Skipping workshop April 2015

We had a fantastic time learning new skipping skills and games when Liz Cox from ‘Skipping Workshops’ came to our school on 30th April 2015.

All of the Year 1 and Year 2 classes had a special skipping lesson and at the end of the day we got to show the whole school what we had learnt. It was brilliant and everyone cheered when we did lots of skips without stopping. We can practise our skipping at lunchtimes and playtimes now as our Midday supervisors learnt new games to play with us.

We learnt to skip on our own, with a partner and even long rope games but the best skipping was learning Double Dutch skipping using two ropes together!  We all agreed it was a great day.

Year 2 Rapid Fire Cricket Tournament

Well done to the Year 2 athletes  who took part in the ‘Rapid Fire’ cricket tournament at the Stour Centre on Thursday 12th March. They  were up against 7 other Ashford schools and did an amazing job at both batting and fielding. Our top scorer was Penny who scored 11 runs in one match. In all they won 2 matches from a total of 7 games and we all had a fantastic day. They showed exceptional team spirit and sportsman like behaviour.

We love Yoga at Downs View!

Mrs.Wright, our yoga teacher takes us on adventures into the jungle or under the sea. We learn how to hold our body shapes still and it takes lots of control and balance. We can make the turtle, the crab, the surfer and many other fantastic body shapes. We can also stretch and move our bodies like a rowing boat or a travelling jeep.
