On Wednesday 25th February, the Year 6 netball team took part in a netball tournament against other schools in the local area.

We beat St Walburgas 8-0, Bethany 6-0, Park School 6-0.....then played Park School and lost 1-0!!  This meant we had a third/fourth place play off and beat Muscliff 10-5.....giving us 3^rd place. 

The girls all showed brilliant team work and all put 100% effort into every game!

Well done girls, you should all be very proud of yourselves!

Over the last few weeks, Mrs Stopler has taken some children from Year 4 and 6 to compete in netball competitions and games!

On Sunday (9th November) our Year 4 girls gave up their morning for a friendly netball match against Christchurch Netball Club. We held a 2-minute silence before the game, which they respected beautifully, even though they were excited to get on with the game. They have only trained 5 times so far and this was our first match experience so it wasn't a surprise that we lost 10-1 but they all gave 100% and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.  Thank you to the parents also for giving up their time to support us.

We celebrated National Fitness Day at school on Wednesday 24th September to remind ourselves why it is important to keep ourselves active!

We started our day at school with a Wake and Shake by Miss Lunn, which was enjoyed by both children and adults!

Teachers were encouraged to keep their lessons as active as possible and also provide the children with lots of opportunities for movement breaks!

Throughout the day a competition was held between each year group, in which an adult per year group was given a pedometer to do the most amount of steps! The winning year group would receive an extra break and the winning adult would also get a little prize! It's safe to say there was a clear competition after seeing teachers getting their children to run laps around the playground with them! At the end of the day the results were in:

7^th with 4625 steps = Early Years

6^th with 6468 steps = Year 2

5th with 6771 steps= Year 1

4th with 8533 steps= Year 5

3^rd with 15,561 steps = Year 6

2^nd with 16,277 steps = Year 3

1^st with 21,730 steps = Year 4

A big well done to all the adults that took part during the competition, the children definitely loved encouraging their year group adult to keep walking!
