Sport in School
Below you will find information and photos relating to sport taking place in school. This will include sports day, inter-house competitions, PE lessons and more.
Dance Clubs
The children that have been attending the Year 3 & 4 and the Year 5 & 6 dance clubs in school were very excited to perform the dances they had been working on. Below are videos of their dances. Well done to all of the children that took part.
PE fundraising Day
Our school PE fundraising Day was fantastic!
The weather was kind so the children enjoyed the day without needing to battle wind and rain which certainly helped. It was great to see so many local sports clubs represented by the sports clothes children wore, as well as sports ranging from football to cheerleading, rugby to ballet. All of the children enjoyed running, walking, skipping and hula-hooping around the field to raise money. The children said they especially enjoyed being able to use other sports equipment while going round the field, and it was lovely to see the Year 6 children supporting their EYFS buddies as they went around. Thank you to all of the parents and other family members who came down to support their children and the event.
Throughout Friday the children took part in a number of other sporting activities. There was dancing, football, archery and dodgeball at different times throughout the day. At one point, six year groups across the school were either taking part in their fundraising run, or doing some other sporting activity across the school. In Year 5 & 6, the inter-house dodgeball competition took place. There was some fantastic dodgeball, with Orpen winning the event this year.
Thank you to all of the children and families for engaging in and supporting our PE fundraising day as much much as you did. We will announce how much was raised as soon as everyone has had the opportunity to send their sponsorship money in.
Year 3/4 Inter House Dodgeball Competition
On 12th October, it was Year 3 and 4's turn to take part in a Dodgeball Competition. The weather was against us so the competition was moved inside, leading to smaller courts and a lot more noise! The children were superb, learning how to apply the skills they have been learning in class within games to great effect. We were impressed with every example of honesty shown, as children would regularly tell us they had been hit by the ball without needing to be called out of the game. It was great to see children taking enjoyment from playing the game itself, not just from the result they could achieve. When we came to reveal the results the children were pleased for each other, wherever their house placed, and it was exciting to have joint winners (they couldn't be separated at all). Congratulations to Sackville and Firmins!
Year 5/6 Inter House Dodgeball Competition
On 29th September, children across Year 5 and 6 took part in an inter house dodgeball competition. Some fantastic dodgeball was played throughout the morning, with children demonstrating an excellent ability to throw accurately, dodge and catch. All games were played in a fantastic spirit, with children showing excellent honesty and integrity by acknowledging when they had been hit by the ball and bringing themselves out of the game without a teacher needing to do so. It was a great morning to be a part of. With a game to go any one of four houses could still win the competition, but it was Orpen who were the winners this year, congratulations Orpen!
Women's FA Cup Final
Nearly 50 girls from Heathlands travelled to Wembley Stadium to watch the Women's FA Cup final. It was a fantastic game and hopefully a memory the girls will remember for a long time to come!
