In their first sporting tournament of the academic year, Year 6 pupils from Middleton Primary School took part in a Dodgeball event.
A mixed boys and girls team took the trip to Cockburn John Charles Academy. They competed against other local schools and played three dodgeball matches. The children showed great team work skills to dodge, duck and dive to ensure they won every game.
Headteacher, Miss Tissiman said:
“I am very proud that the children shook hands and showed great sportsmanship throughout the tournament.”
What’s New This School Year?
The school has introduced an active theme into their after-school club provision this academic year, therefore the children have access to a range of different clubs.
They offer everything from football to active games, skipping, running, dance, active maths and many, many more.
The children have also enjoyed engaging in sport at lunch time since the introduction of a new timetable. The children in Key Stage 2 have structured football, dodgeball, cricket, indoor sport, basketball and dance to access throughout lunch-time.
They have noticed a huge increase in activity levels. They are also thrilled to announce a partnership with Hunslet Rugby Foundation, Coach James delivers fantastic PE lessons in school and also supports with lunch time provision. As part of our partnership, they also have a range of competitions to attend throughout the academic year.
