On Monday 30th March the football team played in the quarter finals of the Harry Shaw Cup against Manor Park School. It was a highly entertaining game with both teams pressing the ball high up the pitch from the beginning.
The day didn’t start off well as 4 of our 9 players were away ill meaning we had to draft in 2 extra players, Kupa (Y6) and Ewan (Y4). Both of these played exceptionally well, you wouldn’t of noticed they hadn’t played in the team before. Kupa and Ryan/Ciaran were solid at the back the whole game and only gave away 1 chance in the first half which unfortunately for us they scored. Although we had the majority of the possession in the first half we failed to create any real clear cut chances and went into half time 1-0 down.
The 2nd half was much like the first as we had all the possession again, this time though we did manage to create 3 or 4 good chances with Michael, Ewan and Jude all going close, however we couldn’t convert these into goals. The one time we did put the ball in the net was unfortunately deemed to be a foul on the keeper as Michael kicked the ball from under their keeper’s hand. Then in the final minute as we pushed everyone up to try and get the equaliser they hit us on the break and after Ethan had made a couple of great saves they scored a 2nd goal to end the game.
Everyone played superbly, it was a real team performance we were just unlucky on the day not to win the game.
On Sunday 1st March over 50 children from Y1 to Y6, along with members of staff, completed the final mile of the School Half Marathon Challenge. Everyone had previously run/walked 12.1 miles in school to match the adult competitors in the race. Have a look below at some of the pictures captured from the day.

Over the last term Year 1 children have been using various programs to control our computers in school. Today they used a program called Kodable where they had to control a fuzzball using lots of different commands in order to collect as many coins as possible. They all had a great time becoming programmers and will try and improve their score next week, have a look at some of the pictures from today’s lesson below.
On Saturday 21st March 12 boys and girls took part in the Coventry Schools Cross Country Championships. More than 400 pupils from 25 plus schools competed in a 3 separate races with each child running approximately 900m.
The 1st race was the mixed relay (2 boys, 2 girls) unfortunately Ciaran was ill and was unable to run in the race. We still managed to compete though as Holbrooks School kindly let one of their reserve runners run for us and the team finished in a very respectful 11th place. Considering they were a runner down and we had someone else running for us this was a great result and you should be very proud.
The girls race was next and once again they were a runner down as Alicia from Y5 couldn’t make the race due to being ill. Roisin, who had only just ran in the mixed race, kindly offered to run again meaning the team could compete and managed to finish in 19th position, well done girls!
The final race of the morning was the boys relay. Luckily everyone was able to compete in this a was led out by Ben who managed to complete the first leg in 6th place. Kupa then took over and ran an incredible leg gaining three places and pushing us up into the medals. In the penultimate leg Callum, spurred on by his mum, managed to gain one more place and gain some ground on the leaders before passing the baton onto Ryan. Straight away Ryan started to close the gap on the leader from Bablake and at around the half way point over took him and opened up about a 10m lead. The Bablake boy followed Ryan maintaining the gap and with around 50m to go started to sprint for home, Ryan responded with a sprint of his own but unfortunately was over taken in the last few metres and finished in a terrific 2nd place, great effort boys!
Thank you to everyone that came in with their wild and wonderful hair today, We had everything from cheetah’s in Year three to cupcakes up in Year six. The whole school looked hairmazing and managed to raise an incredible £234 which will be donated to Myton Hospice. A big thank you to Amie and Catherine from Year 6 who organized this fantastic colourful day.
Over the last few weeks Year 6 have been creating their own version of the popular game Flappy Bird. They started off by creating a very simple game which simply allowed you to move a sprite (the bird) over an obstacle. They then developed this by adding backgrounds, sound fx, music and a scoring system. Below is a couple of the games they created.

Each year, Year 5 and 6 enter the Primary Maths Challenge, alongside other schools from across the country. A whopping 79,000 students part. This year, we were thrilled when Henryk (Y6) was invited to take part in the bonus round in February. Henryk made us all super proud winning a Gold medal with his fantastic score of 24/25. Only 12 pupils across the whole country achieved this score with only another 8 achieving full marks. Well Done Henryk!
Have a go at the first challenge from 2011 here.
