Sport @ Birstwith 2022
Be Active
Sport and being active is essential- even more so in the world that we are creating for our children to grow up in. At Birstwith, we strive to engage the children in a wide range of activites and sports that are based around the key fundamentals - Agility, Balance and Co-ordination. The children cover these aspects in each and every area of sport they are introduced to. The aim give the children an experience of a wide range of sport, instill a love for being active, teach children how to follow rules and adapt rules to make the games more achievable for everyone and allow children to develop their independent sport skills as well as their group/team sport skills. We work alongside some fabulous outside agencies to help promote excellence in sport either during normal school time or through after school clubs and competitions. We also have close links with local clubs too such as cricket and tennis.
For further information, please do not hestiate to contact me either directly or through school admin
Many thanks,

To get you going, here are some links and challenges...
Autumn term
So good to be back at school and getting active. The children across the school have had some fantastic PE opportunities- from our great teachers, from Sporting Influence and from the Lawn Tennis Association. Years 4 and 5 have had tennis training to build on their progress from last year, Ks1 and Year 3 have had the professional support from SPorting Influence to build a strong foundation for sport and the KS2 children have had hockey as an after school club.
Next half term, we are looking forward to football tournaments with different schools and an after school club aimed at getting girls active. Watch this space!

Gymnastics
Class 3 and 4 have been loving their gymnastics module this term. It has been really successful so far with children learning all about control, tension, extension and the aesthetics that come with a high quality routine. They have started to master travelling, rolling and a range of single or paired balances and thye have even begun to piece it all together to perform small fluid movements demonstrating the learnt techniques.
