Sports Day 2017

What a day Sports Day 2017 was!

KS2 had their Sports Day activities first thing in the morning and completed all of their 13 sporting activities, earning points for their house at every station.
Year 3 did well at their first 'House Relays' whilst years 5/6 (now experts in Sports Day) led with way with some very close and exciting races.

Year group Sprint Champions were crowned and new records were set in the Y4 boys 60m and both the boys and girls 80m in Y6. So well done, Ethan, Marcus an Amy!

Our KS1 activities didn't go quite so smoothly - the rain hampering our Sports Day spirit. We did try and go for as long as we could, but eventually we were beaten by the weather. We did, however, manage to complete 8 out of the 10 different activities. KS1 Sprint Champion races will be run on a date TBA.

Well done to everyone who represented their house but this years winners are....Azura!!

Y6 Inter House Benchball

There were a few tired Y6s after their production last night, but they still had enough energy this morning to complete the final round of the Inter House Sports Cup.

All Y6 children took part, and represented their house for the final time. Benchball was the game and determination was the key. 3 of the 4 school house had a chance to claim the cup with victory today, but it was Ventura who triumphed in Y6.

All results from the year will now be collated and the winners announced in the final celebration assembly of the year.

Inter House Cup - Year 5

Year 5 completed the 7th round of the Inter-House Sports Cup this morning. Despite the Chilly July weather children went head to head in a hi-5 netball tournament.

Azura picked up 7 points from their three games making them champions of the round. Britannia were 2nd and, Sports Day winners Adonia, were 3rd, with Ventura in 4th.

There is only one more event to go, the Y6 Benchball tournament and things couldn't be tighter in the race for the cup!

Y3 Inter-House Cup

Year 3 had their second and KS2's sixth round of the Inter-House Sports Cup competition this morning.

Children competed in a mini cricket tournament and the scores were rather close!

Adonia won all three of their games, whilst each of the other houses picked up one win each. Meaning another 40 points for winners Adonia and joint second place for Britannia, Azura and Ventura.

Inter-House Sports Cup

Y4 completed the second round of their Inter-House Sports competitions this morning. With 40 children taking part in a rounders tournament.

Adonia picked up 3 wins from 3 so came in first, with Ventura second and Britannia third, Azura only managed 1 draw from their three matches so came in forth.

There are now only 3 rounds of the Inter-House Sports Cup left this year and the scores are getting very close.

Explorers War Dances

In PE we are EXPLORING dances from different parts of the world. Last week we learned the fearsome Maori Haka from New Zealand, and this week we had a go creating our own war dances for our Houses.

Here are the results:

Inter-House Sports Cup - Y4 Football Tournament

This morning saw the second event in this years Inter-House sports cup, the Y4 5-a-side football competition.

Compared to last weeks hockey tournament it was a relatively low scoring affair with all teams keen to keep it tight at the back and clean sheets were the orders from all team captains!

The scores were:

Ventura 2-0 Britannia                                         Adonia 0-2 Azura
Britannia 0-0 Adonia                                          Azura 0-0 Ventura
Ventura 2-0 Adonia                                            Azura 0-0 Britannia

These results meaning; Ventura again picked up the winners spot, Azura 2nd, Britannia 3rd, and Adonia 4th.

All the scores for the matches are below;

They are wearing their badges with pride, and already have had an important job to do manning stalls at our Macmillan Coffee Morning. Look out for news from them soon!

House Captain Voting

Article 12 of the UNICEF Rights of the Child Charter, which is one of our focus articles on our Whole School Charter, says that we all have a right to say what we think and be listened to.

Well, we certainly got a chance to do that today!

Every pupil in the school had a chance to vote for their House Captain for 2014 - 2015. The role of House Captain is very prestigious and the chosen pupils will be expected to be exemplary role models. Everyone who voted has had to think carefully about their decision and vote for the person who they think will represent their house the best.

After a rigorous application process, which included writing application forms and preparing and presenting speeches to the school, our Year 6 House Captain Candidates will be nervously awaiting the results of today's election.

We will be announcing the winner next Wednesday - watch this space for the results!
