Sport
At Swarland we see physical development as an integral part of the
children's overall development .Whilst there are constraints on older
children due to pressures from the other aspects of the curriculum in
Reception we are not bound by these and therefore endeavour to have
some form of physical activity everyday. This does not mean that the
children have to get changed every day as this would be too time
consuming.
We do have a P.E. kit we use for more formal P.E. lessons this consists
of a red T- shirt, blue shorts and black elasticated pumps .We do ask that
the pumps are elasticated kind as these give a much better fit and are
therefore safer especially when using large apparatus
All year 2. 3 and 4 children go swimming one session a week. We also
have a designated Dance teacher - Miss Stewart who comes each Friday
every other half term to teach Dance to all classes.
Alongside this we are part of the Alnwick School's Sports Partnership
- which allows schools to have specialist input across a range of
sports, athletics, gymnastics, dance , swimming and small games. We are
a holder of the Sport's Activemark award
and very proud of it.
