We had a great start to the day on Tuesday with many children coming in early to join the 'Wake Up, Shake Up' session with Mr Bourton. The frosty start ensured that plenty of movement took place and there were lots of smiles too. Next session is 8:30am Thursday with Mr Bennett.
This week some children in Key Stage 2 took part in a Cross Country competition at William Brookes School. They all put 100% effort into the tough course. We received lots of certificates for top 3 places and a few team certificates too! Well done you all showed responsibility, respect and readiness throughout the afternoon.
This week in PE Reception and Year 1 were working on their fundamental skills this week specifically on changing speed and movement through parachute games. Year 2 are working on the topic of fitness where we have been completing fitness circuits.
At our local Broseley Youth Football club a newly formed under 8s group consists of many of our Year 3 children. They began last winter playing friendly matches, against many well established teams, and all of their matches ended in defeat. All players showed resilience, determination and team spirit to continue training and working hard together. This weekend, they played their first league game against Market Drayton Tigers and won 2-1! All the children came into school beaming with pride from their first win. Well done to all the team and coaches! Here are some of their thoughts following the match:
'It was very exciting because it was our first league match.' Thomas
'I wanted to get the win to make our families proud.' Gabriel
'It was a remarkable achievement.' Emmett
'We finally won our first match. We successfully won!' Jake
'It made me very happy.' Arthur
'We really did deserve to win - we worked hard and showed determination.' Team member
"I felt shocked because it was the league, I wasn't sure if we could win but we did! I scored both of the goals. I was proud of everyone.' Quinn
This week in PE Reception and Year 1 were working on their fundamental skills this week specifically on balance and being able to change direction at speed.

This week some Year 6 children took part in the swimming gala. They all put 100% effort in during each race and we came away with a wealth of 1st, 2nd and 3rd places! We especially loved seeing you work together in the girls and boys relay, placing 1st (girls) and 2nd (boys) in these events. Well done everyone, you represented our school with determination and readiness.
It was lovely to have so many join us to celebrate our Commonwealth Games themed sports day. It was a fantastic afternoon, with plenty of sunshine and laughter. It was wonderful to see the children take part in a variety of sports, sharing with you the things that they have taken part in during P.E lessons, competitions and breaktime clubs. Well done to all the children who took part and the overall winners - Australia!

After our last Year 6 swimming and badminton session we would like to congratulate all the children for they hard work, determination and dedication to making progress throughout our sessions at William Brookes. Some children were spotted by Mrs Smith to be awarded with her very special stars! Well done to those children. A special mention needs to be made for Annie, who began as a non-swimmer, but today swam 25m front crawl and backstroke with no support. An amazing achievement!
