Children are expected to participate in all PE activities. Throughout their time at Newsham First School children will have experience of dance, gymnastics, athletics and outdoor/adventurous activities. Our Year 3 and 4 pupils also attend one term of swimming lessons each year at Blyth Sports Centre. Together, these promote the children’s physical development, an awareness and understanding of the body, the development of skill and imagination, and an appreciation of creative performances. Most importantly, the children will gain enjoyment from physical education and pursue sporting activities in their private lives, thus promoting a healthy lifestyle.

We are lucky to be a part of the Blyth/Bedlington School Sport Partnership Programme which opens up many new opportunities for sport to our pupils. Our PE programme is supplemented by a range of after school activities for the pupils including netball, basketball and football. We often send teams to compete in local sporting competitions. |
