It has been great to see the response for the number of children who shall be taking part in the half marathon challenge later in the academic year. So far, we have over 40 children who have paid their entry fee of £6. This Friday 21st December is the final day for any further entries, as names and numbers have to be submitted to the organisers on this date.

Here are the details regarding sports clubs that will be happening during Spring Half Term 1. Letters regarding these clubs will be distributed next week. Please be quick with your reply slips as we would like to have numbers/names confirmed by the end of next week.

Mondays – Archery 3:15 – 4:15pm (Daniel Woodvine) Y3-6 Maximum of 15 pupils

Wednesdays – Change 4 Life / Gymnastics club (Mr Hughes & Miss Wenlock) for selected pupils only.

Thursdays – Tennis club (Ollie Gwilt) Y1-Y6

Fridays – Girls Football club (Johnny Hughes) lunchtime / Boys football club – after school

Here are the scheduled dates of Y5&6 boys football matches upcoming in the Spring Term. As some of these are away, we would need help to transport the children to these events. Matches will be played ideally on a Thursday, however, some schools may wish to reschedule to a different day during that week so these dates are not confirmed.

Letters regarding each match will be sent out in the week before the game to the parents of the children who have been chosen to play in that particular fixture with details of dates / times, etc…..

Well done to the children who were chosen to represent Myddle CE Primary School in this morning’s hockey tournament at Corbet School. We had two squads entered, with one our teams finishing in 2nd place out of the 8 teams, to qualify through to the next stage.???

The squads were:

Squad 1: Charlie, Maddie, Georgia, Alfie, Merci and Reuben

Squad 2: Blake, Lily K, Cameron, Rhys, Lucy and Bethany

On a very exciting evening at the Corbet School, our Indoor Athletics squad gave it their all against 6 other local schools. All of the children took part in either/both field and track events, which all contributed to the overall score at the end of the competition. When the positions were announced, the Girls team (Lily K, Maddie, Cassie, Ruby, Chloe, Zoe, Georgia and Merci) finished in 4th place whilst the Boys team (Charlie, Rhys, Toby, Harvey, Henry, Alfie, Oliver, Harry and Reuben) finished in 2nd place, narrowly losing out by 2 points to the winners, St John The Baptist, Ruyton XI Towns. A great effort from all of our pupils, who supported their team mates really well throughout!

The following children have qualified through to take part in the North Shropshire Cross Country Qualifiers. A huge congratulations for your efforts!

Y4 girls – Zoe

Y6 girls – Lily K

Y3 boys – Dylan

Y4 boys – Rhys

Y5 boys – Toby

Y6 boys – Charlie

(Y3 Girls Reserve – Lilly)

Details regarding this will be sent to the parents of the children involved when they are known.

A big thank you for all the teddy and book donations today. The non-uniform donations, loose change collection and  teddy / book sales made a total of over £200, which beat our 2017 amount of £196. The school council children should be really proud of themselves as they came up with all of the ideas and helped enormously during the day!
