Year 6 - Rowing

On Monday, Year 6 children were given the opportunity to try their hand at rowing! Chris from 'Fit Kidz' came into school with four gym-style rowing machines and taught the children about the best techniques to use. After developing their skills on a 4-minute game (where the speed they were rowing took their fish higher or lower on the screen in order to eat smaller fish and avoid being eaten by sharks), the children then had a go at a rowing sprint for one minute. This required careful co ordination and posture as well as lots of stamina and determination. Well done to Lottie and Robin, who were the fastest in the class, and to all the children who had so much fun whilst keeping fit and exploring a new sport. Thank you to Miss Goble for arranging the activity.
