LUFC NFL Flag Football
Year 6 have been fortunate to be invited to lead on a project with Leeds United, having weekly PE lessons on Flag Football as part of the Unlocking Potential Programme. The programme hosted a celebration event at Leeds Beckett University and invited our Year 6 class to take part. along with attendees from the San Francisco 49ers and NFL Foundation. The session featured a variety of activities, including mini-tournaments designed to encourage participation and skill development. The event was a true celebration of sport, inclusion, and opportunity, and a powerful step forward in unlocking potential across Leeds.
Special congratulations to Stella Yeboah and Oliver Drewery (Year 6) who were each awarded a special trophy at the event as a mark of their potential and effort in the tournament.
Well done Year 6!

Multi-skills Panathlon Event
After successfully qualifying from the South Leeds heat in October, our Y5/6 football team competed against the best teams from across the north/east/west of Leeds at the Leeds United Training Ground on Monday morning.
The boys competed magnificently, going through to the semi finals and losing 2-0 to the eventual winners of the tournament. We are so proud of their achievements in reaching the final 4 schools from a total of over 80 schools that initially entered.
The boys had a wonderful day which was made even sweeter when they met one or two familiar faces (Dan James, Archie Gray and Cryscensio Summerville of Leeds United took time out of their day to speak to the boys and sign shirts and memorabilia). Well done to all involved.

Cricket skills in Year 6
During our PE lessons this half term, Year 6 are developing their understanding and the skills required in cricket. Firstly, the children explored different types of throwing like: underarm, overarm and bowling. As the children became more confident with their throwing, they began to explore how accuracy can be used when throwing and catching. In their most recent lesson, the children learnt how to bat and the skills required to hit the ball accurately. All the children are looking forward to developing their understanding of this sport as the term progresses.
