With Christmas performance preparations in full swing, we’ve continued to work on our multi-skills topic wherever possible. This week, the focus across school has been on further developing the children’s passing and receiving skills.

• Key Stage 1: The younger children focused on mastering the basics of passing and receiving. Through fun and engaging activities, they built their confidence and coordination.
• Key Stage 2: The older students applied these skills in game situations, beginning to explore teamwork and strategy as they put their learning into practice.

It’s been fantastic to see the children making progress and thoroughly enjoying their PE lessons!

This week, our Year 5 and 6 students had an exciting opportunity to attend a Sports Hall Athletics event at The Parks. The children enthusiastically participated in a variety of events, demonstrating outstanding determination, effort, and team spirit throughout the morning. It was wonderful to see them supporting each other and giving their best in every activity. We are incredibly proud of their commitment and positive attitudes, which made the trip both enjoyable and inspiring for everyone involved. Well done to all who took part!

This week was the regional qualifiers of the 7v7 national tournament, which saw our Year 5/6 football team represent North Tyneside. The St Bart's team showcased incredible skill and determination throughout the competition, losing only one game in a fiercely competitive group. Their strong teamwork and consistent performances earned them a commendable second-place finish. Unfortunately, they narrowly missed out on progressing to the next round due to the competition's format, which allowed only the group winners to advance. Despite this, the team represented St Bart's and North Tyneside with pride, leaving a lasting impression on the spectators and tournament organisers.

This week, excitement filled the air as we introduced our new Multi-Skills topic with Key Stage 1 and 2 children! Throughout the term, we’ll be working on essential skills like throwing, catching, passing, receiving, and dribbling. These versatile skills are important in many sports, but this week, basketball has taken centre stage! It’s been fantastic to see the children so engaged, learning the basics of teamwork and coordination while having a blast on the court.

Meanwhile, our Nursery and Reception children are on a different adventure – mastering balance bikes! This is a brand-new addition to our curriculum, and we’re thrilled with how quickly they’re gaining confidence and building their riding skills. It’s amazing to watch them progress, and we can’t wait to see how much they’ll achieve by the end of term.
