This week, Mrs Rowntree used some of our sports premium budget to arrange a Dance Day, which was delivered by the amazing York Dance Space. York Dance Space currently run or incredibly popular after school club, which is already full for this half-term! Mrs Rowntree was keen to give all the children the opportunity to experience a dance workshop and give the teachers the chance to observe really effective dance teaching.

The pupils had great fun experimenting with different styles of dance, performing lifts and dancing to fabulous music whilst developing their rhythmical skills. The teachers deepened their understanding of curriculum dance and it has been wonderful to hear the children so excited about their workshops!

York Dance Space run adult and child classes so if you fancy getting involved or trying something

We had two football teams in action on a very wet and cold Monday evening this week.

Both teams played against Easingwold Primary School and battled hard to demonstrate some superb football and great team work.

One team drew 3-3 and the other team lost 3-1. They made Mr Sellers incredibly proud. A huge thank you to the parents who provided lifts and stood in the pouring rain! One team has progressed through to the East York Schools finals on Tuesday 19th December so watch out for more scores coming through! Good luck to the boys in this event.

We are delighted to say that we have again been successful in our submission for the School Games Gold award!

The School Games Mark is a government led awards scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community. Participating in this process allows schools to evaluate their PE provision and assists them in developing an action plan for future progress.

Schools need to demonstrate how they are/have:

• maintaining and growing your school’s engagement in the School Games and your delivery of 60 active minutes for every child
• create positive experiences by ensuring physical activity and competition provision is designed to reflect the motivation, competence and confidence of your young people and has a clear intent
• a clear focus on transition points and how secondary schools engage in the School Games
• create positive experiences to support character development of targeted young people
• advocated to key stakeholders how the School Games makes a meaningful difference to the lives of children and young people, including engaging and educating parents.
