Sports Leaders in training

Over the last couple of weeks we have been recruiting for Sports Leaders for the 2024- 2025 calendar year. We were inundated with applications of such high quality which made it a really difficult decision. On Thursday 3rd October, Mrs.Twamley (our SGO) joined us to begin the training for our hopeful leaders. The children participated in a range of playground games and sports as well as working together to come up with their own games and activities they could lead on. The children were exceptional and demonstrated teamwork, motivation and resilience throughout, great attributes to hold moving forward.

Year 5 Brownlee Triathlon

On Friday 14th June, Year 5 attended the 'Pho3nix Kids' by Brownlee Foundation Triathlon event in Harrogate.  The children swam 50m, cycled 800m and ran 300m. They were competitive, enthusiastic and determined and were SO supportive to one another throughout.  There was an added bonus as Alistair and Jonny Brownlee were waiting at the finish line to award the children their medals! 

Chance to Shine Cricket

We have been lucky enough to have had Owen from 'Chance to Shine Cricket' back in to lead our cricket sessions. The weather hasn't always been on our side but Owen has been able to adapt activities for in the hall. This has really enhanced staff CPD but also in developing and supporting links to local clubs and teams. The children absolutely love the sessions, where they are all engaged, active and take on various roles, they particularly enjoy their teacher getting involved too! 

Reindeer Dash 

This week the children got into the Christmas spirit and joined forces with York Mix radio to complete a Reindeer Dash in order to raise money for St Leonards' Hospice. The children recorded their version of '.... sleeps till Christmas' before completing 5 laps of the playground, wearing their Reindeer antlers chasing an extra special guest....SANTA!! It was wonderful to see the whole school working together towards a shared goal. 

We are pleased to share that we raised £252.00 in total!

Inter-competitions

We have four school houses at PCJS: Gresley, Peraduras, Keepers and Moors who regularly compete against one another through inter-house competitions at the end of each unit in their PE lessons in order to gain house points for their team. 

Recently, we have increased the house competitions through assigning all members of staff into a house!
