PRIMARY ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIPS

On the 23th of June and the  7th and 11th of July the Bromley Schools Sport Partnerships held their annual Primary Athletics Championships. It was a fantastic turn out with 29 Schools competing over the 3 days with over 1000 pupils participating. Pupils competed in heats throughout the morning which determined which finals they contested in the afternoon and also how many points they could accumulate. Schools also competed over various relays throughout the day with the results and points won added to their totals. Unfortunately the Small schools finals was hit by rain with results being decided on times from the heats.  Congratulations to the winners of the Athletics:  Chislehurst, Oak Lodge and Parish. Also the mixed relay was incorporated into the day with congratulations to Edgebury, Crofton and Parish on their triumphs.

 

SKIP A THON AT BALGOWAN PRIMARY

On the 1st July Balgowan Primary school took part in a Skip a Thon as part of National Sports Week. It was aimed on the 2012 Olympics and therefore the target for each class was to work together to do at least 2012 skips. It was also about achieving your personal best which all of the students managed.  It was especially good for those who could not skip before the Skip a Thon as they went away being able to skip. Well done to all the children who took part in this event.

DAY ONE OF THE 1956 MELBOURNE OLYMPIC TORCH

During the morning of the 27th June the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Torch travelled around Bromley primary schools to show the children the torch and to tell them the importance of the Olympic values and trying their hardest to achieve their personal best. The children learnt about the Olympic torch, watched a video clip about the Olympics and then listened to some talented football teenagers who shared their experiences and told them how they wish to improve and aim to reach their personal best over the next couple of years. We visited St James’, St George’s, St Mark’s, Highfield Infants and Juniors and Pickhurst Infants and Juniors. 

 

MINI YOUNG AMBASSADORS PROGRAMME

On the 11th May 35 pupils from 14 different Primary schools from the Kelsey Park, Hayes, Glebe and Bullers Wood and came together for the final session in the Mini Young Ambassadors programme. Pupils were challenged to spread the Olympic and Paralympics values and highlight how their schools could get involved and use the Get Set Network. Pupils were taken through the ‘Go Global’ resources and asked to go back to their schools and lead other pupils in the games they had learnt from around the globe. Pupils enjoyed the game and were asked to inspire others to get involved and live their lives according to Olympic and Paralympic values.

 

KELSEY PARK STUDENTS TOUR OLYMPIC PARK

Eight pupils along with Mr Hollidge and Mr Wilkinson made the short trip by the Docklands Light Railway to visit the Olympic Park in Stratford.

The visit was organised through the school signing up to the ‘Get,Set 2012 Network’, and pupils were chosen on their inspirational work in PE and their sports leaders course. They were then driven around the sight to view the Impressive Olympic Stadium, Aquatic centre, Velodrome, Handball Arena, Basketball Arena and the Olympic Village. As the tour was conducted pupils were given information about the site and the vast regeneration that has gone into making the site one of the most eco friendly in the Modern Olympic era. The site also includes accommodation, a school, a hospital and the biggest shopping centre in Europe. Not only will the site host the Games it will leave a Legacy with which British athletes will have opportunities to train and compete in readiness for Global competitions.

The pupils enjoyed their day out and it has inspired them to increase the sports leaders work they have been doing and they aim to enthuse others and take a lead in  spreading the Olympic message and values.

LANGLEY PARK GIRLS SCHOOL SPORTS LEADERS

Langley Park School for Girls Sports Leaders are currently going into Bromley Road Infant school to deliver a sports programme called Go Global to their Reception and Year 1 pupils. The games capture activities or aspects of different countries allowing pupils to become more aware of cultures or links to those countries. They will be visiting Bromley Road Infants for the next few weeks to deliver these games, and will then hopefully visit other primary schools to share these activities.
 
These are write ups from 2 members of the LPGS Sports Leaders:
 
Noive, Year 10:
A small group of us went to Bromley Road Infant School as part of the Go Global Scheme. We taught 15 year 1 children. We started off with warm-up games and activities then did a game from Africa called the Boa-Constricta. It was a lot of fun and it looked like the children enjoyed it too! Our whole group would love to do it again!”
 
Nicola, Year 10:
“When we arrived at the school we set up our equipment before the children came in. After Miss Hamlett introduced us we started our warm-up games. We then played our Go Global game which was from Ghana. The children enjoyed all the games as they were really active. To cool them down we played ‘sleeping lions’. I am sure they loved the games as much as we did teaching them!”
 

BASKETBALL

On Wednesday 9th March the Bromley SSP held the annual Basketball Finals at the impressive Crystal Palace Sports Centre.
