​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.

Sports Updates

What a busy week for sports fixtures at South Hunsley.  Firstly we had the Year 6 Hockey Tournament.  There were some hard fought matches and some incredible teamwork.
 “I felt nervous but very excited, it felt really good to be part of a team that has your back.”   Leah Somerset, Year 6.
“We tried our best and we did well.” Harry Demain, Year 6.
“It was good fun and it was competitive!” Alex Dixon, Year 6.

Then it was the turn of the girls for the East Riding Football Tournament.  The girls played some amazing football narrowly missing out on going through to the Humberside round by just 1 point.  

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.
