Goals a plenty at Netball!
Amazing performance from 7 children who represented our school at a Netball tournament. The children really showed everyone that they have been practicing hard. Goals scored by Katie, Harley, Nevaeh and Krystal, supported by some fantastic defending from Jenson, Flynn and Binaya. The children may have started slowly, but by the end the Goals were flowing. Unfortunately they ended up seconds away from representing the county! Really impressive display by all. Well done to all.
Goalball!
Goalball is a team sport designed specifically for athletes with a vision impairment. Participants compete in teams of three and try to throw a ball with bells embedded inside it into the opponents' goal. The ball is thrown by hand and never kicked.
It was the first time playing for all of us. The girls were amazing and got stuck straight in. It was tricky having to wear a blindfold and being unable to see for a timed period. Sometimes it felt like you had lost knowing where you were. To help with this the girls laid out across the goal and were able to touch each other to know where they were in relation to each other and the goal.
Everyone played each other against teams from other schools. It was very exciting but very quiet as the only sound must be the jingling of the ball.
At the end there was a game adult versus children and the children won! I was super impressed with the girl’s behaviour, attitude and determination. It was a great experience.
All girls really enjoyed taking part in the development day and represented our school beautifully, displaying our school values at all times.
Girls Football Development Day
On Tuesday 8th 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 the stadium where they got to look around the changing rooms and the different areas within the stadium. The children loved the experience and enjoyed all of the activities and were given the chance to put their skills to the test in some football matches.
Capture the Castle
Children from Years 4 and 5 represented the school at a Capture the Castle competition, held on Friday 13th September at Kirton Middlecott School. They put in 100% effort and determination. After three hard fought battles, it was clear that we had some amazing attackers and defenders in our side. Our school values were clearly on show as each child put in a faultless display.
Our Primary School P.E. and Sports funding will help us to build on and to extend our provision and to continue to promote healthy and active lifestyles for our children.
