Year 6 Dodgeball Competition @ SHS
Dodgeball is a high-energy sport that is increasing in popularity, and our students really enjoy it when we play in PE.

This has to be one of my favourite events: the inclusive curling festival taking place at Sheffield Ice.
In the morning, starting at 8:30 am, we run a Wake & Shake Club to get our children into school and off to a healthy, active start.
This week, our Year 5 basketball team went to the Canon Medical Arena in Sheffield to take part in a citywide competition sponsored by Westfield Health. Twenty schools, all of which have been part of the schools’ basketball initiative focusing on key areas of the PSHE curriculum, such as self-esteem and bullying, participated. We were very grateful to have three professional basketball players in school, coaching our Year 5s, leading classroom sessions, running assemblies, and being fantastic role models for our youngsters.
On a beautiful sunny morning at Graves Park, we had our final race of the season at the Sheffield City Championships where children’s efforts from the whole season is celebrated and the final standings are announced.
This week we took at team of Year 5 children to Ponds Forge for a swimming development festival which had a nice combination of supported races and relays along with some expert tuition from swimming coaches. This was part of the development programme to provide children who have never been to an elite sporting venue such as Ponds Forge to experience being part of a team. Alongside our session, we had the privilege to watch some professional divers preparing for the upcoming Olympics and the Hallam elite swimmers team being put through their paces which was very impressive.
This weekend's race is the last of the league fixtures before the City Championships later in February.
