PE Events

It is our aim that children across the federation have the opportunity to represent their school at sporting competitions and festivals organised by the West Norwich and Dereham School Sports partnership or other events organised during their time in school.

Children will be chosen to take part in a sport that they may not have had the opportunity to participate in before. We feel it is important that children get the chance to experience different sports and physical activity types during their school years. Therefore children may not be chosen to represent the school at sports that they participate in outside of school. We believe in giving all children a fair chance and fostering attitudes of good sportsmanship.

On Thursday 5th October, 5 children from year 1 and 5 children from year 2 attended Goals in Norwich to represent our federation in a KS1 Football Festival. The event started working on some teamwork skills and then they worked through 4 different football activities.

They practised dribbling, passing and then finished with a match and penalty shoot out!

All of the children thoroughly enjoyed being outside, active and developing their football skills, and had smiles on their faces all day! For many, it was their first time playing in a football match and they have all said they would like to play again.

Well done to everyone that took part!
