Football match v Fleetville

Yesterday two teams of year 5 and 6 boys played against Fleetville in friendly football games.  In the first game despite battling hard and playing some good football the boys lost 4 -0.  Thank you to Mr Burgess for stepping in to help referee the game and supporting the boys.  In the second game it was a closer game with lots of goals from both sides.  I think we were unlucky to lose 4 -3.  Well done Glenn for scoring twice.

Year 5 have been learning to play Tag Rugby in their PE lessons.  To use the skills and tactics they have learnt and take part in a competition we ran an intra-class mini tournament.  Each team played four games, scoring points for a win or a draw.  All the games were very close, but eventually 5A and 5DB were equal winners overall with 13 points, while 5B scored 10 points. Well done to all the children for trying their best and working well as a team.
Here are some pictures of the event taken by Thomas in 5A.

 

 

Netball Match V Maple

On Monday afternoon we walked to Maple to play our second league match.
We took a while to warm up and were 4 goals down at the end of the first half. With a good team talk from Miss Brown, we marked closely but unfortunately were unable to make a mark on the score sheet but Maple scored 2 more so we lost 6-0.
As Maple had another team available, we played another full match. This time we were more successful with our marking and attacking play and we quickly pulled away scoring 2 goals in the fist half. Maple scored 2 goals but in the last minute we managed to shoot the winning goal so a 3-2 win for Bernards Heath.

Year 4 Mixed Tag Rugby Club - Thursdays Afterschool

A reminder, Year 4 Tag Rugby Club will be starting on Thursdays after school from the 21^st November. Currently there are still spaces available.

This is a mixed club aimed at developing the evasion and ball skills associated with rugby, developing towards inter-school competitions held in the spring term. All practice will take place on the school playgrounds, therefore normal trainers are required, not boots with studs. Tracksuit bottoms and jumpers are required due to the colder weather.

If your child is interested in taking part please send a note to the school office giving your permission and a contact number.

Many thanks

On Wednesday Ellen, Courtney, Charlotte T, James, Jude, Noah, Teddy and Joe ran in the Cross Country Championship at Wheatfields.  One lap of 1000m.  It was very slippy as it had been raining so the children got a bit muddy and wet, but they we still smiling at the end.  All the children finished in good positions.  A special mention to James who came 4th in the boys race, one place away from a medal!
Well done all of you.
