We are delighted to say that for the third year in a row, Myddle CE Primary School have been successful in our application for the School Sports Games GOLD award for our achievements in PE and school sport this year. It’s been a great team effort, from our sports leaders, our PE coaches, Mrs Smith for organising transport to and from events, but most importantly, the children who have taken part in all intra-house and inter-school competition this year. Let’s aim for four in a row next year!

Well done and a huge thank you to all of the parents who have helped to contribute towards the Sports4Champions day today. Thanks to you (and the children’s efforts in their physical challenges), we have raised over £1,200, much of which will help towards new sports resources for the school. Thanks to our British decathlon athlete, Matt Lee, who spent the afternoon with us, giving a talk to the pupils and then organising a circuit of activities with the pupils…… We wish him all the best in his push for the European Championships in a couple of years time.

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:

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.
