ports fixtures were not possible for much of this year, so House Sports became more prominent, helping to boost the physical, social and psychological wellbeing of our pupils. Thank you to our Sports staff for keeping our pupils motivated throughout the year to maintain an active lifestyle, both in school and at home. St Peter’s 2-8 Super Sports The children at St Peter’s 2-8 have enjoyed practising their sports skills in their PE lessons this year. They have developed their throwing and aiming skills, dribbling skills, endurance skills and much more. The children also enjoyed a return to competitive sport. In the autumn term, Year 3 participated in a House Hockey tournament, representing their respective Houses and showcasing their impressive skills. Physical Education is a key area in the curriculum at St Peter’s with all children from Nursery to Year 3 participating in two specialised lessons each week. As the children move up the school swimming lessons become a fantastic addition to their physical education. The children are taught the skills of many competitive games as well as gymnastics and dance. In Year 3 all of the children experience playing as part of a team in inter-school fixtures providing an important introduction to competitive sport.
