PE with Mike from Inspire+ and Sport Relief PE

Mike came for his last session and showed us a different game of bench ball- we had to stay on our hands and feet!

At first children were quite tentative, moving carefully to try to score...

then things got very competitive with children scuttling across  and leaping on the ball- no heed of the hard wooden floor and knees-no doubt some good bruises at the end!

you could not move with the ball, when you did move you had to keep hands and feet on the floor-children soon became skilled and adept at this and really enjoyed the session.

All classes were invited by our Bronze Ambassadors to come to school representing different sports. In PE we had to complete as many 1 minute challenges as possible to score points that when multiplied by 10 would represent miles to Rio. ( We had 5767 miles to get there!)

In Real PE we have been learning how to send and receive the ball in different ways, use our creativity to come up with different ways and to create patterns and sequences so this week we used all these to help us complete our 1 minute challenges.

Sam Ruddock and his Hunting for Gold assembly.

Sam visited us for a special assembly to talk to us about his preparation for Rio 2016.
He reminded us why he is competing for the Paralympics and not the Olympics showing us photos of him as a child and describing his life with his disability due to being born early at 6 months and having cerebral palsy.

At Loughborough University Sam played American Football and was talent spotted and went on to train for the  100m and 200m.

In London 2012 Sam finished  outside the medals despite running a PB.He decided to swap to shot put.

A very special vest for Sam.

His passes for some of his competitions.

His only gold medal ( so far).

Lots of people wanting to answer Sam's questions.

Sam showing us his pledge to Hunt down Gold in Rio and asking us all to pledge to become active and lead healthy lives.

Sam signed and so did Casper and Joseph our Bronze Sports Ambassadors.

Sam told us to  " prepare, practise and perform" in order to meet our goals and dreams.

Despite beating his PB in the shot put Sam finished 5th and now hopes to improve and medal in Rio.

We hope you manage to hunt down gold in Rio and come back to show us your medal.

   

Netball matches

On Thursday we played our next 3 matches in our league
We played against Cliffedale B team, Saint Sebastians and The National School and won all 3 matches!
Fist we played Cliffedale B team and won 5-1,the Saint Sebastians gave us a good close match but we finally won 5-3 and our final match against The National School we won 7-1. Each half the team swapped places following a rotation sheet ensuring everyone played all 5 positions and everyone stepped up to the mark once again producing  a fantastic display of team work. Following Sam Ruddocks visit earlier in the day  the team really did ,"prepare, practise and perform."

All the play in our scoring zone.

Lily and Hannah our GA and GS scorers.

Rory as Centre for the first time and relishing the new position.

Now our defenders have to work to stop a goal being scored against us-Rory proved he is also good in this position too.

It was good to be able to spread out and pass the ball freely rather than our small and restrictive court back at school!

Team preparing to swap into new positions for next half.

We were really happy and proud of ourselves- our supporters told us that they enjoyed watching us play and were impressed with our skills.

Thank you team-I look forward to your progress next year as Year6 ( sorry Casper -it's your last match for us, but thank you for being our Captain this year.)

5matches played- 4 won, 1 drawn= superb result Marston High 5 Netball Team.
