​Welcome to our PE & Sports Page

At Elloughton Primary School we believe PE & Sport plays an important role in making our vision statement a reality for every pupil, with the potential to change young people’s lives for the better. We have welcomed the Government’s announcement in June 2013 to provide additional funding until 2020 to improve the provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. We are committed in using this resource to develop our high quality PE lessons, alongside creating greater opportunities for our young people to participate in sporting competitions and clubs. 

We receive funding for the PE and sport premium based on the number of pupils in years 1 to 6.  The amount of funding is based upon using data from the January school census.

Year 3 Dodgeball
The cluster Year 3 Dodgeball Competition took place at South Hunsley in an extremely busy and noisy sports hall.  A total of 7 games were played against some very competitive players and coaches! The children worked extremely well as a team and showed unbelievable resilience to get all the opposition out on a couple of occasions. After a long and tiring evening team Elloughton fell short at the final hurdle so sadly didn't qualify for the semi final, however they left with their heads held high after exquisite dodgeball was delivered.
   
Well done to all involved!               #TeamElloughton 

Humberside Cup Round 2​
The football team made the leisurely trip over the Humber Bridge to take on Lincoln Gardens in round 2 of the Humberside Cup.  Both teams played some wonderful football creating chances. Both goalkeepers were in excellent form standing up to everything thrown at them.  As the game wore on Elloughton threw caution to the wind in a bid to break the deadlock however Lincoln Gardens responded by 'parking the bus' in front of goal!  Extra time was a familiar story with neither team able to score the decisive goal.....onto penalties we went.  The first six spot kicks were expertly dispatched until a Lincoln Gardens player slipped on the slippery surface sending the ball into orbit.  The Elloughton players kept their nerve once more to send us into round 3 with a huge sigh of relief.
                      Well done to all involved.     #TeamElloughton

East Riding Girls Football  Finals
The girls football team entered into the finals on the back of a disappointing result in a recent friendly. Preparation and a clear game plan was key to the evening, the girls took to the pitch in a confident and positive mood. This was evident as the girls played some enterprising football and gave every team who stood in their way some real problems, scoring 5 goals in the group stages they swiftly moved into the semi final. Driffield bravely stood up to the challenge but after wave after wave of attacks there was only going to be one winner. The final was contested against Mount Pleasant, straight from the kick off the girls from Elloughton delivered an onslaught on the opposition goal. A well worked short corner resulted in a bullet of a shot flying into the roof of the net, for the remainder of the game the girls kept possession and saw the game out comfortably. To be crowned East Riding Champions is a huge success for the girls and the school, we now move onto the Humberside Finals. Congratulations!!            #TeamElloughton
 

​Girls Football friendly vs Willerby Carr Lane
The girls took on Willerby Carr Lane in a friendly in preparation for the East Riding Finals. Two early goals for the opposition gave the girls an uphill task in the game and despite playing 90% of the game in Willerby’s half they couldn't get past the impressive goalkeeper. Numerous chances were created with clever and intelligent play but it just wasn't to be Elloughton’s night.   Well done to all girls.

Tigers Trust Girls Football
On a cold, crisp Friday afternoon our girls football teams descended on Brough Primary School to take part in the Tigers Trust competition. Both teams played fast flowing football in the arctic conditions and scored some goals that would be fitting on Match of the Day. Elloughton Blues finished a respectable 3rd and were only one goal from finishing higher. Elloughton Reds took home the title of winners after blitzing everyone who stood before them and scored an amazing 16 goals in the process. Huge well done to all the girls who took part.

Humberside Cup
The football team entertained Willerby Carr Lane Primary school in the 1st round of the prestigious Humberside cup. From the 1st whistle our Elloughton players were moving the ball around well and creating scoring opportunities, it wasn't long before the goals started to flow. Willerby did come into the game and scored a couple of well worked goals however it wasn't enough as Elloughton powered through to the next round with a 7-3 win. Well done to all involved!                    #TeamElloughton

Dodgeball

Dodgeball is a high energy, high intensity, non-contact team sport that focuses on the core skills of catching, throwing, movement and agility. Whatever your level of play, Dodgeball can enhance your physical, psychological, social and personal well-being. The game'is loads of fun and absolutely anyone can play.   With the fast pace of dodgeball, a maximum of 12 players and three balls on a small court, it can be a difficult task to referee so honesty is extremely important.  Great teamwork in Dodgeball is achieved through good communication, working as a team in both attack and defence in order to defeat the opponents.  ​Although games are relatively short compared to other sports Dodgeball is still a very physically demanding sport. Showing determination throughout the entire match is very important. 

Rugby Training
Some of our pupils were scheduled to play a tournament at Ionians in Brantingam, unfortunately, some of the teams couldn't make the event, but Tigers Trust very kinldy offered to give our pupils a full training session.

Introduction to Parkour
Year 5 children have been learning about the training discipline of Parkour in P.E. Lessons, using movement that developed from military obstacle course training.   They have learnt how to get from one point to another, using a variety of running, vaulting, jumping and rolling movements.  They are starting to combine these movements, with the eventual goal of creating their own routines.  If your child has enjoyed these lessons, more information about Parkour can be found at: www.parkour.com.  Parkour classes are also available at West Hull Gymnastics club.
