Emscote Infant School
and
All Saints' C of E Junior School
Sport
The afternoon started with us trying to keep cool under a shade whilst having some food to keep up our energy levels. A quick warm-up completely, although we didn't really need warming up any further, then straight into both the track and field events which ran simultaneously. Ourselves and the fellow Warwick school competitors were great at cheering each other on and all of our children were fantastic ambassadors for All Saints'.
Dodgeball ‘Spirit of the Games’ competition
On Tuesday 7th November, 8 children from year 5 took part in a Dodgeball ‘Spirit of the Games’ competition however, this competition was a little different to normal tournaments. This event was not about winning. The children had to judge each team they played against three school games values: Honesty, Respect and Teamwork, and give them 1, 3 or 5 marks depending how well they demonstrated these skills. All the children really enjoyed the morning and made the school proud by showing so many of these values. They came 3rd in the morning heat! Well done J
On Wednesday 25th October, 8 Year 6 children represented the school in a competitive Rowing competition at Campion school. They had to compete in individual events as well as a team relay which requires lots of communication, co-ordination and team work. They all had a wonderful time and represented All Saints’ brilliantly. Well done!
Rowing 4 U
On Tuesday 24th October, 4 Year 6 children represented the school in a Rowing competition at Campion school. They also had the opportunity to try some other sports such as: Boccia, Kurling and Bowls.

Sports for Schools Athlete Event
On Monday 16th October 23, the whole of All Saints’, took part in a Sports for Schools fundraising event. Sports for Schools is a social enterprise that brings the country’s top athletes into schools to encourage children (and teachers!) to be more active. The athlete we were lucky to have in school was Joe Roebuck, a GB Olympic swimmer, ten times British Champion, double commonwealth medallist and London 2012 Olympic semi-finalist. He ran a fitness circuit with every class before leading an inspiring whole school assembly.
A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who helped with the fundraising. The school raised a MASSIVE £1690 for the school which will be put towards new PE equipment. We will let you know of these purchases when we have decided.
On Friday 6th October, 8 Year 5 children were selected to represent our school in a Hockey competition at Warwick School. Before they started the tournament the children went through different drills and activities to practice. The children then played a number of 6-minute games in a tournament against other schools. They played fantastically and represented our school brilliantly. Well done!
A massive WELL DONE to Louie, in year 6, for running the first marathon in the school as part of Marathon Kids. Fantastic achievement!
On Tuesday 21st March, 4 children, in Year 6, went to represent Central Warwickshire in the indoor Rowing Final for ‘Think Active Coventry and Warwickshire School Games’. They entered the final against 11 other schools. Sadly, they didn’t win the competition however they did get the recognition award out of the 12 schools for meeting the commonwealth games values for their amazing effort, team work and dedication! Amazing achievement! They should all be super proud! A BIG Thank You to Mrs Sembhi for taking them.
On Monday 20th March, 8 year 5’s went to Moreton Morrell College to compete in a basketball tournament. They had a super time and came second overall in the competition! Well done team!
On Monday 13th March, 30 year 5’s took part in some leadership training so they can become playground leaders. They did a fantastic job and showed how well they can work in teams. They were able to take games and adapt them to challenge or make things easier for the children involved. The children can’t wait to become play leaders for the school and I know they will do such a brilliant job!
