PE Enrichment Opportunities
At Woodnook, we are part of the School Sports Partnership. We have children from both KS1 & KS2 participating in Core events and school games events including inclusion events. This gives children of all ages the opportunities to represent our school whilst staying active, trying new sports and being part of a team. When attending these events, the children are given the opportunity to wear our school kit, as shown below.
Further to this, we offer other exciting opportunities through our PE enrichment opportunities.

As part of PE this year, each class will have the opportunity to create a performance with a professional dance instructor. They will learn a routine and the importance of teamwork and co-ordination.
Each class will learn and perform a dance linked to an area of their class curriculum.
Accrington Stanley Shirt Give-away
In Autumn Term, the children in Year 3 visited Accrington Stanley football club, where they toured the pitch-side, met the players and were given a goody-bag to take away!
They had a lot of fun meeting some of the players, chanting and waving their flags!

This Girl Can!
Four of our Year 6 girls went to an event in Clitheroe with Miss Del Mar and participated in a orienteering treasure hunt which we won! They played glow in the dark dodgeball and participated in a yoga session. We had a brilliant afternoon getting active :-)

Fitness Challenges with Michael Churm
Michael Churm , a paralympic athlete, visited our school. Every class took part in a range of fitness challenges with him and he led an inspiration assembly. The message of the assembly was "To NEVER give up."
Party in the Park
Year 3 children took part in this event, which included lots of activities including a colour run.
Play Leaders
This year 12 of our Year 5 children volunteered to become play leaders. They all had a full afternoon of training with Stacey Roscoe (Assistant School Games Organiser)
The play leaders have the responsibility to deliver fun games to younger students at lunch times.
They are doing an amazing job :-)
Play Detectives
Our play detectives had to apply for their role in school.
Their role is to go out at lunchtime once a week to investigate play in our school at lunchtime. They take photos of our zones where children are immersed in play and ask questions to find out what the children love about play at Woodnook and what they would like to have more of.
Their job is very important to make sure we have happy, independent, curious and inquisitive children through play.
Here are some of the wonderful reasons why our children wanted to become a play detective:
"I think I would be a good play detective because I want to walk around the play grounds watching children have fun" - Aleena
"I think I have interesting ideas how to play in the different zones around the play grounds." -Divina
"I will listen in meetings and keep everyone safe." - Hareem
"I would like to take pictures of children playing and having fun at lunchtimes." - Minahil
"I will be a good play detective because I love playing in the sandpit with the reception so will take pictures." - Aminah
