Y3 Fencing Festival

On Tuesday afternoon 8 Y3 children had their first taste of fencing (the one with the sword, not the one around your back garden).

During their two hour session they were instructed by a coach, who has also represented GB in worldwide competitions, and given the opportunity to try and practise a variety of different fencing skills and manoeuvres.



What a great way to spend an afternoon! A big thank you to Mrs Larder and one of our governors, Mrs Vaudin, for going with the children. And thank you to the parents who came late to pick their children up.

Thank you Mr Ackland for asking me to go with the children who were so well behaved. They tried so hard to master the art of fencing even though they found the masks rather uncomfortable. They had some good footwork. Well done Year 3.
