldn’t be prouder of them.

Our year 5 and 6 sports leaders have been putting their planning skills to the test this week. We visited Reception’s PE lesson to pick up some tips from Mr Burgess and then spent some time planning our own sessions for Y1 and Y2 in a couple of weeks.
This week, 6A took their SPAG lesson outside and had a friendly competition to see who could find the most errors in an old test paper.
