Sport and PE

Each week throughout the year, every year group has four timetabled slots for PE and Games which consist of Swimming, Indoor PE, Indoor Games, and Outdoor Games. The activities within these lessons change each term. There are also a wide variety of extra-curricular sports clubs that the children can attend after school which also change each term.

During the PE/Games sessions in the Michaelmas term all the children have participated in Swimming, Gymnastics and Indoor Games Skills. In Outdoor Games the Foundation Stage have experienced a multi-skills approach to games activities, the year two’s are rotating around Tag Rugby, Football, and Handball Skills, whilst the year three’s have been learning about the skills and tactics involved in Tag Rugby and Hockey.

In addition, there has been a wide variety of extra-curricular clubs after school that have included Tag Rugby, Football, Hockey, Karate and Judo. Next term the activities will change again.

Events

The ear threes have been involved in tag-rugby and hockey fixtures this term; Schools that we have competed against include QEH, Bristol Grammar School, Torwood House and The Downs School. The children have also represented Butcombe at the Beaudesert Park School annual Tag-Rugby and Hockey Festival where they played schools from all over the region. The purpose of these events is to get as many children as possible involved in sport and to play in a fun and safe environment.

The children have improved tremendously in their skills and knowledge; a really big well done to all those that have been involved.
