The Billesley blast was launched last week and to aid the teachers we have set up a circuit of exercises that are easily accessible and can be done standing up.

Situated around our playground are 6 simple exercises that all the children can have fun taking part in while improving their physical and mental state.

Wednesday 7th November Billesley entered their first Panathlon. A Panathlon is a series of activities set up in a circuit in which the children play each one for a certain amount of time, then rotated so that they play everyone.

The activities included Boccia, New age Kurling and lots of other adapted activities.

We took a squad of 6 children who thoroughly enjoyed their experience.

Kane said “I’ve never been given a medal before”

The children experienced a wide range of skills and challenges throughout the day.

On Monday 5th November we were given the brilliant opportunity to be coached by some newly trained coaches. It is a program that focuses on girls engagement and enthusiasm for Tennis. We took a mixture of 18 very excited year 1 and 2 girls.

The girls were ecstatic to be traveling on a double decker bus.

They were introduced to many different skills using lots of equipment and methods.

The girls then finished with a relay race testing the skills they had learnt.

Aleeza said “I really enjoyed when we had to get into groups and work as a team to do the skills”.

Thank You so much to Claire from Edgbaston Priory Tennis for inviting us and giving the girls such a brilliant opportunity and experience.
