Athletics Finals Day 2016

Thank goodness for British weather - today dawned beautifully sunny and stayed that way until our Athletics Finals were complete.  What a relief!
Representatives for every KS2 class ran in sprint races and distance races, after having previously qualified through class heats.  They performed magnificently, showing enthusiasm and particularly impressive sportsmanship in many cases. 
As it was a fantastic afternoon, many of the classes took the time to come and support, cheering from the side as the competitors ran past.  This was a great representation of our school; staff, children and parents alike enjoying an annual event at Kelvedon St Mary's.

Many thanks for everybody's support

Girls' Essex Coaching - week 2

The Football Association are promoting this week as 'Girls Football Week' and the second of our three coaching sessions delivered by Essex Football Association took place this afternoon. This week the girls practised turning, shielding the ball and tackling through a series of highly enjoyable coaching drills. Our two coaches were again very complimentary about both the skill levels and attitude demonstrated by our players and are very keen to see as many of the girls continuing to play long into the future. If any of the girls want advice on joining a football club, I will be very pleased to help and I'll even come along with them to their initial sessions if required ! The next Essex F.A training session takes place on Monday 9th May (next week is Bank Holiday).  Mr Barnes.
