This week we absolutely loved our experience playing Wheelchair Basketball! We honed our skills of teamwork, throwing and catching, whilst also trying to manoeuvre the wheelchairs (with some speed too!) across the court.

Year 3 had great fun manoeuvring the wheelchairs, throwing and scoring today. It was much trickier than it looked. They did a great job and the games were highly competitive. An amazing experience.

Year 2 enjoyed taking part in a wheelchair basketball session. The session began with them learning how to manoeuvre their wheelchairs so they could play a short game. The children were very competitive and worked well as a team to score points in the opposition’s net. What a wonderful experience…

Reception enjoyed a wheelchair basketball session, learning how to move the chairs, go backwards and forwards and move around the hall. They even had a turn at using a ball to shoot it into a net. They had lots of fun when they learnt how they could move faster by using their hands on the wheels.

Year 5 had a blast with wheelchair basketball today! They started with a game of tag to get the hang of it and then moved on to competitive basketball matches. The instructor was impressed by how quickly they picked it up and how well they worked together as a team.

Our Year 3 children have been perfecting their animal dances. They had some great moves. The Sports Values were shown and recognised in Cameron, Ella, Adalyn and Mia.

I modelled language like “on, up, over and under” to the children as they made their way along the different parts…

Some of our Year 1 and 2 children represented us at a Multiskills event at Whitehaven Academy yesterday. They took part in a variety of activities. They behaved impeccably and showed all the values of school games. We are immensely proud of them all.
