Brownlee Centre
Earlier this week, a group of upper Key Stage 2 children had the opportunity to attend the schools Tour de Yorkshire celebration event at the Brownlee Centre.
The structured coaching session involved different cycling skills activities and was a great chance for the pupils to test out the cycle circuit.
As a result of the positive feedback from the children, we hope to participate in future events at the circuit.
The next pop-up ride at the centre is this weekend, Sunday 08 July 12:00pm – register to take part using the Let’s Ride website.
Sports day 2018
Yesterday, the whole school enjoyed a sun soaked sports day at Roundhegians. Well done to all the children who took part and demonstrated School Games values of passion, self-belief, respect, honesty, teamwork and determination. We believe that sports day is an ideal context for children to explore these values. For example, learning how to handle success and defeat, believing in their abilities, respecting others and working with others to achieve success.
Special thanks go to:
- Roundhegians for providing excellent facilities and hosting our sports day
- Excellent sports leaders from Allerton Grange who ran the field events for Key Stage 2 and supported the younger children with their races in the afternoon
- PTA for providing refreshments for spectators
- parents who supplied and assembled gazebos to keep the children in shade at the event
- Year 5 sports leaders and Year 2 helpers too
- All staff who helped out on the day
Health fair
Thank you to all parents, carers and pupils who came along to our first health fair at the start of our Being Healthy themed week. Our goal was to promote the many great organisations that are in our community and to raise awareness amongst parents, carers and children about the range of activities and health opportunities available to them locally.
We hope that parents, carers and children will build on the contacts made at the fair.
A big thank you to all the organisations who attended.
