Sam Ruddock's Athletics master class and Emotion workshops.

We welcomed Sam from Inspire+  who visited us for the afternoon. KS1 had an athletics masterclass for all children who had not been moved down a cloud( Reception children chose whether to join the group or not).

Lots of fun warm up games...

skills...

                                    Tips and techniques( they worked as the javelins flew across the hall!)

A game at the end that used spacial awareness and thinking to try to collect the balls and put them in the teams bucket.

Great fun and even better when the scores were counted: 22 for each team.

Ks2 had a workshop learning about emotions: how they are expressed, how to recognise them and what to do ( good or bad).Year 5 worked together first acting out the cards , guessing what they were and sorting them into red, amber or green piles to discuss later.

Y 6 enjoyed the same sessions with Sam saying they were extremely good at saying all the different ways emotions could be expressed and how they affect people. He was impressed with their maturity and knowledge.

                          A fun and important session for Y5 & 6 with lots of discussion. Thank you Sam.
