Early Years (Reception)
During Early Years, the children learn to move in different ways. They develop their awareness of others when moving around a space and practise changing speed and direction when they are moving. A large focus in Reception is for the children to develop their coordination through activities such as throwing and catching a ball or jumping and landing safely. As well as their PE lessons, children in Reception also work on developing their balance through gymnastics activities. Reception children take part in daily 'Storycises' where they develop their core strength and stability by performing actions linked to a story.
Key Stage One (Year 1 and Year 2)
 |
In Key Stage One the children learn to master basic movements including running, jumping, throwing and catching, as well as developing their balance, agility and co-ordination; they begin to apply these in a range of activities. They learn to follow rules by participating in team games and developing simple tactics for attacking and defending. The children also learn to use simple movement patterns to perform dances. | |
Key Stage Two (Year 3 and Year 4)
|
The children in Key Stage Two learn to further develop their basic skills by using running, jumping, throwing and catching in combination as well as in isolation. They develop their flexibility, strength control and balance through a range of activities including gymnastics and athletics. The children learn to participate in competitive games and have the opportunity to attend tournaments and festivals with other local schools, including in tag rugby, tennis, cricket, football and athletics. The children in Key Stage Two will also develop their ability to compare their performances with previous ones and work towards a achieving a personal best. |

Spectacular Sports Week
Wow! Sports week was exhilarating! A week full of active and exciting activities. From crazy cricket, to tremendous tennis and even a climbing wall! The children thoroughly enjoyed trying out the different activities and we definitely have some Sporting Heroes at Wimborne First School. We have seen good team work, amazing sportsmanship and a fantastic effort all round. Wimborne First definitely have a number of Sporting Superstars and we were really impressed with everyone’s efforts on our Sports Days. Thank you to everyone who came to support their children at Sports Days. They really were events to remember!

The Commonwealth Games is coming to Birmingham As part of our Sports Week, we have been learning all about the Commonwealth Games, the sports that are in the event and where the event is being held this year. Thanks to our School Games Organiser, we have our very own Commonwealth Games Mascot, Perry the Bull that we have been using to help teach the children about the games. The children also had lots of fun putting Perry the Bull in different places around the schools and taking photographs of him |

Tag Rugby Festival
Ready, Steady Play! Some children in Year 4 recently went to Wimborne Rugby Club to participate in a Tag Rugby Festival. This was our first PE event in over two years. The children showed fantastic sportsmanship, playing well and working really hard as a team. They won all of their matches and took home a medal and a certificate showing their achievements. The children also bought back to school a mascot for the Commonwealth Games – Perry the Bull. You will be hearing more about him in the summer term!
The children wrote a match report of their day. This is what they said:
“We went to a rugby tournament. We won all our tag rugby matches.
