• National Sports Week

  Tue 02 Jul 2019 Miss Norman

  Last week was a very busy week for Grange Park Junior School. It was National Sports Week, which meant we had a range of different activities going on throughout the week. On Monday Year 6 got the chance to try out BMXing, on Tuesday Year 4 showed off their Taekwondo skills, on Wednesday the Year 3s were trying to hit 'holes in one' in a Tri-golf taster session and on Thursday the Year 5s had their fitness tested in a boxing session. 

   

  We were very lucky to have great weather all week which meant all of the children also had the opportunity to run a mile each day, which they did with much enthusiasm.

  The fruit stall was a big success for the third year in a row with lots of children bringing money in to purchase a pot of fruit or a banana. Now lets continue this healthy trend by children bringing in their own healthy snacks each break time.​

   

  Lastly, thank you to all the parents who attended the mindfulness sessions with Miss Phillips, we hope you feel relaxed and recharged for the summer ahead.

• Year 3 Gymnastic Taster Session

  Tue 21 May 2019 Miss Norman
  On Monday 20th April all of Year 3, plus some very lucky Year 4s, got to take part in a gymnastics taster session. The children got to practice some basic gymnastics skills such as shapes, jumps, rolls and even headstands. The children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the session and it was a great chance for them to revisit skills that they had learnt back in the autumn term. 

• Year 5 Intrahouse Basketball

  Fri 10 May 2019 Miss Norman
  On Friday 10th May Year 5 took part in a basketball inter-house competition. Once again the sports crew were there to assist with the organisation, referring and media sides of the competition. The teams battled hard through the competition with quite a few of the matches finishing with draws. ​In the end there were two winning teams, Anning and Newton, who were both tied on 5 points. Well done to everyone who took part.

  

• Queens Park Rangers Tournament

  Fri 10 May 2019 Miss Norman
  On Thursday 9th May ten Year 5 children travelled to Loftus Road, Queens Park Rangers Stadium to take part in a football and tag rugby tournament. This was a very special opportunity for a number of different of reasons. Firstly, the tournament took place on the ground’s football pitch, an experience that our children will never forget! The children also got to enter the pitch through the same tunnel the players do. Finally, the tournament was led by the children, they were in charge of the positions, formations, subs and refereeing. There were no scores kept, meaning no winners or losers, it was about the children being able to play, try his best and have fun. 

  Throughout the day awards were given to different for schools for the best joke, best celebration and the best magic moment. Grange Park won an award for the best song which they made up themselves on the journey to the stadium. 

  I was so proud of how the children took control of their team and showed respect to each other as well as the other teams, they were a real credit to our school.
