The weather can't stop us!  Our PE focus in Autumn 1 was athletics.  We set up circuits inside to work on hurdles, sprinting, aim or throw and javelin.  We took it very seriously!

We looked fantastic, rocking spots everywhere on Friday to celebrate the wonderful fund raising event of Children in Need.  We followed Joe Wicks in his final countdown to achieving a full 24 hours of exercise.
