Sport
Welcome back!
After an amazing summer of National and International sport to watch, I would love to hear what sports and activities you have been up to! I have already heard about children swimming, horse riding and going to the park 
. Come and tell me if you haven't already!
Hawthorn Tree has a wonderful year ahead of sporting opportunities for you all and I hope you will make the most of them!
We want you to try and be active for at least 60 minutes a day this year! This will help you build an active healthy lifestyle! We want you to think about your activity levels and what opportunities you have throughout the day to be more active from the moment you wake up, to when you go to sleep at night! Watch this space for lots of ideas!
Look out for our Clubs letter coming out soon too!
Keep moving!
Mrs Ingamells

Netball Development - 16th March 2023
Ten children from Years 3 and 4 had the opportunity to practice their skills at a Netball development event at Boston High School. This was part of the Boston and District School Sports Partnership. Boston High School students led the children through a number of practices which looked to develop shooting, passing, defending and dodging. Our children focused well and tried extremely hard to get the most out of the exercises. Towards the end of the event, the children played in some friendly games against other schools. Having had a taste of Netball today, our children are keen to continue practicing at school in the hope of building a school team!

Our Amazing Cross Country runners, ran in The Boston and District Sports Partnership Event in less than desirable conditions! Even with wet, windy and cold sleet to contend with, all of our runners finished and should be incredibly proud of themselves. If you can run in conditions like that, you can run in anything! Thanks to Mrs Tyler and Miss Blackford for taking the children and keeping them motivated.
Ten children from Year 3 had the opportunity to attend a Gymnastics Development event through the Boston Sports Partnership at Boston High School yesterday with Mrs Ingamells. Students from Boston High School had planned a circuit of activities for the children to take part in. This included practising dismounts from a trestle table, jumping using a springboard, artistic gymnastics with ribbons and hoops, beam work, and floor work including forward rolls, straddle rolls and bridges. The range of activities was a great showcase for getting involved in gymnastics. The children really enjoyed themselves and represented the school brilliantly.
Amazing hula hooping!
Exploring different hula hoop skills! Can you skip with one too?
Well done to our after school club Kurling team for recently winning both of their matches vs. Staniland and Wyberton. We are now top of our group league table! You can view the league tables through the link below.

Please come and see me and let me know how you have stayed active this summer! We went on lots of walks as a family and played lots on our trampoline. On hot days we also had lots of fun with water in our garden!
Our Year 6 TOP-UP Swim Programme is underway this week, supported by Boston and District School Sport Partnership and Geoff Moulder Leisure Complex.
Our children in need of this opportunity go swimming every day this week, aiming to work towards being able to swim 25m.
All primary schools must provide swimming and water safety lessons in either Key Stage 1 or 2.
Each pupil is required to be able to do the following:
- Perform safe self-rescue in different water based situations
- Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
- Use a range of strokes effectively, for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke.
Welcome back! I hope you had a great Easter holiday and kept active! Come and tell me what you have been up to!
Year 3 and 4 Netball Development Event at Boston High School - Wednesday 2nd March
Some of our Year 3 and 4 children had the chance to have a go at netball at the Boston and District Netball Development Event on Wednesday 2nd March. Boston High School Sports Leaders put them through their paces, introducing them to passing, shooting and movement skills used in the sport of netball. Our children really enjoyed themselves and are keen to continue giving it a go when they get back to school!
Cross Country Saturday 4th February
Great way to start a weekend... Committed Hawthorn Tree Runners showcased their efforts this weekend at the Boston Primary Schools Cross Country Event. Our highest finishing boy was Charlie W, in 7th place and Nicole M, in 13th place. Amongst a large number of competitors of a mixed age range, all of our runners did extremely well. #Proud
Thanks to Mrs Tyler for being their to support the children on the day.
Congratulations
Both our Y5/6 and Y3/4 Sportshall Athletics Teams competed recently in their Boston and District School Sports Partnership Events! Y5/6 came 2nd in their event and Y3/4 came 4th! All children represented the school brilliantly, giving their best efforts and supporting one another tremendously!
Happy New Year!
The new year is a great time to think about the New things you want to try this year.
Trying a Club can bring lots of benefits.
My TOP 5 benefits are:
1. ACTIVENESS
It is good to be ‘on the move’ always! It boosts metabolism and improves blood circulation. It also improves stamina and mental alertness. It improves energy levels
- ACTIVE BODY; ACTIVE MIND
2. TEAMWORK
Learning to work well and together in a team from a young age can be very beneficial.
3.SOCIAL BONDS
Taking part in group activities is a great way to make friends. You will meet each other regularly and have common purpose, and later, this gives you a sense of belonging.
4.STRESS-BUSTING/ BETTER MOOD
Even young children fall pray to stress at times! Apart from good sleep, extra curricular activities play a key role in busting this stress. They cool the mind down and remove the tension.
5.RAISE SELF ESTEEM
Doing things gives you a feeling of self-worth. Becoming more aware of your capabilities and gaining more exposure and experience, makes you more knowledgeable, versatile and independent in the process, which can all raise your self-esteem.

If you are a Year 6 and wish to apply for a Sports Ambassador role in school. Submit your application in to Mrs Ingamells by 18th October.
Sports Leadership Roles at Hawthorn Tree are valuable to enabling further opportunity in school, encouraging the power of pupil voice.
Mrs Ingamells asked staff members a question about their Active Travel to and from school.
"Why do you choose to travel actively to school and why would you encourage
others to do the same?"
Music Teacher, Mrs Cooper replied, "I enjoy the fresh air and exercise. It's definitely quicker than the car on the way home because of all the school traffic near where I live".
Mr Mitchell said, "I enjoy walking to and from school because it helps clear my mind. I am able to let my mind flow with all my worries and stresses and I can organise what I am doing in those issues and situations. It also keeps me exercised and fresh".
Can you think about what positive impact it would have on you?
"Regular" active travel means 3 or more times a week
Help yourselves by helping Hawthorn Tree have as many children as they can 'regularly' travelling to school in an active way.
We really want to aim high to help our school community achieve this award.
Can you Actively travel to school 3 or more times each week? Walking, scooting, cycling, parking further down Toot Lane so you can benefit from a little more activity...Give it a go!
Wider benefits to society for Active Travel - lets really think how we can help.
Hawthorn Tree are doing the Lincolnshire Schools Active Travel Award - Are you travelling in an ACTIVE way to school? Could you?!
TOP TIP 1: Park further away and walk that little bit further to and from school!
