More learning outside the classroom for Class 4

 in Class Four / PE by

Class 4 had an amazing day at Fell Foot this week!

During the morning we worked with ‘Waterwise’ to learn all about how to implement self-rescue and assess a situation before even stepping into the water.  The lake was deeper than usual at this time of year, and colder, but we persevered and our confidence grew during the session.

After a tasty picnic lunch, we enjoyed orienteering and paddle boarding! Not a pencil or pen used all day!

X Country Running at Casterton

 in PE / Sport / Whole School by

This week our intrepid x-country runners braved freezing temperatures and a very challenging terrain to compete in the schools cross country event at Casterton.  After several weeks of attending our Friday running club in preparation and a warm-up event at Dallam School, 10 runners decided to brave the elements to go for gold again.

The photos clearly show their determination, focus and stamina as they raced against over 80 other competitors in each event.  All of our children were overjoyed to share their achievements in our Celebration Assembly this morning and were suitably congratulated by the whole school who were in awe of their courage and resilience.   Two children have also qualified for the county finals coming up later this month.

Thanks to all the family members who supported us with getting the children to the event AND for all the encouragement cheering them along the way on the side lines.

Dallam Dynamites

 in PE / Whole School by

What a brilliant, brilliant afternoon we all had at Dallam on Wednesday.
A crisp, cold, fresh and beautiful day was experienced as our 31 entrants battled against opposition on a very tough course, to do themselves and their school, justice.
Several medals were won, it is true, but an even better outcome was that all competitors, showed guts and determination, remembering everything they had learned and trained for, leaving nothing ‘in the tank’ on their way to the line. Staff and parents in attendance were in awe of what was achieved. To all runners, thank you for showing your best, onwards and upwards!
