Boccia Competition

An amazing team of children took part in a Boccia sports event at Peter Paine Sports Centre (Boston College) on Tuesday 13th January.

The children were sublime from the beginning to the end of the event, competing really well against many other local schools, as well as showing great sportsmanship towards everyone. Massive well done to all involved.

Boccia is a precision sport, similar to bowls, where athletes aim to throw or roll leather balls as close as possible to a white target ball (the jack). 

Table Tennis Tournament

A small team of Table tennis players attended Thomas Middlecott to showcase their skills and represent the school. With over 50 players in attendance, we knew it was going to be a difficult afternoon. K was in a group of 5 girls, where it was clear her confidence developed as the games went by, slowly winning by more and more! She topped the group and stormed her way into the finals unbeaten. N faced a tough group with some very skilful looking players. Although he may not have progressed into the finals, it was clearly apparent he had enjoyed the afternoon and played some super shots. G was in a different group but also faced some tricky opponents. However, with splendid serving, rapid rallies and even a super smash he progressed into the final stages unbeaten!  K went onto remain unbeaten until her very last match, unfortunately she was just beaten in the overall girls final 11-6. What an amazing achievement. N went on to play some friendly matches where he continued to play some really good battles. G was up, again against some really tough opponents, continuing with his earlier form, it went down to literally one point. Unfortunately, he ended up not going into the final two due to ‘points difference’, so he settled for 3rd place overall.

Every child showed fantastic sportsmanship throughout the whole afternoon, it was noted by other players and staff present.

Massive well done to all.

Year 5/6 Football Tournament

Recently, some Year 5/6 got chosen to represent our school in a football tournament. Despite some really tough opponents the children who represented our school did so while continually showing our 5 R’s. Even though results may not have gone our way, the children simply kept going until the final whistle. Well done to all.

Girls Football Development Day

On Wednesday 1st October, a group of 10 girls went to Boston United Football Stadium to take part in a football development day. Whilst we were there, the children took part in a multitude of different events and activities to help develop their teamwork and communication skills within football. The children also were given a tour of a match-day stadium where they got to look around the changing rooms and the different areas within the stadium. The changing rooms even had all the kits ready for the evening game. The children loved the experience and enjoyed all the activities and were given the chance to put their skills to the test in some football matches.
