2026-2027

Year 1

In PE we have been developing our ball skills by practising our throwing and catching, learning to control the ball and improve our hand-eye co-ordination. We focused on throwing with accuracy, catching safely and working with a partner. We then put our skills into practise through an exciting game of dodgeball, where we demonstrated teamwork, agility, co-ordination and good sportsmanship while following the rules of the game.

YEAR 5

In Year 5, we have been developing our badminton skills by learning how to hold the racket correctly, perform basic serves and practise forehand and backhand shots. We have developed hand-eye coordination, movement and control while learning the rules of the game and playing rallies with a partner as well as having great fun playing mini tournaments.

2025-2026

Year 1

During this autumn term Year 1 took part in Tatty Bumpkin yoga sessions, which is imaginative story-based movement activities designed to build strength, balance and co-ordination. The sessions invited children to move through fun poses, breathing exercises and calming routines linked to a weekly adventure. The children enjoyed exploring their creativity, focus and positive well-being in a playful, engaging way.

Year 2

Throughout last term, the Year 2 children were fortunate to work with a cricket coach who taught them the rules, skills and tactics involved in playing cricket over a number of weeks. During these sessions, the children developed their batting, bowling and fielding skills, while also learning the importance of teamwork and good sportsmanship.

For the final week, the children took part in an extremely exciting session. Our coach organised a special game of glow-in-the-dark cricket, which made the experience even more memorable. The children had so much fun and thoroughly enjoyed showing off the cricket skills they had developed throughout the term.

Year 3

We have enjoyed working with a coach from South Shields FC to develop our team playing skills. Over a few weeks, we have developed a basic game of dodgeball into a more complex benchball by adding rules and learning how to work in a team to score the highest amount of points possible.

Year 4

Basketball skills

This term, Year 4 have been developing their basketball skills in PE. Pupils have been learning how to dribble, pass, and shoot with control and accuracy, as well as how to work effectively as a team. Through fun games and skill-based activities, they’ve built confidence, improved coordination, and enjoyed putting their new techniques into practice during mini-matches. Well done, Year 4, for your enthusiasm and great teamwork on the court!

Year 5

Gymnastics

BENCH BALL

Over the course of this half-term, year five have been playing the game of bench ball. We have developed the game by coming up with a series of rules, focusing on different skills and then specialising in positions. The children really enjoyed our PE sessions, displaying fun and sportsmanship.

Year 6

Basketball

In PE, we’ve been developing our basketball skills — learning key techniques, teamwork and enjoying some exciting games on the court!

2024-2025

We used the parachute in PE today to help us with our listening to instructions. First we travelled around the outside of the parachute and then found a handle each. We practised lifting the parachute together and listened for the special word that signalled us to shake the parachute. We then all took turns running under the parachute when it was floating up high.

Ball skills

Today we practised our ball skills in PE. We rolled the ball to our partner, gradually moving further apart as we became more confident. We then stood up to throw and catch the ball with our partners, first close together, then again moving further apart to try throwing and catching across a longer distance.

Reception

Yoga

We are enjoying having a yoga instructor this half-term in PE! We are learning some yoga positions whilst listening to stories about Tatty Bumkins. We are enjoying exploring new ways to move our bodies whilst we make ourselves stronger.

Gymnastics

We are developing our basic gymnastic skills through the topic of 'animals and their habitats'. Children are exploring creating shapes, balances and jumps. We have been travelling through the rainforest learning basic shapes, tuck, straight and star using themes of the rainforest.

A straight shape as tall as the trees in the rainforest

A tuck shape as small as a rock on the rainforest floor

A star shape as wide as the rivers that run through the rainforest

In Reception, we are enjoying doing the Daily Mile every day. We like to observe the changes that exercise does to our bodies. We identified that exercise makes our heart beat faster and gets our bodies all warm. We are building up the amount of laps we do every day!

Year 2

Ball Skills:

During autumn term we have been exploring and developing our skills when working with balls. We have used different parts of our bodies, including our hands and feet, to move and travel with balls of various sizes. We have thought about how the positioning of our feet can help us when throwing and made targets with our hands to help guide catching. We've also explored simple tactical games involving balls.

Year 3

This term we have been working with a coach from South Shields FC. We have been learning about team work, tactics and developing our ball skills. It is a lot of fun and certainly gets us out of breath!

Year 4

Basketball

Year 4 have enjoyed the challenge of developing a range of tactics in our basketball sessions.

Year 5

This term we have been developing our ball skills and team work skills. This has allowed us to become skilled at tactics as well as developing greater ball control.

Gymnastics

We are developing our gymnastic skills this term! We also love the weekly balance challenges!

Football League 2023-24

Our wonderful Sea View Football Team took part in their first match day as part of our local league, competing with local schools.

They worked brilliantly as a team and stayed positive. They have made their school very proud!

2023-2024

Nursery

For our hall time this week, we continued the theme of body parts. Our objective was to develop balance whilst both stationary and on the move. We warmed up by moving at different speeds and in different directions. We then moved around the space and when the teacher named a body part, we had to stop safely and touch that body part to the floor.

We practised our team work and co-operative skills in a classroom PE session. We listened to instructions and were able to work together to raise the parachute, keep the ball moving and even to run and cross over underneath.

We competed against each other in our obstacle race where we had to jump in the tyres, balance on the planks, move through the hoop, jump off the crate and balance the quoit on our heads to the finish line. We used lots of our skills of balance and weight transference to complete the course.

Reception

We are enjoying having a PE coach this half-term. We are learning ball skills, dribbling, throwing and kicking and improving our hand-eye coordination.

In PE we are learning basic principles such as freezing on command, using and sharing equipment and working individually and with a partner. We are also learning to develop movement skills such as running, jumping and skipping.

Year 1

This half-term we have been working on sending and receiving objects. We have been practising our throwing and catching skills and kicking and stopping a ball with our feet.

Gymnastics

We have loved our start to gymnastics this term! We have been learning different jumps, such as pike, straddle and star.

We enjoyed using the equipment and putting our jumps in to practice. As well as working on our balance and co-ordination in different ways!

Year 2

Dance

In PE this term, we have had a dance coaching helping us develop our skills. We have been learning lots of different skills around dance. Our lovely coach has taught us how to listen to music and count the beats which we have then added movements to. We have been working on our teamwork skills during our dance sessions, as we have been working in teams to collaboratively make a short sequence of steps and then incorporate them into a short routine to fit different genres of music.

Year 3

This term we have been working with a sports development coach from South Shields FC. We have developed our game play each week to create rules that make the game more interesting and sometimes a little trickier! We look at tactics, space and teamwork as part of our sessios.

Year 4

We have enjoyed the first of our yoga sessions this term. We are already perfecting lots of yoga stances!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Hoopstarz session! We learnt how to hula-hoop by moving and positioning our bodies correctly. We then developed different hula hoop techniques, such as jumping with our hoops and making them spin and return to us! We ended with a team challenge to build a house using the hoops.

Year 5
