Bradley- Silloth Primary School 

This young man has participated brilliant in our healthy ways workshop, where each week we are working on a different challenge from strength, stamina, speed, suppleness and skill.

He has pushed himself in every area, recording his scores in school and also at home trying the challenges again to better his score. 

He has participated really well with linking each sporting challenge with food group.

Keep up the good work

Isabella - Seaton Juniors 

Isabella has been brilliant this half term as she always is. She gets involved and is amazing to teach. She always has a smile on her face and gives 110.%.  Isabella mainly performs in dance outside of school but gets stuck into every sport. She took a leadership role recently at the Cumbria School Games and teachers throughout Cumbria feedback how helpful she was and how she gave teams plenty of encouragement. Isabella’s enthusiasm is infectious and I hope she keeps this attitude up as she moves on to Secondary School.

Tom- Wiggonby Primary School

For the final half term of the school year we have been delivering intra school sport competitions in each P.E lesson, with a different focus each week. Tom has been able to excel each lesson as he’s been able to transfer his speed, agility, dribbling and hand eye coordination across a range of different sports so effectively. Not only has Tom got fantastic ability- he’s also a super team mate- highly competitive, giving 100% effort and determination in everything he does for the team cause. However he’s also very considerate, always allowing teammates to have opportunities to showcase their own skills. As well as being very positive- always allowing teammates to perform without applying pressure. He’s also had a brilliant year of P.E, with all of his hard work paying off. He managed to achieve a very high 3 star award in the 5 star 5 steps programme (just 1 point off 4 stars) and he’s also performed brilliantly in all of our termly challenges. He finishes this year with the best scores for year 5 in the stamina test (276 skips in 2 minutes) and the skill test (186 basketball bounces in a minute). Keep up the fantastic work Tom. 

Laura-Jane- Victoria Infants and Nursery School

Laura Jane has been a superstar all year in her multi-skills sessions. She always listens and is eager to help others out if they are struggling. We have been doing a lot of practicing on our catching and throwing skills along with being able to control a football with our feet and Laura-Jane always tries her best no matter how tricky the challenge is! Since starting multi-skills Laura-Jane’s confidence has grown and she isn’t afraid to try out new things, including hanging from the monkey bars all by herself! 

Well done Laura - Jane!

My athlete of the half term in Honor.

Honor works hard every week in her gymnastics after school program to develop and perfect her skills.

Honor will always offer to help others, whether someone is having difficulty performing a movement, is stuck for choreography ideas or equipment needs setting up, honor is always ready to lend a helping hand! She is a natural born leader who's motivation and determination easily rubs off on others in the group as they look up to her for inspiration each week!

Ali has been excellent this half term with our 5 stars 5 steps programme.  The most pleasing part being his improvement on his personal skills, namely focus and motivation.  He has scored very high on every event excelling on the sprint, vortex throw and triple jump.  Having been to our recent multi skill academy it’s fantastic to see Ali has listened to our feedback and is using his physical potential to its full effect.  Great scores Ali, keep up the hard work and positive attitude. 

Theo- Distington Primary School 

Theo has recently joined Distington school and is in year 2. Theo has been a pleasure in PE, he is polite and always likes to help collect equipment, holds the door open and helps his peers when they are struggling.

His determination, motivation and attitude towards improving his skills is wonderful and is a role model to his peers.

Owen is a highly competitive young man who always puts 100% effort into his sport. That effort has been rewarded in his 5S scores this year as he has managed to smash his last years recordings- and improve across all events! He has matched the top high jump score of 0.85m for his year group from last year and has also beat the fastest hurdles time recorded from last year too- completing the 25m circuit in 12.49 seconds! 

He has managed to score 5 out of 5 stars in sprint & hurdles events and finished overall with a very high 3 out 5 star award. A very impressive achievement for someone in year 3. Fantastic work Owen- well done.

Sienna has been fantastic during this term at school whilst completing her P.E lessons with me. As we have been doing the 5 Star 5 Steps she’s tried her best at all the events and she’s especially done well in her long jump and triple jump !

Fraser- Bridekirk Dovenby School

Having worked with Fraser for a number of years now, his resilience and determination empower me. Fraser loves his sports, espescially football, however has started to loose his eye sight over the past year or so. Fraser joins in every PE lesson and not only encourages himself to compete and develop his skills, but also supports and guides his peers. 

Recently Bridekirk School have invested in sports balls with bells in, which are helping encourage Fraser to listen careful before he reacts, which are helping guide him in the right direction. These have enabled us to try different disability sports, such as cricket and floor football. Fraser has done absolutely amazing adapting to this new world he lives in, and is building confidence every day. We are all so proud of him. 

Harper- St Michaels Nursery and Infants School

Harper showed fantastic leadership during her playtime leaders training this half term. She was able to work well as a team, create 4 active and inclusive games for her class mates and proved herself to be a supportive and confident leader. She showed a good understanding of why it is important to be active during the school day to keep healthy and the importance of sport in developing her mind and body.

His underlying competitiveness was a joy to watch and it’s great to see him striving to win ! His ability to work in teams is fantastic. He is able to listen to ideas from his team mates and he sometimes liked to take charge and be a great team leader ! Most of all, he arrived to every lesson with a smile on his face ready to give the task at hand his best shot!
