Physical Education (Katherine/Mrs Simpson)

Welcome back to Physical Education for 2026!

Classes are off to a fantastic start, and we are excited for another active and fun filled term ahead. We are also thrilled to welcome Mrs Simpson to the PE team this year and are looking forward to all the energy and expertise she brings to our lessons. 

This term, students will be focusing on the different events for Athletics Day, developing skills, confidence, and a positive attitude towards having a go. 

For our senior students, this involves practising techniques and improving our ability to undertake a range of athletics-based events including:

*Shot Put

*Discus

*Vortex

*Long Jump

*Triple Jump

*High Jump

*800m long distance

*200m sprint

*Circular Relay

For our junior school, we will be focusing on skills we need to compete in tabloid sporting events including:

*Overarm vortex throw

*Obstacle course

*Long jump

*75m sprint 

*High jump

You can start practising these events at home or at school during snack times!  

Please note: High Jump and Triple Jump events for senior students will be completed at school.
