School Games U11 Mixed Basketball Tournament

Tuesday 7th  February 2023

 

Due to our full school calendar we took a mixed team of 12 to the above event which was in the compete category.  The girls played the first half of the game and the boys the second half. After a very nervous start, we grew in confidence and by the end of the morning we were able to match the other schools.  We discussed our strengths and weaknesses and really enjoyed celebrating when a basket was scored. We played 6 games back to back, but our enthusiasm never wavered as we cheered each other on. It was an amazing morning watching our children rise to the challenge of the compete category, they certainly made us proud!

 

Thank you to the parents for arranging the transport and their fantastic support throughout the

morning.

 

Chance to Shine

We welcomed Lara from Suffolk Cricket for a day of coaching for our Year 4 and 5 children.  They enjoyed the warm up games, before working in teams to try their hand at hitting a cricket ball off a tee, for the fielding team to retrieve whilst they completed as many runs as they could.

They thoroughly enjoyed their sessions and Lara was impressed by their collaboration.
