Sport

We strive that every child will have the opportunity to represent their school before they leave in Year 6. As part of the South Ribble Sports Partnership Primary schools, we promote a love of sport and being active, as well as being competitive. Some of the events that we enter are competitive and some are specifically not, so that everyone can have the opportunity to be a St Mary Mag's ambassador. This page of our website is dedicated to showcasing sporting activities outside of our normal provision and school day.

Year 2 Multi Skills Event

Today we were delighted to welcome medal winning Olympian, Daniel Purvis, to our school. He entertained us during an assembly with his gymnastic skills and his story of how to become the best person that you can be. He told us to enjoy what we done and to never give up.

We watched his medal winning Olympic routine and the children all saw his bronze team medal from the 2012 Olympic Games.

Each class then spent time with Daniel as he put our children through their paces during circuit time.

It was a wonderful day and one that we will never forget.

Year 4 Pupil-

It was amazing! Everything was amazing, the tennis, the centre, just everything.

Jump Rope

The children enjoyed the chance to try a new sport this week, with Chris the Jump Rope Coach teaching the children basic skipping skills. The children perfected these skills to help them to perform tricks. The event was loved by staff and children alike, as you can see from some of the pupils comments.

Year 4 pupils-

I can now do a skipping trick.

It was so much fun.

I can now skip backwards.

Year 6 pupils -

It was a great opportunity to learn new skipping skills.

I know that if I slow down when I am skipping I can skip for longer and will win the competition.

It was amazing.
