Primary School" --- # Year 2 Get to Grips with Curling! 🥌 ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/blog/IMG_0798.JPG) 23 October 2026 [Nicola Lawson](https://ststephenscofe.durham.sch.uk/blog/author/nlawson) [Year 2 Blog](https://ststephenscofe.durham.sch.uk/blog/category/year-2-blog) This week, the children had an exciting opportunity to try curling in the school hall, and it was fantastic to see their enthusiasm and determination throughout the session. For many of the children, this was their first experience of the sport, making it a wonderful chance to learn something completely new. The children quickly discovered that curling is much more than simply sliding an object towards a target. They learnt about the importance of accuracy, control, strategy, and teamwork. As they took turns aiming at various targets, they carefully considered how much force to use and how to adjust their technique to improve each attempt. There was plenty of excitement as the children cheered on their classmates and celebrated successful shots. They showed excellent sportsmanship, encouraging one another and demonstrating resilience when things did not always go according to plan. The session also provided an opportunity to learn about the sport of curling itself. The children discovered that curling is a popular winter sport. Most importantly, the children had great fun! The hall was filled with smiles, laughter, and excitement as they challenged themselves and enjoyed taking part in a new sporting activity. Through curling, they developed coordination, communication skills, and confidence whilst staying active and engaged. We are incredibly proud of the positive attitude and enthusiasm shown by all the children. It was a fantastic experience, and many of them are already asking when they can play curling again! Well done, Year 2 for demonstrating such determination, teamwork, and enjoyment throughout the session.
