Sports Leaders
The Year 6 children took on the roles of being sports leaders this half term. They planned their own clubs, resourced and delivered them to the younger children in school. They all demonstrated excellent leadership skills and the younger children had lots of fun too! We will miss our Year 6s next year.
Orienteering
Lots of Key Stage 2 children took part in a fun orienteering activity at Cottingham, alongside other schools. They used their maps to retrieve letters around the field, learning accuracy and map reading skills. What a great evening!
Kwik Cricket
The children headed to Cottingham High (despite the rain!), ready to play cricket. They were up against some fierce competition and played their hearts out. There was some great batting and fielding, and Little Weighton came a valiant second.
Sports Day
Thankfully the rain held off and the sun tried to come out for our sports evening. The children arrived ready in their team colours and with mascots in tow. The fun began with field events for KS2 and track events for KS1, later swapping around. There was plenty of determination, lots of cheering each other on and some great personal bests. All the children did themselves proud, with blue team finally lifting the sports day trophy this year. Well done everyone and a big thanks to all the adults, ex pupils and friends of school who all helped out!
Sporting Values
Throughout sports evening the teachers were on the look out for children who demonstrated our sporting values of passion, determination, teamwork, self belief and respect. The children were recognised for these in our assembly today.
Kepplewray Residential - May 2024
The year 5/6 and 3 teachers were all very excited to head for the Lake District this week. We took part in lots of exhilarating activities from crate staking and archery to paddling boarding and ghyll scrambling. The children pushed themselves out of their comfort zones, tried things they never thought they would and learnt a lot about teamwork and communication. Everyone returned tired and but with lots of amazing memories. Head over to Class 3 page to see photos of the fun!
Quad Kids May 2024
This time the event was open to all of Key Stage 2 (year 3/4/5/6) and we took 17 children to compete in the quad kids event. They all completed a standing jump, howler throw, sprint and distance run. It was a lovely sunny (but windy) evening and the children all showed determination, resilience and a great sporting attitude throughout. The year 3/4 team finished in 3rd place, with the year 5/6 finishing in 2nd place in their respective age groups. Some great results!
Netball - April 2024
The mixed netball competitions are always popular and this year was no exception. We took 2 teams of keen participants, who grew in confidence and success as the event went on. They scored well, defended well and worked together as an effective team. Little Weighton finished the evening with a very respectable 3rd place.
Magic Moments
Thankfully the rain stopped just in time for the rugby to start! This weekend some of our pupils. parents and teachers headed to the home of Hull FC to cheer them on against Leeds Rhino! First we visited the lounge for a bit of face painting, balloon modelling and relaxing. It was then time to head onto the pitch to wave the flag (unfortunately we got the Leeds one!) before the rugby started. A good game followed, with only a narrow defeat for the home side. A fun afternoon for everyone!
Cross Country Finals
Five children made it through the first round to the cross country area finals. They were both excited and nervous, but all did Little Weighton proud, with excellent performances all round. Well done!
Tri Golf - February 2024
We headed to Cottingham High to try our hand at tri golf. We had a bit of coaching and then competed in teams in different putting and chipping challenges. We had great fun and progress to the next round in a few weeks time.
Sports Hall Athletics - January 2023
After a taster session in school from Cottingham High staff, the children were excited to go and compete against other schools. The children all put in 100% effort and were keen to try all the events - given the chance they would have tried them again and again! Excellent results in all the relays, throwing, jumping and speed bounce.. Well done team!
Year 5/6 Dodgeball Tournament - December 2023
The year 5 and 6 children headed to Cottingham for an inter-school dodgeball tournament. It didn't take them long to get into the swing of it and they held their own against the most fierce opponents. They didn't stop running.....or smiling, winning and drawing lots of games. Overall they finished an excellent 4th place. It was lots of fun! The teachers loved watching too (and were secretly wishing they could join in!) - well done team!
Girls Football Tournament
The girls have been practising their skills at lunchtime and in club, ready to take to the pitches at Cottingham High School against other local schools. With Harper valiantly taking on the role of goalkeeper, we were ready! We grew in confidence as the games went on, with some super running, dribbling and tackling! The team ended up a respectable 3rd and showed lots of team spirit along the way! Well done girls!
GB Athlete Visits Little Weighton - October 2023
Commonwealth & Invictus athlete, Sean Gaffney visited Little Weighton. Sean led a sponsored fitness circuit with all pupils and then shared his story in an assembly. He talked about overcoming adversity, about never giving up and his motto of 'Be good today, be better tomorrow.' He answered lots of questions from the children too.
The aim of the event was to inspire the pupils to be more physically active and to encourage them to discover and pursue their passions in life.
The athlete event was fantastic for connecting the pupils to an extraordinary athlete role model and gave us the opportunity to raise money to improve physical activity in the school, whilst also supporting both athletes and para-athletes, so that they can continue to inspire the next generation.
Cross Country - Autumn 2023
What a great start to the sporting year! Great effort and determination from all the children who went from Little Weighton, running a very long way without giving up!!! Some excellent personal results too with Annabelle coming 2nd in the year 3/4 race and a clean sweep in the year 5/6 girls with Leonie 1st, Harper 2nd, Isobel 3rd and Evie 5th! All these children will qualify for the next round! Well done everyone!

For the first time maybe ever, or for a very long time, we were able to field 2 teams at the recent dodgeball event! This was thanks to the enthusiasm of the year 5 and 6 children! Well done to everyone who took part - there was some powerful throwing and super dodging and we were unlucky not to get through to the next round.

Autumn Athletics
It was a nice sunny autumn day so we took the opportunity to take our athletics outside. Class 1 have been working on their running and jumping skills so this week it was throwing.

The wind made things a bit tricky at times but we improved our throws throughout the lesson.

An excellent effort!

Santa Dash (and the International Space Station)
It was 'National Christmas Jumper Day' so we all donned our Christmas jumpers and combined it with being active and having fun. We spotted Santa on our school field so went on a Santa dash, with prizes for the first to catch Santa! We completed lots of laps around the field, with Class 2 and 3 adding it to their tally on their mission to reach the International Space Station - 254miles. After weeks of running they made it! Super effort from all the children (and staff too!)

They were a credit to the school in their attitude and support of one another, running each other to the finish line even when it wasn’t their race. A special mention to Harper who finished 2nd in her category and progressed to the next stage! Great effort all round!
