Sportshall Athletics Yr 3/4

Today a team of Year 3/4 athletes travelled to Essex University in Colchester for an indoor athletic competition.  The children competed in a wide range of field and track events featuring speed bouncing, jumping, throwing and obstacle and relay races.  All these events allow for individual ability to shine through with team skills as well. The children competed in pairs or fours and had great support from their accompanying team mates.

We competed alongside 9 schools and came 6th overall. This event was a wonderful opportunity for some of the children to represent the school in a sporting event for the first time and they all performed excellently, making us proud to be there with them. Well done to all of you.

Many thanks for the parental support we had too, it was much appreciated.

CBSSP - Girls' Football Tournament

Congratulations to our girls' football team who finished as runners-up in the Colchester & Blackwater Sports Partnership Tournament at Thurstable School on 13 November. For many of the players it was their first experience of an organised competition and to finish 2nd out of 13 teams is an outstanding achievement. In the group stage they won 5 and drew 1 of their 6 games, won 1-0 in the semi-final and only went down by the odd goal in a very closely contested final. Well done girls you did the school proud!
