On Wednesday 2nd October our first parents workshop of the year took place. The workshop focused on healthy living, what it means to be healthy, why it is important to reduce our sugar intake and how to make healthy snack and drink choices. The workshop also finished with all the children and parents making a healthy snack of a watermelon pizza with a range of toppings such as strawberries, blackberries and blueberries. 

Year 5 and 6 Boys Inter House Tag Rugby Competition - 02.10.19!

 

We were all very excited about the return of our House Point Inter-Sport Competitions for this academic year. These memorable competitions provide our pupils with the opportunity to compete against each other whilst representing their house point team. One of the most exciting parts of the competition is the chance to wear our special house point sports kit, which is definitely an honour!

Well done to all the children who took part in the Year 5 and 6 Boys Tag Rugby competition on 2nd October 2019.  The standard of rugby was exceptionally high and it was clear to see the improvements the boys have made in their Tag Rugby in their PE lessons this year. A massive thank you to all the parents/carers and siblings who also came to show their support. What a great atmosphere!  Congratulations to the Trolls who were the winning team and earned 600 house points for their house.

Year 5 and 6 Girls -Tag Rugby Champions 27.09.19!

Our first inter school sports competition of the year was a Sports Tapscott Girls Tag Rugby competition at West Ham United Beckton. The girls braved the adverse weather conditions to win all of their games and claimed our first winners trophy and medals of the year.

Girls Ambassador Launch

A major goal of the PE and Sports team at Sir John Heron this year is to continue to get as many girls in our school active and participating in the various sports opportunities that are on offer. As part of this some of our Year 5 and 6 girls attended the Sports Tapscott launch of Girls Active on Friday 20th September. The main objective of Girls Active is to allow girls to become role models within their school, setting up leadership groups which focus on how they could make PE and physical activity more appealing to their peers. We are really proud of the girls who took part and look forward to seeing them lead physical activity in our MUGA at lunchtime. See the photos below for a taste of our session at Sports Tapscott!

Well done to our Year 5 and 6 Girls Tag Rugby squad who have been training every Tuesday after school for their upcoming Sports Tapscott Girls Tag Rugby competition on 27th September. Their attitude, behaviour, respect and determination stand out and make them excellent role models for the other children in our school.

PE in Year 2 

Week 2

In their first PE lesson of the year the children in Year 2 were focused on improving their static balancing skills. The children played a game called Popping Pirates which required them to balance different pieces of equipment on different body parts. The children really enjoyed the game and are already looking forward to improving on their performance in their next PE lesson.


 

Year 6 Team Building

13/09/2019

This week as part of their PE lesson both Year 6 classes participated in a range of different team building challenges. Some of the activities the children completed included: marble run, shoe tower and around the hoop. Team building activities can help increase pupil motivation and nurture a successful growth mindset throughout their learning. As well as this, they can improve communication skills. Here at Sir John Heron we believe these skills are essential for all children to fulfil their potential.
