Sports and Health Week Takes Place
Children from across the school took part in our annual Sports and Health week. What's more it isn't over yet. Due to the postponement of Sports Day last Tuesday, it will go on a little longer!!!
Over the week, children took part in various activities. The aim of the sports element was to try some sports that were new them.
Years 1 to 5 worked with Karate coaches, years 4 & 6 experienced rowing machines while all year groups including the nursery were able to tray sports such as hockey, tennis, golf, bowling, basketball and badminton amongst others. Hopefully some children will take up some of the sports.
Year 5 continued with their hula hooping whereas year 3 were trained in netball by a visiting coach.
Our visiting chef Nick, taught children from different classes how to cook healthily.
There were visits from the school nurse, Alan from Bike-It and also predestrian training.
To finish off the week some year 6 children planned an afternoon of coaching that they did with Reception.
The fantastic weather made a good week even better.
Lookout for photos in the gallery.

Year 6 have started on their Rowing Challenge!!!
Forget the Olynpics or the Boat Race, our children had introductory session with Mr Tellyn from Heworth Grange on how to use their impressive rowing machines.
Over the coming months, they will take part in challenges which will be entered on to computer. From this, league tables from different schools will be drawn up thus making it a real challenge.
The children really enjoyed their first event. It was exhausting but they can't wait for next month and a new challenge.

Dance teacher strikes a move!
Every Monday, a dance teacher from Heworth Grange School called Miss Scott, comes into Roman Road School. Miss Scott teaches year three and year four. She comes at 2:30 pm.
Miss Scott mostly teaches street dance but can do other dances too. Year three and year four practice in the Junior hall. Miss Scott shows us different steps and moves. She comes to help us learn more and get better at things we can’t do in P.E.
Miss Scott uses different music, so we can entertain everyone. It is very important that we learn our positions and steps, because we are going to show the rest of our school in a performance in December.
