Y5&6 Cricket competition

Congratulations to the 9 children in Y5&6 who represented the school this morning in a cricket competition at Corbet School. After winning their semi-final against Ryuyton XI Towns, we were beaten by Baschurch in the final. Well done to Reuben in Y6 for his organisation, leadership and enthusiasm in selecting the team for this event.

Y5&6 Netball competition

Well done to the children who represented the school in a Y5&6 netball event last week at Corbet School. Both teams reached the semi-finals having qualified through from the group stages. A great effort! Thank you to coach Neil and Mr Harris for taking the children.

Y5&6 Tag rugby competition

Well done to the 15 children in Y5&6 who represented the school in a tag rugby competition at Corbet School this morning. After both of our teams reached the semi-finals due to earlier victories in the group stages, they narrowly missed out on making the final with 5-4 and 4-3 defeats to Baschurch A and Baschurch B teams. A superb effort from everybody! Thanks to coach Neil and Mrs Emerton Maka for taking the children to this event.

Y5&6 Football match vs Baschurch

A great performance from our Y5&6 football squad today who were selected to play in a 9 a-side game against Baschurch Primary. After going 1-0 down, they fought back confidently with goals from Dexter, Fin and Ben to earn a well-deserved 3-1 victory. Well done everybody and thank you to those who came along to support the team.
