What a busy term of clubs and PE for Henbury. Everyone in school has had opportuni�es to-take part in Individual and Colour team compe��ons. Par�cipa�on in sport is currently the best it has been in a long �me at Henbury, and feedback from all the extra curricular ac�vi-�es, clubs and PE lessons is posi�ve.
Recent messages from the government about the PE funding are that, as much as possi-ble ,the funding should be used to ensure that the impact made in PE and School sport should be sustainable and therefore con�nue when the funding ceases. With this in mind we are con�nually working together to and ensure that our PE curriculum is top quality in terms of the teaching and the learning that takes place in all of our PE lessons!
HEALTHY HENBURY!
ACTIVE ASSEMBLY Our Spring term Ac�ve assemblies focused on making healthy lifestyle choices, with the help of the Change4life website and Go Noodle. We played some fun games to get us moving and Mrs Gwillim introduced a Go Noodle challenge to each class in the school. Informa�on about these websites has been sent home, but if you missed the le-er, then the web-sites are www.nhs.uk/10-minute-shake-up and www.gonoodle.com. Well done in par�cular to Ethan in Year 2 for signing up to Go Noodle at home and sharing his cer�ficates with me and to Mercedes in Year 4 for com-ple�ng the Henbury Ac�ve Challenge, returning her sheet to show she had completed 60 minutes of physical ac�vity and HOW she had done it! I would love to see more of these if you also completed the sheet. We also learnt about Sport Relief and in par�cular, inspira�onal people, like Greg James, who completed 5 Triathlons, in 5 Ci�es, in 5 days. We talked about what mo�vates people to challenge themselves in this way, and we completed some Triathlons in the hall!! A sight to behold. And we all agreed that being ac�ve certainly made us smile, and feel happy!

SPORTS DAY
STAFF TRAINING Mrs Gwillim completed Module 5 of the PE Subject Co-ordinator Training run by the YOUTH SPORT TRUST, which she began last year. Only one Module to go now, and not only has the course been extremely helpful in providing support on developing all areas of PE and Schools sport both in theory and prac�cally, but has enabled Mrs Gwillim to share ideas and learn from some very inspira�onal PE co-ordinators in other schools.
Mrs Gwillim and Mr Guppy have con�nued to work together to deliver Fitness Frogs Lunch�me club for Year 1 children and Mr Guppy will endeavor to con�nue this during the Summer term.
We were also very lucky to have Vera Bernable Payol, FA Skills Football Coach, in school again, deliv-ering PE in Year 1 and Founda�on. As part of this delivery Mrs Lucas, Mrs Bargewell and Miss Keeble, all completed the ‘FA Skills PRIMARY TEACHER AWARD’, an online course, based on observa�ons and learning from the sessions delivered by Vera. This now means that a large propor�on of our teachers and TA’s have this qualifica�on.
Some children managed to improve their balancing by progressing 3 levels further on comple�on of the challenge! As many children had completed this challenge last year, it was great to see how some individu-als had really grown in confidence as well as ability!
Everyone received a cer�ficate at the end of the challenge to recog-nise their efforts.
Overall the winning colour team with most children reaching Step 7 was BLUE TEAM.
BALANCE CHALLENGE
All year groups completed a Gymnas�c Balance Challenge, compe�ng individu-ally to improve their skills of balance. Children had to balance on one foot for a set amount of �me, progressing through 8 steps of difficulty. The chal-lenge required strength and control and also determina�on. Children completed the challenge at the beginning and end of a Gymnas�cs unit of work, and were allowed �me to prac�se the balances each week.
HENBURY HIKERS
Well, despite the miserable weath-er some of us met at Upton Coun-try Park for a lovely walk this term. Although a smaller group this �me, it was a pleasure to talk together with the families who came. The children had a great play on the swing and fun playing together in such a beau�ful place.
I would like to thank everyone who made the effort to come and hopefully the weather will improve and with the warmth we’ll have more
hikers next �me!
GYMNASTIC TASTER
SESSIONS
The Sports Coaches from Sports 1st Academy visited early in the term, to deliver a great Gymnas�cs Taster Session to each class in the school.
The children learnt about warming up, body shapes and were able to use the apparatus in the hall. It was also a chance for teaching staff to learn from the Coaches.
BASKETBALL TASTER
SESSIONS AND BASKET-
BALL CLUB
We were very lucky to be visited again by the Coaches from Sports 1st Acade-my, who this �me delivered a fast and fun Basketball taster session to Years 2,3 and 4. It was so popular and the children enjoyed it so much that over 30 children signed up to take part in the AGer school Basketball club, which began in March and due to its success is con�nuing in the Summer term.
YOUR TURN TO CHALLENGE
YOURSELF……. GO NOODLE!
During the Spring term, most teachers intro-duced GO NOODLE to the children. This is a fabulous FREE website which provides 100’s of short fun video clips of a wide range of ac�vi�es that develop different physical skills, such as Kinesthe�c Learning, Stretching, Aerobics, Calm-ing, Co-ordina�on. Each �me a class uses Go Noodle to exercise during the day, it records the amount of �me spent being ac�ve. This has now been set as a termly challenge for each class to see who can be the most ac�ve. During the Spring term our Go Noodle Champs were Year 2 and
Year 3! Now it’s your turn to try at home!!

FUN
RUN The whole
school
took part
in a FUN
RUN, in honour of SPORT RELIEF. Classes
came out to the field and then completed 6
laps of the field. As children completed the
laps, they used a lap counter, to keep count
of their laps. Each child’s finishing posi�on
was recorded, then an average of top fin-
ishing posi�ons was worked out and BLUE
and RED t eam had the most children finish-
ing in 1st, 2nd or 3rd.
We aim to provide one competition per term
to Years1-4.
