Girls football tournament! ⚽️
Luckily, the weather turned around after a soggy start this morning an we were able to play our long awaited football tournament. With some new players starting today, it was a great showcase of enjoyment and pride. The girls really loved the games that they played, all smiled (even after late tackles) and encouraged each other to be their best. It was a joy to watch.
Our Year 3/4 team played their first game together and managed to finish third, which we are so proud of. This was the first time for a number of them playing a football game today. There were so many great performances, but Daisy was like a hoover in defence, vacuuming up any dangerous passes. She takes the player of the tournament for Year 3/4.
For our Year 5/6 team, some of the girls had played previously, but there were some new starters. As the tournament champions, they have also made us feel really proud. With lots of great displays all over the pitch, the girls managed to win all of their games, against some tough opposition. Madi takes the player of the tournament, with some great tackles in midfield.
We can’t wait for more tournaments in the future!
World Cup Blog
Dear parents and carers,
As I am sure many of you are aware, the world cup is fast approaching. We know that there is controversy surrounding the hosts of this and that there are some issues regarding Qatar. Many of our students are asking whether we will be watching the England match next week. The purpose of this letter is to clarify our position around the controversy and what we intend to do with students to support their education in regards to this.
It is important that we share the concern regarding the ongoing human rights record in Qatar. As a school, we have activism as a pillar of our curriculum and know it is important that as citizens of the UK we support our pupils in learning how to respectfully fight for what they believe is right. At the heart of our education, we teach our pupils the importance of having choice and valuing the choices they have in the UK.
We will have special crew sessions next week planned to ensure that pupils are aware, at their sensitive level of understanding, of what the controversy is about and we are using this as an opportunity to continue to develop children’s understandings of British Values.
On Tuesday 29th November, school will have a non uniform day where children can come dressed in their football/England shirts, however this is not essential as we understand some parents may be opting out of watching the World Cup this year.
Our Weekly Update
After a few technical issues (from me, not the producers), here is our weekly update from last week. Enjoy!
We love outdoor learning in MI and Boswell…
A great PE session today in Crew MI and Crew Boswell. We love our Scotties Hero’s sessions.
Challenge Crew in Crew Boswell
In our challenge this week, we had to untangle the human knot. This required us to work together and remain patient as we took turns trying to unpick the knots. Here’s a little glimpse of how we got on…it wasn’t an easy one!
UKS2 Netball tournament washout! 🌧🌊
Unfortunately, UKS2 were not able to complete their netball tournament. After 1 and a half games, the heavens opened and soaked us to our bones. The tournament was then cancelled.
Despite this, we were so excited to get playing and give it our very best, in a sport where our experience is limited. Even though we only played for a few moments, we learned quickly how to play effective netball. Finding space, speedy passes and using team work to score a goal.
Sadly, we will have to wait before we can play anymore games in a netball tournament. Check out our photos, including our Mrs Rhodes brolly photo. It wouldn’t be a tournament without us being huddled under the brolly!
