Girls football tournament! ⚽️

23rd November 2022Simon Gerrard

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!

UKS2 Netball tournament washout! 🌧🌊

9th November 2022Simon Gerrard

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!

Scotty’s Heroes

9th November 2022Ruth Shields

During Scotty’s heroes today, the children were challenged to complete an assault course while blindfolded. They had to work in pairs so they could guide each other through safely. This required clear and precise instructions not only to get through the course but to keep each other safe. Some great instructions and collaboration. Well done Crew Shields.

LKS2 PE! ⚽️

3rd November 2022Simon Gerrard

LKS2 have started their new PE unit: Dodgeball. We learnt the different rules and how we need to work together as a team. There was some excellent teamwork, along with healthy competition, showing a real sense of crew. Well done!

LKS2 also had a mini-football tournament to finish off their unit of football. The ball control, dribbling and skills were fantastic. Even better, there was so much communication to be heard and smiles as they enjoyed playing their game of football.

Year 3-6 football tournament! ⚽️

5th October 2022Simon Gerrard

What a great afternoon, Years 3 to 6 have had at Campsmount for the football tournament. The boys gave their all in pretty poor weather and we didn’t let the wet weather dampen our spirits! Even though they did not get the results they wanted, the boys were fantastic. Their effort and humility was fantastic to see. After each game, they shook hands with their competitors and did not complain. You guys did myself and Mrs Rhodes proud. More importantly, you represented the school brilliantly. Keep going and you will continue to improve and get even better!

There were so many of our boys playing football for the first time today and they gave it their all. Seeing their enjoyment and happy smiles at the end was completely worth it. The fact that they enjoyed playing this wonderful game is amazing to see!

It was incredibly tricky to choose a player of the tournament for both the 3/4 and 5/6 teams. These were, Tommy M (Year 5) and Charlie S (Year 3). Both boys were impressive in the net and pulled off some fantastic saves. Our most improved players were Kaylum (Year 5) and Thomas O (Year 4). It was incredibly difficult to pick because of the fantastic displays throughout.
