It has been a busy end to the term. Last Friday, 15 boys and girls from Year 5 went to Stamford Borderville Sports Centre to take part in a Basketball Festival run by the college sports leaders. The morning was spent learning lots of skills and drills. Watching the children grow in confidence, showing determination and resilience was the highlight of the day. One pupil said, “I didn’t think I was any good at basketball, and I am now!” After lunch, we played matches against Bluecoat Primary School; for a festival, the matches were tough. We had three teams of 5; all children used the skills from the morning to try to score goals and travel with the ball within the rules of basketball. For lots of the pupils it was the first time they had represented the school, and in a new sport - I was extremely proud of each and every one of them. We also won two individual awards, Gracie-May won Star Girl and Joaquin won most improved! Well done to all the pupils and a big thank you to Mrs Martin and Mrs Pinchin for supporting us on the sidelines.
