Sport - Change for Life
The change4life programme has been continuing on a Friday afternoon. The sports ambassadors have carried on their great work from previous terms and are making the games/activities fun for all the children taking part. By making themselves louder and having more confidence, the sports ambassadors are growing socially and it has definitely helped them to have more of a presence in the playground, where they are now looked upon as mini-celebrities by the rest of the children! They're definitely showing signs of being future sports coaches/managers. Mourinho&Guardiola watch out!
This term the sports ambassadors have been overseeing dodgeball. They have been using this game to help the children with their throwing, catching and moving skills, as well as making it great fun and competitive at the same time. To include all these facets into sport isn't easy and for this the sports ambassadors and the children taking part deserve great credit.
This term the sport we are focussing on during the PE sessions in Key Stage 2 is cricket. It has become very popular in the playground with a number of children begging to play it during lunchtime! The bowling, batting and fielding components are helping the children with their hand-eye co-ordination skills which are vitally important. The children in Key Stage 1 are focussing more on throwing and catching different objects, which they have all done well with and have shown a great deal of skill and ability.

Enthusiasm for Sessions is very high
Since coming back after the Christmas holidays, the children have continued the change4life programme (weather permitting) on Friday afternoons.
The enthusiasm amongst the children for these sessions is very high, which is good to see. The year 6 sports ambassadors who run the sessions, are growing in confidence and also full of enthusiasm about the sessions.
They are coming out of their comfort zones and are beginning to put on sports they wouldn't have done previously which is good too see and benefits all the children concerned.
Because of the different sports, the children are learning different skills, which helps with their ability, balance and co-ordination and also gives them increased confidence to try other things.

The change4life sports programme continues despite the weather.
During this term the change4life programme has continued despite the cold weather! The children involved have been real superstars and want to continue the programme even during the rain and snow! This highlights how much fun they are having and how important sport is becoming to them, which is fantastic to see.
The sports ambassadors: Tilly, Sophie, Eva-Marie, Matthew, Bailey and Stanley have been fantastic and are turning into real leaders in the playground. The other children look up to them and are now asking how they themselves can become sports ambassadors.
The sports played this term have included: football, hockey and dodgeball (a real crowd favourite!) which produced much excitement in the playground when it's announced as the chosen sport!
Have a great christmas and we’ll look forward to updating you with our sporting programme once again in the new year; with many exciting sports and activities planned.

Change4life Programme 2017
The children have begun the change4life programme this term at St Benedicts. The sports ambassadors from year 6, Eva-Marie, Sophie, Tilly, Bailey, Matthew and Stanley are running sports sessions every Friday lunchtime with specially selected pupils.
The sessions are very popular and the children are showing lots of passion, enthusiasm and plenty of talent.
The sessions will run all the way through the year with the main aim being to enthuse the children who don’t play as much sport as others, to enjoy playing different games and becoming healthier and fitter, whilst growing their love of sport. (06.10.17)

The change4life sports programme continues
The change4life sports programme has continued after the half-term holiday. Due to the weather being so nice, we have been able to use the field on a regular basis, which gives the sports ambassadors more space and a wider choice of sports for the children to take part in.
The sports which have been played this term include football, athletics and dodgeball. The groups have been alternating,with the year 3/4 group and year 5/6 groups taking part on alternate Wednesdays.
The sports ambassadors have continued to show terrific enthusiasm for sport and excellent leadership skills, with the project proving to be very worthwhile for all involved. We will carry on until the end of the school year, as the children really enjoy it and are gaining lots of confidence and passion for sport.

18th May - Project Update
During this term the children in the change4life programme have been carrying on from where they left off before Easter, by taking part in their sports sessions every Wednesday afternoon. The improved weather has meant the field is now dry enough to play on, which has given the sports ambassadors more options regarding games to play.
So far this term the sports have included: athletics, rounders, hockey and dodgeball. All the children from both key stage 1&2 have tried really hard and have shown lots of enthiusiasm which is great to see.
Again, lots of praise must go to the sports ambassadors who have led the games showing tremendous passion for sport and to help others learn, which is what the project is all about.

22nd March - Lunchtime Sessions
On Weds 22nd March the Change4Life sports programme carried on during lunchtime. Once all the children from the group had eaten and digested their lunch, sports ambassadors Thomas and Beauty began their coaching session.

01st March - Start of Sessions
On Weds afternoon on our first week back from the February half-term break, we re-commenced with our Change4Life programme which has been so popular among the children. The sports ambassadors split up into two groups and hosted separate sessions, meaning all children involved getting a go at each activity.
One group hosted a football session where each child had several goes at dribbling through cones, passing the ball, then getting a chance to shoot at goal. The children really enjoyed this as they love their football. Lots of goals were scored and the celebrations were a sight to behold!
The second group hosted a dodgeball session. Our children have really took to this game and really enjoy throwing, catching and working as a team. Throwing the balls (very soft ones!) at each other also looks to add to the appeal of it! The children play this game with lots of enthusiasm and it really helps them with skills that are important to improve as they grow older.
The Change4Life programme is primarily aimed at the children who don't play much sport inside or outside of school. Our aim at school is for as many children as possible to participate and get the chance to participate, in fun, sporting activities that promote fair play and healthy lifestyles, whilst improving their sporting skills. This programme really helps to do this and will continue throughout the academic year.
