Well done to our Y5&6 hockey squad who took part in a primary school competition and Corbet School this morning. We entered two teams to give more children the opportunity to represent the school and take part in a competitive event. Our ‘Red’ team finished in 5th with two victories whilst the ‘Blue’ team finished in 1st, winning 4 matches and drawing in two other games. Congratulations to these children who were chosen to represent the school in this event:

Squad:

Alfie, Cass, Dylan, Sam, Lilly, Esme, Sophie, Blake, Siena, Amelia, Jess and Alex

Today, a squad of children travelled to Corbet School to take part in an Indoor Athletics tournament against three other local schools. After many field events (javelin, long jump, speed bounce, etc…), the children took part in several relay running events and performed fantastically well, showing brilliant baton changes on some occasions.

Overall, the girls’ team finished in 2nd place behind Baschurch, whilst the boys’ team came 3rd, with Ruyton winning.

Individually, Sophie Carr (chest push), Siena Wray (vertical jump) and Alfie Russell (javelin) won their individual field events with some great efforts.

The squad on this occasion was:

Boys (Cass MacKechnie, Dylan Thomas, Alfie Russell, Blake Wild, Ollie Hinton, Ethan Duffner, Ryan Lincoln and Connor Farrow)

Girls (Siena Wray, Ariana Maybury, Imogen Conde, Maisie Lincoln, Sophie Carr, Esme Hassan, Amelia Williams  and Sarah Emerton Maka)

Here are some photographs from the morning.

The group of Y6 sports leaders have been doing a great job during this half term to make sure that they have provided children throughout the school with the opportunity to take part in different sporting activities during lunchtime. They announce their weekly winners in Friday’s celebration assembly and present them with certificates which they have created themselves. This week, they held a skipping competition…….
