EFL Football Tournament

Our school football team competed in the EFL football tournament today hosted by Colchester United. The standard of football was strong as was the physical strength of some of our opponents.

We finished the tournament with a credible seven points after achieving 2 wins and a draw in our 6 games. A special mention to Harry D for scoring a hat trick in one of the matches.

Sportshall Athletics

Today,  a team of year five and six athletes set off to Essex university for the Indoor Sportshall Athletic event. We competed against four other teams in various field and track events in an attempt to win ourselves a place in the final, which will take place in January.

The children thoroughly enjoyed taking part and were superb supporters of each other.  We learnt a few new things along the way, such as using a rebound board and developed our use of baton exchanges in the relays. It was a great performance by everybody and a good example of how Kelvedon children behave when we are out and about as a school, so well done to all.

We will hopefully find out the results by tomorrow morning so I will be able to let the children know whether we have qualified for the next round.  Fingers crossed.

National League Football Tournament

On a bitterly cold day in Braintree, our school football team competed in the National League football tournament arranged by Braintree Town F.C.

The squad included children who had played regularly for the school before and some that were experiencing their first competitive action.

The team experienced mixed results: a strong start in the fast game and a great comeback in the second game were two highlights. Unfortunately, we did not achieve enough points to progress from our group. At the end of the tournament, we spoke as a group about the things we want to keep doing in future tournaments and matches and the areas where we would like to improve.

I hope all of the children have thawed out for today's learning and thank you to the parents that came along to support the team. The hot drink from Alex's dad was much appreciated! Also, thank you to Mr Barnes who attended the tournament with me.

Netball: Lexden v Kelvedon

Kelvedon V.S Lexden Netball Match

The whistle sounded and the game immediately flew into action with Kelvedon and Lexden players sprinting into the centre third. The ball was thrown in every direction imaginable and flew from player to player. Finally the match ended . . . Lexden had scored an amazing four goals but Kelvedon scored a whopping 6. 6:4 was a great result for Kelvedon!

Well done to: Freya, Cameron, Shauna, Daisy, Evie, Sally and James for playing a brilliant game of netball.

Thank you to Miss Reece and Mrs Hewitt for arranging this match and taking us to Lexden.

On the 14^th of November, Kelvedon went to the Colchester football finals. They played well and scored lots of goals but it was only enough to put them in 2^nd place - 1 point behind Chapel. Unlucky Kelvedon. Congratulations Chapel.
