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.
Year 5/6 Cross Country
On Thursday 6th March, some children from our Year 5/6 cohort took part in a cross country with other schools across the Boston area.

They should all be incredibly proud of themselves as they showed amazing ability at the event but also great teamwork as they cheered not only our school but other schools as well.

We were competing against 9 other schools in our afternoon group. The children were incredible all day with both their attitude and behaviour towards other schools and their ability in the events. This amazing attitude and level of athleticism all afternoon resulted in us winning the competition. This is an amazing achievement and all of the children that competed should be incredibly proud.

It was a tight game but we managed to win the game 1-0. This sent us through to the final with Hawthorn Tree. Despite drawing in the group stage, and thanks to a hattrick in the final from one of our girls, we ran out 3-0 winners which resulted in us winning the competition which is an amazing achievement. The girls attitude and sporting ability was amazing throughout the tournament and the girls that competed should be incredibly proud.
