Netball Festival

On the last Thursday of term we took part in the local High 5 Netball Festival. We played 10 games-won 4 , drew 4 and lost 2. We played well and drew against some large town schools-The National School and Cliffdale which is good as they have many more children to select teams from! We lost 1-0 to Long Bennington who went on to win the festival again this shows how well we played.

 The courts are much bigger than our one! 

Gym Club certificates

During our Sport Relief Celebrations gym club members were presented with certificates.

The first 2  awards were presented for proficiency level 8.

The boys team from the competition were presented with their skills awards.

The girls were then presented with their skills certificates .

                                                                    Well done to all the gymnasts .

Netball league Matches

We played our first 2 league matches, having qualified for league 2 from our Autumn matches( a high league).Unfortunately we were without 2 of our experienced year 6 team members so Mrs Chadwick knew we would have to play really well as a new team with Andrew and Isabella playing in  their first matches.
Game 1 was against  a Grantham Preparatory team and we won a close match 5-4.
The second game was against Barrowby-again another close match which we won 4-3.
                                                        Amazing, brilliant, fantastic.

We did it! We won.

Proud and pleased with ourselves. The friends and supporters that came to watch us enjoyed a good evening watching the 2 netball matches. 

We played well as a team and benefited from Isabella's prowess at scoring goals.

Back at school on Sport Relief Day ( hence the unusual sports gear) we were presented with a certificate recognising our team work and effort.
