Our first Inter-House Sports Competitions of the year

Just prior to half-term, Years 1 to 6 all took part in a variety of inter-house sports competitions.

All the pupils, who were present, took part in this first Inter-house sports competition of the academic year. Years 1, 2 and 3 completed a skills circuit, comprising six activities; the children's’ enthusiasm was reflected in both their focus and the volume of noise they emitted!!

Due to the larger numbers in Years 4 and 6, the girls were able to play netball competitions and the boys football ones, whereas in Year 5 all the pupils took part in mixed netball matches. Weather permitting, we will have a second round of different competitions before the end of term.

The children in Years 5 and 6 assisted by helping to take photographs of their events and the Sports Captains in Year 6 organised their house teams; it was good to see their positive approach to these responsibilities. Below is a table of the results and the children have all gained house points for their sporting endeavours.
