Year 4 Tag Rugby Festival

On Friday 17^th March we took a team of Year 4’s to the Rippa Rugby Year 3/4 Tag Rugby Festival. Most of the children in the team have been coming to Tag Rugby club, however, a few came along having never played before. There were 13 schools there, from across Dorset.

The morning session was based on developing skills in a fun and friendly way. The children worked alongside children from other schools and with coaches from local rugby clubs. They worked on their skills of catching, passing, attack, defence and the rules of tag rugby. Our pupils participated fully and really enjoyed the sessions.

After lunch, the schools were divided into two pools for match play. We played six matches and won all six! 

Year 5 and 6 Cross Country

On Monday afternoon, children from the Year 5 and Year 6 were able to take part in a cross country event at Canford School.  This was the first event we have been able to attend since 2019 and the children were all clearly ready for the challenge as they were bursting with both excitement and nervous energy.

The mainly flat, grass course was around 2km and the children definitely rose to the challenge of a race situation. Macie said "It was really enjoyable, fun and there were lovely views. I would definitely do it again." All the children gave it their very best effort and left no energy unused by the time they crossed the line.  We were so proud of the efforts of all the children.  Achievements and goals in running are different for everybody and I think everyone felt proud of their race position. Evie-Mae explained, "I was nervous but I was happier once we started. The area where we ran was interesting and fun."

A particular mention, though, goes to Percy who came second for the Year 5 boys, winning a silver medal and the overall score for the Year 6 girls was very close to winning a team medal.

Year 6 County Finals Netball

Wow! What a tough final! We came 7th overall in the county, which is a phenomenal achievement. The team continued to put in 100% effort throughout the whole afternoon; playing a total of 10 games.

Year 5 Football Festival

Well done to the Year 5 boys, who attended a football festival at Ferndown Upper School, where they played against 7 other teams. This was their first ever game as a team, without any training! The perseverance was incredible to see. Well done!

East Dorset Y6 Netball Tournament

After winning all of their matches and winning the tournament overall, they have secured their place at the county Finals; taking place on Wednesday 30th March! Good luck!

Year 2 Multi-skills

We would like to say a massive well done to Emily who attended a multi-skills event, where she joined a team with another school and represented our school with all the values we expect.

Tag-Rugby Tournament @ Christchurch Rugby Club

During the morning, our two teams played five matches, in their pools, showing spirit, scoring great tries and making superb tackles. Lytchett Reds were put through to the Trophy competition and Lytchett Blues took part in the Plate competition. Overall, Lytchett Reds, undefeated for all of their matches, came a fantastic second in a tightly fought competition for the Trophy and were extremely excited as they collected their medals. Lytchett Blues came fourth in the Plate competition, winning six, drawing three and only losing one of their matches.

Yr6 Indoor Athletics

Our Girls and Boys attended a friendly competition with other Poole schools, where our girls came 1st, and our boys came 3rd.

We then attended our East Dorset School Games, where the competition was fierce. We came 7th overall, and we were very proud off all that they achieved. 

Extra-Curricular PE

At LMPS, we provide a wide range of sporting fixtures throughout the calendar Year. We are affiliated  into PEDSSA (Poole and East Dorset School Sport Association) to provide our Inter School sporting fixtures of which we are in the East Dorset area for all our School Games Qualifiers.

We are very lucky that our staff give up their time to allow us to provide all these sporting opportunities for the children. 

Currently we have these members of staff leading clubs:

Year 3/4 Football: Mr Holroyd and Mr Noyce

Year 3/4/5/6 Netball: Mrs Dominey, Mrs Foster and Mr Noyce

Year 5/6 Football: Mr France and Mr Noyce

Year 5/6 Rugby: Mrs Gould and Mr Noyce

Year 5/6 Cross Country: Mrs Markham and Mr Noyce

Year 3 Swimming: Miss West and Mr Noyce

Curriculum

During our Key Stage 2 PE lessons each child has been given a colour team that they represent for the whole school year. The children are placed into one of the following 6 coloured teams: Blue, Red, Black, Green, Yellow and Orange.

At the end of every half term, once all the skills for the sport have been taught, we hold a mini tournament. The results from each class will then be added the other class in that year group to make a whole year group result table, before finally being added to the main whole school results table. This is located on our PE display board and is updated by our Bronze Ambassadors.

After Christmas, Key Stage 1 children will also be placed in to a coloured team for their PE lessons.

At the end of the Year their we present a trophy to the winning coloured team.

Although we play regular tournaments we always make sure that during our PE Lessons the children are continually trying to demonstrate the School Games values, which are listed below: 

Passion, Teamwork, Honesty, Determination, Respect and Self Belief.

Check this page out to see the achievements of PE outside of school. Well done to everyone.

