 Leadership & Volunteering opportunities

Welcome back to all of the children for this school year. PE and clubs are now well under way and it is great to see so many children signed up to take part in after school sport. If you are one of the children not taking part in after school sport could you see if you could fit in at least one activity as an extra to your PE lessons as it is important to do regular exercise for a healthy lifestyle. If there are no activities that interest you please come and see me or your class school council representative so that we can try and help find something for you.

Year 5/6

On Tuesday the 12^th of February 2019, years 5 and 6 went on a sports hall athletics trip to the UEA to compete in the last round: the finals. They competed for the title of best in the county against seven different schools.

In her first race, Emily (year 6) did a relay race and after said,” I think I did really well!”

When we were there, Mr. Heasman introduced the team to an athlete, Iona Lake, and apparently, he used to train with her when he used to be fast! On the mixed, Eva ran for the girls and Toby for the boys. On the field events, Ruby (M) did the Triple Jump, Emily (K) did the Vertical Jump and Ruby (K) did the Long Jump. Blofield boys, Dylan and George, won their race while Emily (H) and Willow ran a six-lap relay race and won it. Toby and Joel also did the six lap race but came 6^th.Emily (K), Maia, Lucie and Eva did the Over and Under race for the girls and for the boys, Freddie, Liam, Sam and Brendon. The girls won their Over and Under race and the boys came 2^nd.

On the Chest Push, Ruby (M) reached 7 meters and Emily (K) did Speed Bounce and reached 61! While she did that, the boys came 1^st on the non-scoring Over and Under race. In addition, Ruby (K), Lucie and Maia did the javelins and did really well! Toby, Dylan and Liam also did the javelins and reached the end of the hall almost. Even our coach, Mr. Heasman, threw a javelin and it reached 14 meters! Eva, Ruby (M), Natalie and Maia did the 4x1 race and they came 7^th. For the boys, Sam, Charlie, Toby and Liam ran and they came 5^th. The mixed races were ran by Willow, Emily (K), Joel and Brendon and they all came 1^st.

In the end, Blofield won the whole thing with an amazing total of 288 points! Willow stated,” I feel very happy about myself for winning.” Lucie says that she is happy about winning and that she did very well in all of her races. Emily (K) feels very proud of the Blofield team and they all did amazingly. Emily (H) said,” I am delighted about winning, I feel proud because I did the 4x1 with Willow and the 2x2. Our team was very good and so was all the other teams, also, they all had very competitive spirit.” Eva feels happy about winning and that she did very well to be able to reach that stage of the competition. Our PE teacher, Mrs. Lawrence, said,” Blofield did amazing and I am proud of how they all did. All that practise payed of. We knew that it would have been hard to compete with all the other schools but I am happy about winning. Also, I bet years 3 and 4 will shout louder!” As a journalist, I think the day went really well and that all of the children there did amazing. The year five and six Blofield team is the best in the county!

We came to the UEA to do a sportshall athletics competition on a coach and did a warm up. There were leaders from Thorpe high school and Sprowston too. There was a man who said we can make as much noise as we wanted. There was different activities like chest pass, standing long jump and speed bounce. If a race was happening and you wanted to cross you had to wait until it was finished. There was lots of relays going on girls ones and boy ones. Everyone was having fun at the UEA. There was a relay called over and under where you had to go as fast as you could through a tunnel. The races were all really exciting. There was a javelin throw for girls and boys they had 3 javelins each after that we went back to school. We did really well in the competition and one of our teams won.

 Cross Country at North Walsham

 50 children from Key Stage 2 took part in the Cross Country Event at North Walsham Rugby Club. Each race had over 70 runners competing. Congratulations to Isla and William for winning a medal and all those who took part, including those who finished in the top ten!
