On Tuesday 6 boys from Years 5 and 6 took part in the Football Catholic Rally at the AT7 Centre. They never lost a match in the group stage winning 1 and drawing 2 – this meant they finished in 2nd place on goals difference going into the quarter-finals.
The quarter-final against St Osburg’s was a close match finishing 2 -2. It was the same score after extra time which meant the game went to penalties. Everyone on our team scored their penalty and Percy (who was playing in goal for the first time) made a great save sending us through to the semi-final against St John Fisher.
The boys started fast in the semi-final, they pressed the ball well and didn’t allow John Fisher to settle. They won impressively 5 -1 sending them into the Final.
Corpus Christ was the opponent in the Final. Unfortunately having not lost a game all morning we came up just short in this game losing 5 – 2. They never stopped trying throughout the game and at one stage pulled it back from 3 nil to 3 -2. Well played everyone you were a credit to the school whilst you were there and fully deserve your silver medals.
Four children took part in an Archery competition today. They participated in three separate events, target throw, arrow for distance, and traditional bow and narrow target. They all performed brilliantly scoring a team total of 66 points. We will hopefully find out the result later this week.
Today all the children took part in the Schools Mini London Marathon World Record Attempt. Over 200 children took part each running at least 1 mile – Well Done Everyone! Fingers crossed we break the World Record.
Wow! what a week it has been and we haven’t finished yet.
On Monday morning 8 Year 2 children took part in a Gymnastics competition held at Tribe Gymnastics. They each performed two routines, 1 floor and 1 vault which they have been practicing for the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately, we don’t know the result of this competition yet as there are more heats taking part throughout the week.
The first of our County Finals took part on Monday afternoon. Our Year 4 speed stackers travelled to Leamington to compete against 15 other schools from Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull. Despite their best efforts and lots of practice at home we didn’t quite finish in the top 3. I don’t know the exact result yet but when I do I will let them know.
Tuesday was a day for rowing with 2 County Finals taking place in the morning and afternoon. The first competition was an all-boys row, they had to race both individually and then in a relay. This was extremely competitive and very very tight from start to finish. There were 16 schools taking part overall and they finished in a fantastic 8th place.
The afternoon saw 4 more children from Year 6 take part in a competition called 4 U Row. The format was very similar to the morning event with individual and team rows. The team all rowed fantastically and all achieved PBs in all their rows. This meant that out of the 16 schools they finished in an incredible 2nd place.
Finally, this morning children from Years 5 and 6 took part in the Sportshall Athletics County Final. This time they were competing against 7 other schools in various different races and field events. Again the event was extremely competitive, but despite this, we finished in a superb 4th place with 240 points just 14 points from 2nd place.
I am extremely proud of everyone who has taken part in the competitions this week. Getting to just 1 County Final is a real achievement but they have managed to get to 4 in just 1 week. Their behaviour, sportsmanship, determination, respect and most importantly enjoyment has been a pleasure to witness. Well done everyone!
Tomorrow it’s the turn of our Cross Country runners who will be taking on lots of others schools from across Coventry as they run for 1 mile around Bablake Fields. Good Luck!
PS. A big thank you to Mrs Rae for coming along to all the events, without her we would not have been able to attend.
Yesterday Year 4 girls took part in their 3rd football tournament of the year. Each month they attend the AT7 centre to compete against other Schools from Coventry. They all gave it their all drawing 1 match and marginally losing 2 others. The girls also had the chance to hold the Arnold Clark Cup, this is the cup the England Lionesses will be competing for at the CBS Arena on Sunday. Well done girls keep up the hard work!

This term in P.E. Year 6 have been learning to play badminton. They’ve learnt how to serve both on the forehand and backhand, how to play defensive overhead clears and how to play attacking smash and drop shots. Today they put all of these skills into use as they played in their very own tournament.

On Friday 18 children from Year 4 – 6 took part in a swimming Gala at The Pingles Swimming Baths in Nuneaton. They competed against 15 other Catholic Primary Schools from Coventry in a mixture of individual and relay races. The morning heats saw us compete against all the West Coventry Schools, the children swam brilliantly finishing in 2nd place winning a trophy and qualifying for the finals in the afternoon. The afternoon was extremely competitive, unfortunately we didn’t quite make the top three however they a;; gave it their best. Well done everyone we are extremely proud of you all.
