Morpeth and Ponteland Partnership Year 4 Tennis Festival

On Thursday 7th May, while all the grown ups were voting, 17 of us from Red Class went to take part in the Morpeth and Ponteland Partnership Tennis festival.  From our 17, we entered two teams.  We were playing against 10 other teams from many different schools.

We played singles matches, and it was the first person to score 4 points who won each game.  Most of us played 5 games each.  We all won some, drew some and lost some however our tennis had definitely improved by the time the competition finished!

Unfortunately, Mrs Hughes forgot to take the camera.  In competition A we came 5th and in competition B we came 2nd.

Orienteering

Year 4 have been taking part in the Orienteering Award with John from Navigate Northumberland.

They have had great fun; navigating the field, drawing, reading maps and working as a team.

To measure the impact of this, we conducted pupil voice questionnaires.

Year 4 were also asked what their favourite part of the course was ‘map reading in the rain, everything, the north, south, east, west quiz, and when we navigated ourselves around the field. ‘

They were also asked how they felt about orienteering before and after the training:

Before the Navigation Award – 63 % of Year 4 felt ‘not very confident or okay’ about orienteering and following the training 87 % were either ‘confident or very confident’ about orienteering.

Next, Year 1 would like to try: tennis, basketball, volley ball and golf - we will see what we can organise, well done Year 1!

Multi Skills - Year 2

The activities Year 2 have enjoyed the most:'playing matches, dribbling the balls, learning games,seeing the football in the net, tackling, warm ups.'

Areas they would like to improve: 'scoring more goals,tackling, dribbling, turning, shooting, be faster, learn to be not scared of the ball when it comes to me, side skipping.'
