Swimming.

The deep end swimming group completed their personal survival tests and proudly show their certificates.

They competed tasks wearing several layers of clothes, showed they were able to tread water for a sustained period,were able to huddle together to conserve heat and survive as a small group and answer questions based on survival in open and deep water. Life skills-well done all.

Distance badges

Children completed their distance badges-here are most of the new distances achieved .Children worked hard all term and most were able to improve their distances within the 40 minute lesson.

Distances ranged from 75 m up to 1000m !

The missing certificates from last term!

A special mention to Chloe and Conor for achieving 1000m.

They had to stop as the lesson ended-they could have kept going!

Netball matches-November.

On Wednesday we played our next 2 netball matches at the Meres. First we played against Ingoldsby and won 4 -1.We then played a really close match against Long Bennington which ended in us losing 4-5. The game could have gone either way and both teams were well matched. Our team really played well and showed to all supporting how far they have progressed in game awareness, skills and team work over the last term.Well done.

Our High 5 Netball Team

Now we are ready for the next round of league matches in 2014.

Volley Ball Competition

On Thursday 6 children entered the volleyball competition at Priory Ruskin School. After a brief introduction to the rules( no prior experience was necessary-or so the entry form stated!) we were soon into our first game-we lost! We won the second game against Denton, lost the next against the eventual winners-Isaac Newton and lost our 4th game against Grantham West but finished on a high winning against Ingoldsby.
