P.E. Events and Experiences
Year 4 Mini Olympic Event
All of our year 4 children took part in the ‘Year 4 Mini Olympic Day’ at Newton Abbot College. The children were teamed up with children from other primary schools and participated in a range of activities. The event was led by Mr Patchett and supported by the PE teachers and students from the college. There were even a few familiar faces who use to attend our school, helping out. We all had a great time!

“I enjoyed the Tug of War.”
“Climbing the rope in gymnastics.”
“ I really enjoyed the vault.”
“I enjoyed being part of all the sports.”
“I enjoyed the football.”

Commonwealth Games with Mr Patchett
Mr Patchett, from Newton Abbott College, came into school and held a Commonwealth Games experience for our Key Stage 2 children. The children engaged in a range of activities such as relay running, javelin throwing and the long jump to name but a few.
All children had a great afternoon competing against each other in these activities and used it as practise for our up-and-coming Sports Day!
Young Play Leaders Training
Ami, from the South Dartmoor School Sports Partnership, came into school to offer our Young Play Leaders bespoke training. This training focused on encouraging children to participate in football, developing their skills and applying this in matches.
The Young Play Leaders then taught a football training session to our year 4 children, before offering it to key stage 1 and key stage 2 children during our lunchtime provision.
“I learnt how to play different games.”
“It was very fun. I enjoyed the games, like the animal game and the football skills.”
“I enjoyed practising and playing the games. We then taught these.”
“I learnt that you need to be responsible.”
“I enjoyed teaching the year 4’s and playing and learning the games with Ami.”
“I liked how the year 4’s enjoyed the games and listened to us when we said something.”
Lucas Jet Circus
Lucas and Jonny came to our school to show us some fantastic circus skills. They taught us how to balance a feather, use diablos, spin plates and juggle. Every class from Reception to Year 6 took part. At the end of the day, Lucas and Jonny gave an amazing performance. Some of the children even participated in the show!
We cannot wait to have them back next year!

The children and adults had a brilliant time. Year 5 were great role models and ambassadors for our school and represented us beautifully.
