Sports at Brookfield Junior School
Sports at Brookfield Junior School
At Brookfield Junior School, we strive to make sport a varied and celebrated aspect of life, We provide the opportunity for the children to play a wide range of sports, from hockey to Quidditch, football to netball, extending these opportunities beyond the classroom to become a part of everyday school-life in our playground zones as well.
We believe that it is important for children to experience this base of wide opportunities, to enable them to find a sport that is suited to the individual rather than simply what is popular amongst their peers, building their level of cultural capital.
Please take the time to look at the sections below for further details, especially our Brookfield Sporting Superstars - celebrating the sporting achievements of our amazing children.
Basketball
We attended a basketball tournament on November 14th at Medway Park, Gillingham, hosted by Medway Youth Games. We are a very new basketball team and hardly had any practice, so our main goal was to go and have a fantastic day and enjoy ourselves! However, I had totally under-estimated our amazing team - they were phenomenal and went on to win 7 out of the 8 games they played!! We got got some very respectable results too! Our brilliant girls, Jasmine and Tilly, had to play EVERY game without being subbed and Naseem was scouted to trial with The Crusaders!! We were very fortunate to watch an adults basketball time at the lynch break, which really inspired some of our budding athletes.
Swimming
January 17th For the second year running, Brookfield attended the Medway Youth Games swimming gala, held at Medway Park, Gillingham. Some of our team had never attended a gala before, so it was a real experience for all! We completed a range of races, including butterfly, free-style, backstroke, breast-stroke and relays, and each child swam out of their skin! We were up against 32 schools, and we hoping to come within the top 20... we SMASHED that, and came in an outstanding 12th place!! We would like to give a huge shout out to Indi, who won all of her races and was the fastest out of every single heat!
Sports Captains
February
Our wonderful sports captain have teamed up with Chris Dickinson from IMPACT sport in order to develop their leadership skills. They have had their first session, where they had to fill out their application forms and got spoken through what the course entails. Chris will be working with the children every Wednesday, training them up to be the best play-leaders they can be on the playground. The children will learn the theory side of sport and will lead their own sessions to the younger years. Additionally, they will be assessed so they can become qualified!
To add, our sports captains are absolutely incredible. They keep our PE cupboards tidy, maintain our equipment, assist the PE lead, they help set-up lessons and are a real asset to our school.
