Girls Football - Match 2

Last night, our second team of girls headed to Newlands for a friendly match. We knew it would be a challenge, as this is our first time playing together, and against a strong team!
Everyone gave it everything they had and Miss Dickinson and Miss McKitterick were really proud to be coaching them on the sidelines.
Well done girls!

Girl’s Football (Match 1)

After having trained hard each Thursday afternoon throughout the Spring term, this week brought the first instalment of matches for our KS2 girls against an experienced Newlands team. Despite the unfortunate scoreline, the girls enthusiastically battled through and thoroughly enjoyed the chance to play on a grass pitch. On our return to school it was rewarding to hear the girls reflect on how much they felt they had improved since Week 1, including a quote from AP -  “I couldn’t even kick a ball!” 

Next week, Team 2 make the trip to Newlands to showcase their skills! Good luck girls!

Football team victory!

Yesterday, the football team competed in the Testlands Tournament against 10 other schools. It was a very hot day; luckily umbrellas at bottoms of bags came in handy for shade!

We had an unlucky start, losing to Moorlands (who went on to win the entire tournament) and Springhill B. This put us into the B league.

However after lunch the games flipped our way as we went on to beat Bassett Green 2-0, Springhill B 3-0, Banister B 6-0 and Banister A 1-0! 

There were some superb passes and interceptions - Miss Dickinson was very proud to be on the sidelines cheering them on!

The tournament ended with us winning our league. Congratulations boys - you have worked so hard this year and after that great performance yesterday, you deserved to win!

Fantastic Footballers

After school on Wednesday I was at Testlands Hub to watch my son play football for another school and look who I saw!

The boys from Years 5 and 6 played really well.  They won their first match 3:1 and lost the second 4:0 (neither against my son's school so I could cheer them on!)  It was lovely to join parents, siblings and grandparents cheering on the sidelines and great to see children I teach showing different skills to classroom work.

Special thanks must go to Mr Ship and Mr Kelly who organise and coach the children.  Keep it up, Team Shirley Warren!
