Live Your Goals……….
Football goals of course!!!
Last Friday the Year 3 and Year 4 girls participated in ‘FIFA Live Your Goal.’ This was a girls’ only invitation football skills event.
It was a day to give the girls a taster of football and to encourage them to take up the sport.
The taster session took place at Welsh Institute of Sport, Sophia Gardens. SportCardiff were the organisers.
The warm up began and everybody was taken by surprise because it involved music, dance or Zumba Football. The moves that were performed were all designed to improve our fitness, skills, coordination and enjoyment so as to make us better footballers.
Everybody was split into groups and rotated around each section, some had matches against one another and others were trying out football skills and ball control.
In the afternoon session the girls had a go at Power Shot………How hard can you kick the ball?
We were all disappointed when we had to leave at the end of the afternoon because we had had so much fun and learned so many new football skills.
We want to thank everybody from SportCardiff for inviting us and for making our day a great experience.
We all hope we will be able to go again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yoga for Wellbeing
Year 5 experienced a taster session of Yoga for Wellbeing. The class lesson was led by Sinead – a yoga instructor who shared her time with us to
help us understand what Yoga is.
Historically yoga was more than just a method of teaching; it was a way of life. You dedicated yourself to a lifestyle and culture that surpassed meditation techniques and included healthy eating habits, bathing habits, social interaction and work. Its philosophy is rooted in a physical culture of health and well-being that is still emphasised today and explains why over 15 million people in the world now practise this ancient tradition.Every yoga asana (pose) has a different name and includes standing postures, seated twists backbends, arm balances, inversions and core holds. The practise of yoga as a whole gives many more benefits than you might think…
8 reasons why yoga is so good for you:
- Lowers stress and improves mood
- Boost confidence
- Lowers the risk of injury
- Helps lose weight
- Increases flexibility
- Improves muscle tone and strength
- Benefits breathing and lowers blood pressure
Improves heatlth
- At the end of the session the children had a cool down, relaxing and breathing and thinking about the session they had just experienced.
- Have a look at some of the photographs we took during the session

During the last activity the pupils had to do a ‘whole team’ relay which was thoroughly enjoyed and everybody achieved their best.

FIFA Football ’Beat It’
On Friday November 20th 2015 Year 5 and 6 girls were invited to attend a football festival day, organised by Sport Cardiff with FIFA as the main sponsor at the Welsh Institute of Sport, Sophia Gardens, Cardiff
The main event was to encourage girls to learn skills and play football. On arrival at the sports centre all the girls were given a tee shirt with the logo with ‘Live your Goals’ written on.
In the morning session the girls had 5 different activities take part in. There was also a question an answer session where they could ask Welsh Ladies footballers anything about their career.
The morning began with a Zumba warm up. The next four activities they were doing different ball skills, controlling the ball with their hands and feet and using their eye hand coordination.
The last activity of the morning was to design your own football kit. A well deserved rest and some very classy designs.
The afternoon session began with ‘Football Beat It’ – the girls had to perform a dance while using the football. Definitely, an exercise to get yourself fit and improve the football skills.
The last event was to see how hard you can kit a football. Our winner was Neha Sunny who hit the target at 36mph. Well Done!!!!!!
The girls had a most enjoyable day experiencing something completely new. Maybe some of the girls will be inspired to carry on and play football either at school or in a club.
