CPSL Athletics

On Tuesday afternoon a squad of children from Years 3-6 travelled over to Colchester Garrison to compete against 12 schools in an athletics tournament.  With a proper running track this presented a lovely opportunity for many of the children to compete in a new environment, particularly the year 3 children who were selected to represent the school for the first time.

We had the good fortune of taking an army of cheering supporters with us and the children were well prepared for both the field and track events.  Everyone performed fantastically and were rewarded with an array of medals across every year group and in all events.  There were plenty of smiles all round and the children supported each other fabulously.  As always it was incredibly rewarding to be part of this occasion with such well behaved children and I look forward to many more.

To complete the day, the team results were announced.  Years 3/4 came 4th overall. They should be thoroughly proud of themselves as they were only one point behind 3rd place.
The hard work of Years 5/6 was rightly rewarded with 1st place overall and two of our Year 6 gold medalists took pride in collecting the shield, which is now on display in school.

Many thanks again for all the staff and parental support on the day.  It really makes a big difference to being able to participate in these events.

Another great day for Kelvedon St Mary's.

Cricket match vs Feering

Our cricket team were invited to play a match against Feering today at Kelvedon and Feering cricket club. The match took place on the outfield during an adults match that was being played at the ground. The game was played in an excellent spirit with good performances from both sides however the final result was a resounding Kelvedon win. A special mention to player of the match Amy Taylor (as selected by the umpire) although there was some excellent performances from all members of the team. Thank you to Simon Gibbs and Paul Lees for organising and running this fixture.

 

Colchester Rugby Tournament

In Gold book assembly this morning,  the rugby squad were awarded their certificates from the recent rugby tournament.

Mr Taylor and Mr Walsh took  two teams made up from boys in Year six and Year five to the event on Thursday 26th May.  This was the first occasion for many of the boys to play rugby competitively for school and they performed highly.  Each team was placed in individual pools, successfully winning every game they played, despite freezing cold conditions.

Well done boys.
