Dance club week 5

This week Micky taught the group a street dance style that ended up with their stunts that they have been working on over the last 2 weeks. They are getting ready to put on a mini performance for parents next week.
                                     

Street dance attitude!

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.

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.

Dance Club

Micky, the dance club coach, taught the children a dance using Michael Jackson's Thriller music. Great fun was had by all.
