Golf Day

On Tuesday Laurence, the golf pro from Verulam Golf Club, visited the school to take each class for a golf taster session.  The children all really enjoyed their opportunity to try out golf and hopefully some of them might like to take it further by taking part in holiday camps run by Verulam Golf Club.

Year 6 Football Tournament

On Wednesday our Year 6 football team went to Cunningham Hill Junior School to take part in the first round of the annual tournament.  The boys had 3 games to play.  In the first game we were really unlucky as we had held on until the last minute before St Bernadettes managed to score.  In the second game we lost 2-1 to Cunningham Hill.  Then in the last game we found our scoring boots and won 5-0.  Unfortunately we do not go through to the next round.
Thanks to Mr Burgess for refereeing one of the games.

Hockey Training

If your child has received a letter about hockey training after Easter the sessions will run from 3.30 until 4.15pm.

Year 5 hockey Day

On Tuesday Year 5 had their hockey day taken by a coach from St Albans Hockey Club.  In the morning each class had a coaching session where they learnt basic skills of hockey.  Then in the afternoon we had an inter-house tournament.  
All the year groups will be having their own hockey day including a inter-house tournament so I will announce the overall house winners after Easter.

Year 4 Cross Country

On Tuesday a group of Year 4 runners (6 girls and 6 boys) went to Cunningham Hill for a friendly Cross Country event.  There were two races, one for the girls and one for the boys, twice round the field, so they ran about 600m.  I was very proud of all the children who all ran very fast, infact so fast that both teams finished 2nd overall in their races.

Dance Club

This half term Apex Sports have been running a Dance Club for some girls and boys across the school.  They have been learning about street dance and putting together a routine.  They all looked like they were enjoying the dancing when I went down to the hall to watch and I hope they will be showing off their skills in an assembly after the Easter break.

Tag Rugby Tournament

Today we took 30 children from years 5 and 6 to the annual Tag Rugby Tournament held at St Albans Rugby Club.

The 3 teams (2 Year 6 and 1 Year 5) were placed into 3 spearate pools against other schools from St Albans. The children all had lots of fun scoring many tries in the process. all the teams had mixed fortunes in the pool stages however they all managed to notch up at least one win. Unfortunately, non of the 3 teams managed to progress to the quarterfinals, however, special mention must go to team 1 who lost only a single match to the eventual champions which meant they could not progress from the group stage.

All the children had lots of fun and showed excellent skills which i hope they are able to utilize in future sports event.

Below are some photos from the day and a big thank you must be given to all those parents who helped with lifts to the event.
