Class 3 Football and Netball Tournament

On Friday, some children from class 3 entered a Football and a Netball Tournament that took place at our school!

There were three other schools and Blakedown did really well: The Football team did not loose a match or even let in a single goal, so they came top of the table. The Netball team won 2 games and drew 1 game. They also came top of their table, so won overall.

Well done to all that took part!

Go Blakedown!!!!

Skipping!

We recently had a visit from the 'Blue and White Skippers' who are part of a professional skipping team. They came to Blakedown to run a skipping workshop with Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. It was a lot of fun and we bought some excellent new skipping ropes from them. Skipping is a great way to exercise and have fun at the same time!

Football/Netball Tournament

On Saturday, Class 4 entered a team into the football and netball tournament at Haybridge. Both teams did really well, getting to the semifinals respectively. The teams that knocked us out, went on to win the tournament too!
Both teams put in 100% effort and made all the staff and parents who were watching very proud.
Well done teams!
Here are some pictures of the football (netball coming soon!):

Multiskills!

All children in Year 2 and Year 4 went to a Multiskills festival at Haybridge on Friday. They rotated around the activities and had a go at many different skill areas. These ranged from football to table tennis, basket ball to relay events. Everyone had a great time!

Extreme Sports!!!

On Friday, six children from Keystage 2 went to an Extreme Sports Festival at The Glades leisure centre in Kidderminster. They could use either skateboards, rollerblades/skates or scooters at the event. When they got there they were met by a large array of ramps, jumps, halfpipes and rails that they could use to practise skills and tricks on. Everyone was a bit nervous at first, but with the help of Jenna Downing (Professional Inline Skater) they were all soon attempting to skate up to the tallest ramp! Everyone did really well and Eleanor was given a prize for her determination. Well done all!
