Autumn 2020
The whole school from Reception to Year 6, including staff, took part in the National Santa Dash. This took place on the 11th December when we joined thousands from across the country for the School Games Virtual Santa Dash.
This half term we have been taking part in the School Games 15 minute challenge - each week the children from Class2, 3 and 4 have been using their Daily Mile time to run/walk for 15 minutes. We have recorded their distances each week and noted individual improvements from November to the end of term - it has been great to see how many children have improved on the distance they have run and so we are aiming to continue this challenge during the rest of the school year. Certificates were awarded for those who had improved the most.
***FRONT ROOM FITNESS**** In these difficult times it is important that we remain as fit and healthy as possible but the weather and the changing of the clocks has made it more difficult. Sally Harris, our Parent Governor, has developed a short daily challenge that can be done inside without any equipment. Each exercise takes 30 seconds and ideally needs to be done 3x each day and can be recorded and brought into school each week so we can select a weekly class winner.

Ash class are warming up ready for their PE session - they have been practising their Long Jump and Shuttle Run laps- the scores have been submitted to our School Games cluster for the first Autumn Primary School Challenge.
Many congratulations to the 4 Cockshutt Sports Leaders who have been elected by their fellow classmates to represent all of Cockshutt Primary School children. We have lots of sporting ideas on our agenda to keep all the children fit, healthy and happy so the team are going to be very busy!
We have begun our inter school competitions in earnest at Cockshutt beginning with New Age Kurling. This consists of 2 teams of 4 competing against one another - points will go towards our first inter-school cluster competition and also towards an Intra-school (House) competition. The children are also practising their Standing Long Jump skills and running a Shuttle Run which we will enter into our School Cluster Primary Challenge.

School Games 2020/21
Although we are unable to go out of school to compete in sports events at the moment we are lucky enough to have our School Games Organiser and School Cluster Organiser arrange events whereby we take part in school and then send in our results - these competitions include all our Key Stage children from Year 3 to Year 6.
The first event is the Primary School Challenge which involves a Shuttle Run and a Standing Long Jump competition which we have begun to collect scores for in school, our second event is New Age Kurling which will soon be starting in school. Our third event is the Back to School Games Competition organised by our North Shropshire SGO Mollie Croxon. The results of this will be entered online to a regional (North Shropshire), County and National School Games competition.
