St Albans Fun Run 2015

At the weekend, on a drizzly Sunday morning in June, the St Albans Half Marathon was held. Alongside the main race each year there is a Fun Run held over 1.5 miles. This year it was wonderful to see so many children and families running the race around Verulamium Park and even more cheering them on. Children from across the school took part along side siblings from the infants school, so many in fact that the Infants and Juniors combined won the prize for having the highest number of participants, as a percentage of all the children in the school. We did however, only win by a small margin so we hope to see you all running again next year to regain
the title.

Special mention must go to Tommy Wilson who came 3rd overall in the Under 12's category and Max Tym who finished in the top 10.

World School Games 12/06/15

Today, 8 Year 4s and 2 Year 6 Sports Ambassadors attended the World School Games at Oaklands College, along with children from other schools across St Albans and the surrounding area. All the children had a great day, taking part in sports activities ranging from Archery to Rowing. They were also lucky enough to meet an England U18 Basketballer and a Saracens and England U18 Rugby player, who opened and closed the games.
The whole day was themed toward the Rugby World Cup and our Sports Ambassadors flexed their brains, as well as their muscles, winning the quiz they were tasked with, including cross curricular questions related to the Rugby World Cup.

CRICKET MATCH V FLEETVILLE

On Monday 8th June, 10 children from Yr 5 and 6 went to Fleetville School to play their first cricket match.

Jake, our captain, won the toss and so we chose to field first. Our fielding was very strong, especially our bowling. We took 5 wickets in total too. However they had a strong side with one strong batsman in particular, so we knew we were going to have to work hard batting to beat their score of 103 runs.

All of the children batted well and scored a good number of 4s and 6s, as well as making up some single runs. Unfortunately it wasn't enough and we were unable to beat Fleetville's score.

FINAL SCORE: FV-103 BH-78

However we didn't mind. We all really enjoyed ourselves and saw it as a good learning opportunity before our tournament on Wednesday 1st July.

Well done everyone, a great afternoon, you all demonstrated good sportsmanship qualities!

Mini- Athletics Meet

Just before half term a team of children from all the year groups attended a Mini -Athletics Meet at St Peters.  There were 3 other schools competing at the event, which was made up of individual running races, relays and throwing.  All our children did brilliantly in their events, many winning or coming second.  After all the scores were added up we were thrilled to have won the event.  Well done to every one who took part.
