New KS1 Playground!

Thanks to our Sports Funding we have new KS1 playground equipment installed! Our Reception and Year 1 children finally got to test it out on Friday! They were so excited beyond words!! I am please to say they gave it their big seal of approval.

Comments from our children were: "It will make us fit and stronger. I am already strong!" (Reception pupil) "I liked the new trim trail. I liked the swinging steps and rocky bridge." (Reception pupil) "I liked the bumpy slide, it was exciting!" (Year 1 pupil) "I loved all of it!" (Reception Pupil) "It will give us exercise." (Year 1 Pupil) "We follow the rules to keep us safe!" (Year 1 pupil).

Alternative Sports Morning - 21st September 2020

Thanks to our amazing School Games Organiser, Kensworth Academy were extremely lucky to take part in a full morning of non-stop sports. Activities included a bouncy assault course, football, rugby, tennis, dance, scooters, golf and boccia. The children could not stop smiling, laughing and displaying fantastic sports skills and sportsmanship. Children were kept in their year group as they moved around the carousel of activities. It was a spectacular morning!

Joy of Moving Home Festival - 19th May 2020

Given the times we’re currently in, we knew our children were unlikely to get to have fun at their sports day this year, so we decided to take part in Joy of Moving Home School Festival! The children took part in a fun afternoon involving lots of games and activities to help get the children active.
