On 9th March as a school we joined in with the #LetGirlsPlay scheme from England Football and Barclays Bank who wanted to put on the biggest EVER football session for girls in schools and to get as many girls as possible in schools all playing football on the same day!
We had 35 girls from reception to year 6 take part in the session, having a go at some passing, dribbling and shooting skills. The girls got to play a match as well with both matches finishing with a penalty shootout.
If there are any girls that would like to play football outside of school, there is a website created by England football to help you find the nearest girls football session. Use this link to help find the nearest football club
These sessions are called Weetabix Wildcats. These sessions are aimed at children between 5-11 to access football for the first time in a fun filled environment. Please follow the two links below to find out more information.

WOW active sessions
Last Wednesday and Thursday WOW active came into Tanworth in Arden to run their activity programme. Each class had an hour-long session with WOW active and they worked on different exercises to test coordination, agility and physical fitness.
Years reception to 3 did four different activities, whereas years 4-6 did five different activities. Every child was then given a score which they can access online through their logins that were given out at the start of this week. These scores then allocated a challenge card for the children to practise different skills to help them improve their coordination, agility and physical fitness.
WOW active will be returning to Tanworth in Arden in the summer term to do the same activities and give the children the chance to beat their previous score and achieve a personal best.
Throughout the two days the WOW active staff selected children to receive three different certificates: the merit award, the outstanding achievement award and the two highest scorer awards for each class. The winners of each award can be found below. The merit award is for dedication, commitment and great effort show in the session. The outstanding achievement award is for recognition of the technique and ability shown in the session.
Thankyou to all of the WOW active coaches that attended the two days, they were excellent with all the children and made sure they gave encouragement to all children to try their best and to make sure they are following the four sporting values; Be Fair, Be Connected, Be Inspiring and Be Ambitious.

FINALLY !!!! after almost two years, we were able to invite Henley in Arden to play a football match. Both sets of teams were brimming with excitement as for some this was their first ever football match or at least the first in two years.
Both teams played the game in the right way, with lots of great teamwork alongside lots a great football on both football pitches. The respect shown by both sets of players was outstanding and contributed to a great afternoon.
The girls ran away 5-2 winners but the boys were unfortunate to be on the wrong side of a 6-3. Both teams played really well and should be really proud of themselves. Lets hope this is the first of many matches.
Next week sees the return of our interactive home activity tool Bound to Beijing (Travel to Tokyo). Children will be competing in their class groups against each other to try and reach the mountain top in Beijing. Activities which they log at home will be converted into metres travelled and help them along their journey up the mountain top. There will be two prizes for the children to earn sports equipment for their class. The first prize will be given to the class that reaches the mountain top first and the second will be given for the class that reaches the top of the mountain the most times till the winter Olympics finish.
Year 6 won both competitions last year and used their prize money to buy some space hoppers, a balance kit and a catch and pad set for their class to use during break/lunchtimes and golden time. This is the chance for the other years to try and beat year 6 to prize or will Year 6 defend their crown.
The staff will also be taking part in this interactive tool and will logging any activities they do at home.
