Netball/Basketball School Tournament
During the last week of term, children from classes in years 3, 4 and 6 (year 5s were on a school trip that day) were selected to take part in a netball/basketball competition where two teams were selected from each class and they all played against each other in a round robin format.
The sports ambassadors from year 6 helped run the tournament, organising and refereeing the games, showing excellent maturity and organisational skills in doing so.
The games were fast, competitive and showcased the high skill levels that children at our school have at throwing, catching and moving. Special mention must go to the year 3 and 4 teams who tried really hard and competed really well against children 2/3 years older. This is good for their self-esteem and confidence, proving to themselves they can compete and play against older children.
The year 6 team which eventually came out on top in a close competition included : Ciaran, Raymond, Ruby, Theo, Thomas and Sebastian. Throughout the year we will be holding similar tournaments, but at different sports, trying to include as many children as possible. The tournaments are very popular with the children and have many benefits for each individual child involved in them.
Intra-School Netball Tournament
During the first four weeks of term,the pupils have been playing Netball during their PE lessons. The skills they have been learning include : passing,shooting,possession,finding/creating space,and position specific skills.The lessons are tailored for each different yar group,with all pupils taking part wherever possible.There has been a definite improvement in the ABC's of the children during this time,which is good to see,and as always the children have had lots of fun,and enjoyed playing together individually,and as part of a group/team.
At the end of the four weeks,the pupils took part in an intra-school tournament where a team of children from each year group were picked to form a team,and play against the other year groups.This gives the children the chance to work as a team as part of an elite group,and to compete against other children,both younger and older.The games are played in a competitive,fun ennvironment and are really worthwhile to the holistic development of each child chosen.During the course of the year,we will try to include all children in one of these tournaments,so they get to experience competetitive,yet fun sport.
During the Netball competiton teams from Years 3,4,5 and 6 played six minute matches against each other.The teams receive 3 points for a win,1 for a draw, and 0 pts if they lose.All teams tried very hard and played really well.The Year 6's came out on top gaining 9 points and Years 3,4 and 5 came joint second each gaining 2 points.A big well done to all players for getting picked for their teams,and for playing competitively but in the right spirit.

On the 21st September, our year 5&6 Netball team played a tournament against other primary schools from the area.
Our team included Grace H,Grace M,Zara,Stanley,Dylan and Beauty who was our captain, Mr Lyness was coaching us,and he did a good job helping us and looking after us.
We played 3 games,drawing 1,and losing 2,which was quite a good effort considering it was our first games together,and the other teams were far more experienced.We had lots of fun,really enjoyed it,and our behaviour was really good.
We cant wait to play more games throughout the year'.

Netball Results
During the last few months we've been staging inter-class/year tournaments for various sports,where each year group has 5/6 people selected for each sport,and they play against each other,finding the best class for each sport
The Netball was of a high standard.The extra height of the year 6's really helped them a lot!All year groups showed a high standard of play,showed an excellent attitude,and the passing and movement was of a particularly good standard.

Hi-5 Netball is a 5-a-side game where the players have a rotation of positions at each quarter. 7-9 players are in the team with only 5 on court each quarter. All players have at least 1 rest period where they have to score and keep a record of centre passes as well as cheering on their team.
