Year 5/6 Athletics competition
Tue 30 Jan 2024Today, we took 12 children to Costello school for an athletics tournament. We were facing 6 other schools from our local division. The boys were first up for track events (1, 2 or 3 lengths of the hall). We won every race. While this was happening, the girls were smashing out the field events (long & triple jump, chest throw, javelin, bean bag throw & speed bounce) and really showed how they had taken on board tips and tricks from the practise sessions run by Mr Thompson.
They then swapped over. The girls had a really tough group, but still managed to win 2 of the running races. While the boys also put in a super effort in less familiar events! Finally they all did some relay races (which we have luckily had lots of practice with) and here they really did do Merton proud.
Overall it was a fabulous afternoon. Their attitude and behaviour was amazing.
And we topped the day off with coming 3rd (by only 2 points) which means we MIGHT be going to the next round for Hampshire!

Representing their school for the first time, this new found team should be proud of their perseverance, determination and eagerness to play while only being newly formed. We look forward to working closely as a club after school next term before our next fixture arrives!
Keep smiling boys you did great! -
Year 5/6 Girls Football Match vs. Park View
Fri 26 Jan 2024Wow! What a way to end a week! Our Girls Football team were out playing away today against Park View Junior School. With a few unlucky shots in the first quarter, the girls began to collaborate more and really started to develop well as a team until the final whistle blew.
The team made some excellent tackles, passed the ball into the wider channels and started to put the pressure back onto the opposition as the match developed! Special shout out to Bella who was a force to be reckoned with in defence and Emma for making some fabulous saves. The girls, although defeated, came away feeling accomplished that they had left it all on the pitch and showed how far they had come as a team. Keep working hard girls as we move towards our next fixture after half term!
