Priory Infants hosted an exciting Multi-Sport Festival for Year 2 children.

14 children from Priory Infants proudly represented the school and took part in a series of activities including skittles and dodgeball. For most of these children it was the first time that they had participated in an inter-school sports event and they all did extremely well. They demonstrated self-belief and determination to do their very best and all the children were successful in scoring points in the process of developing their fundamental movement and ball skills. It was clear to see the children become more confident throughout the festival and most importantly everyone had fun!

All the children received a Multi-Sport Champion certificate for their tremendous efforts!

Priory Infants emerge as the Thanet KS1 Squash Champions!

As the annual Key Stage 1 Squash Competition commenced, a determined team of Year 2 children from Priory Infants began their quest to succeed in a series of squash related activities. The children were immensely excited and couldn’t wait to get started. They had great fun participating in enjoyable games that focused on the fundamental movement skills of agility, balance and co-ordination. It was fantastic to see the children working as a team to build points, as they developed their skills throughout the competition. Although the most important thing was that the children had fun and demonstrated the sports values, they were extremely happy to find out that they had been victorious and won the event! Well done to all of the Priory Infants team!

Squash Competition

On Thursday 6th March, Priory Infant School hosted the annual Thanet Passport Coola-to-Hoola Festival, where six local schools came together to share an afternoon of hula-hooping activities. The festival provided an opportunity for the children to take part in lots of fun activities, as well as develop their understanding of the importance of leading healthy, active lifestyles.

The children competed in a series of fun activities, some of which were individual events and others that were team events. These included classic hula-hooping, hoop skipping, hoop rolling, hoop tossing, and fun games, such as ‘crossing the swamp’.

The children had all been practising during their playtimes demonstrating their desire to improve and achieve. It was fantastic to see their passion and determination, as they confidently tackled each activity, achieving some incredible individual and team results. The concentration on their faces was matched with beaming smiles, as a sense of pride was clearly evident and most importantly everyone was having FUN!

Mr Holmes was exceptionally proud of the children who represented Priory Infants and the medals presented to them at the end of the festival were well-deserved.