If you have an achievement to share, please email to Mrs/Mme Markham office@lmpsdorset.co.uk so we can share it on here.

Welcome to the Bronze Ambassadors for the year. They are a mixture of Year 5 and 6 children who have been trained to support the development of PE within the school. They are really excited to share their visions across the school. As Bronze Ambassadors, they feel it is their duty to share their love for sports and fitness through encouraging others, supporting all children in all sports and helping the children and staff to run excellent sporting events. 

Bronze Ambassadors 2021 - 2023

The children feel it is important to be a role model to others by not only striving for their best in sport but also across the whole curriculum. With this, the children are exemplar with their behaviour, attitudes to learning and to each other! 

Their visions are:

• To encourage everyone to participate in physical activity
• To give everyone the opportunity of physical activity for an average of 30 minutes a day
• To provide a wide range of sporting events with a variety of skills and techniques

Project Platinum

We have been working extremely hard to achieve Platinum with our School Games Mark, however, with COVID, this has been on hold. However, we are very excited to have achieved it this year! Check out School Games Mark to see how we have done it. 

Bronze Ambassadors wanted to enable all children to engage in beneficial activities to develop their engagement in physical activity on a regular basis, As the new guidelines state that every child should be active for an average of 60 minutes per day, their idea was to run 2 different half termly activities for each year group, with 3 different levels to each of them. Each year group has their colour that they are aiming for; Year 3 is Bronze, Year 4 is Silver, Year 5 is Gold and Year 6 is Platinum. They have the opportunity to practise and develop their skill at least 5 times a week during the days that they do not have PE. This allows learning without limits and offers the chance for all children to be successful. They also wanted to provide opportunities during break times for children to be more active. 

Children will be recognised for their achievements during half termly assemblies, where the new skills will also be demonstrated.

**Home Learning Project Platinum Challenge**

To ensure that we are keeping active through these times, we have created weekly challenges for you and your family to complete! They will incorporate different skills for fitness and techniques, using equipment around your own homes.

There will be different levels within each category (Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum). What can you achieve? Can you beat other members of you family?

Let the competition begin!

Please send pictures or videos of you completing the activities to osprey@lmpsdorset.co.uk so we can share what you have been doing.

We are delighted to announce that we, Lytchett Matravers Primary School, have achieved the School Games Platinum Mark Award for the 2021/22 academic year. The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward and recognise school's engagement in the School Games against a national benchmark and to celebrate keeping young people active, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.

To achieve Platinum, we have focused on demonstrating how we have developed and maintained 60 active minutes across our school.

As a school, we want to ensure our children are provided with a wide curriculum of sports, with the opportunity to partake in activities for at least 60 minutes a day. From this, we have started Project Platinum for children to take part in an activity during break and lunchtimes, and challenge themselves. We have created a rota where if a class doesn’t have PE on that day, they have 2 slots during that day to partake in PE activities. From this, we have seen an impact on the increase of participation of sports.

Our Bronze Ambassadors have lead this in the playground, where they have supported in creating the challenges, picking what needs to be completed in each level, setting and leading the sessions during break and lunchtimes, and supporting assemblies when the new activities are launched. As a school, we have seen increased participation in sports, in addition to children developing their skills across a range of sports, which they are able to apply within their PE lessons and competitions. There has also been a decrease in the amount of first aid incidents.

We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of physical activity and school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our events possible. We are committed to using the School Games to try and engage those young people who haven’t previously been active or represented our school and to try and ensure that all our students have a positive experience and want to try out new activities beyond school too in our community. We believe in the power of physical activity and school sport as a school and give opportunities to those young people that need it most either as a participant, leader, official or volunteer. As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas linked to the five School Games outcomes, and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.

A special thanks to:

• Mr Noyce - for all your amazing support! Not just for getting Platinum, but for everything you do in our PE lessons and more!
• Teachers – for supporting us in PE lessons and during playtimes.
• My Bronze Ambassadors for being so incredible in creating and working so hard on Project Platinum.

We are looking forward to reviewing it in September and starting it all again with our current and new Bronze Ambassadors. We look forward to applying once again in 2023!

School Sports Funding

The Government have provided funding for schools since 2013, to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision. ‘Schools are free to determine how best to use the funding to improve the quality and breadth of P.E. and sport provision, so that all pupils develop healthy lifestyles and reach the performance levels they are capable of.’ (Gov.co.uk).    

The planned use of the PE and school sport funding at Lytchett Matravers Primary School has been extremely effective in improving and sustaining high quality teaching and learning of PE and sports provision.  

As quoted in our most recent Ofsted report; “The school uses the additional government sport funding very effectively. This has resulted in pupils’ increased participation in sport, and has raised staff knowledge, skills and confidence. This in turn has improved achievement overall in physical education.” June 2015.
