House Groups

House Group Reading

We had a lovely reading session in the sunshine - the older children shared books with the younger members of their house group.

Our house group leaders have really missed being able to see their groups this term. It’s just not been the same. on Tuesday 15th December all of the Year 6 young leaders invited their house groups to the bottom playground for a socially distanced meet and to share some special gifts. All of the children now have a drawstring bag in their house colour, they also received a letter from their Year 6 friends and a lovely Christmas book from the local church. We were so proud of the Year 6 children.

House Groups 2020-2021

A huge well done to the Year 6 children who stood for election this year. They made some brilliant posters and to have to record their speeches for the other children to watch was quite an ask! They all did a fantastic job.

Sports Day 2020 introduction video

You can watch the demonstration videos below for instructions on how to complete the 8 Sports Day Sock Challenges!

1. Sock Throw

Choose a starting position then see how far can you throw your ball of socks.
Measure your throw to the nearest cm!

2. Sock catch

Drop your ball of socks behind your head then quickly try and catch it between your legs! Have a practice first! How many can you catch in 1 minute?

3. Sock Keepy Uppies

Can you keep your ball of socks up in the air using just your feet?
How many keepy uppies can you do in 1 minute?

4. Sock Basketball

Put a bucket or laundry basket 4 metres away. How many times can you throw your ball of socks into the bucket, collect, return and throw again in 1 minute?

5. Sock Bowling (I forgot to video this one with William, so here's a video on Youtube to show you what to do!) Set up 6 skittles (toilet roll tubes or empty bottles). Stand 3m away & use your ball of socks to knock them down! How many can you knock down in 3 separate throws?

6. Sock Jump

Place your ball of socks on the floor and see how many times you can jump over them and back in 1 minute!

7. Rainbow Sock Throw

Put your socks into one hand & throw to your other, like a rainbow arch! How many rainbows can you throw in 1 minute?

You can put your socks down for this one (or put them on!). Stand still and jump as far as you possibly can!

Outtake!
