Year 5 and 6 Girls' Tag Rugby Festival
On Tuesday 7th October, we went to Hertford Rugby Club. We arrived at 12 and had our lunch. Then we made our way to warm up. After a short break we headed to pitch 3 for our first game. Our first game was good but we needed to try harder. In our second game, our confidence had grown and Ivy scored some amazing tries. In our third game Evie reached out and scored a try. In our fourth match, we really had to push through. In total we played 6 friendly matches. Our player of the day was Evie Amoss, for pushing out of her comfort zone and helping her team out.

Football Match against Priors Wood Primary School
Yesterday, October 2nd, we played a friendly match against Priors Wood. In the first half they had lots of chances but Dylan made a good clearance to stop a goal. Goal kick. William booted the ball up the pitch, Priors Wood got the ball and our defence couldn’t track back fast enough and Priors Wood scored.
In the second half, they had lots of crosses but our defenders stopped them from scoring. William booted the ball up field to Josh and there was a bad tackle which led to us getting a free kick. Josh sadly missed. Their goalie kicked the ball up the pitch but Josh made 3 fantastic blocks to prevent them from scoring. William booted the ball up to Charlie. He crossed it to George but sadly it missed the goal. At the end of the game the score was 1:0 to Priors Wood. Player of the match went to George for his great chance and playing consistently.

Year 3 Development Day
We went to Sele School and we were put into different groups and had lots of sports we could try. We started with street snooker. We had to throw bean bags to hit targets and then spin a wheel to see what spot we had to stand on before throwing the bean bags at numbers to get the highest score. We also did basketball, and played orienteering games. We had to follow maps to find different numbers under the cones. We got quite confused on this. You had to keep the dots at the top of your map. Then we did football. We had to keep the ball in a square. We tucked sports bibs into our shorts and the opponents had to grab the bib and then they would get the ball. Our favourite bit was having fun doing the activities, we had a really good time.

Wodson Games
On Thursday 18th September, Year 6 went to Wodson Park to compete in the Wodson Games. We represented Switzerland and we had all made flags for the parade. We took part in a variety of sports which we enjoyed. They included: hockey, netball, lawn bowls, and martial arts. Although some sports were new to us, we tried our hardest, improved our skills and had a really good time.
