Volleyball

Posted on December 4th, 2022

VOLLEYBALL

As this is part of the Omnes Games, it is a non-competitive event where schools take part in a sport they wouldn’t necessarily play in school. The matches are run by the young coaches from local high schools and the college.

Sandringham was one of seven schools taking part; others were Ashwicken, Nelson Academy, South Wootton, Whitefriars, Holy Cross and West Lynn. They played each other in a round robin format.

Initially a few wondered what Volleyball was but soon got involved and gave it a go! Their responses on returning were very positive, saying they had had a good time, it was fun, they had learnt something new and had enjoyed it a lot which was good to hear.

Cross Country Finals

Cluster Cross Country Finals

Lynnsport 24.11.22

It was a cold, sunny morning and with thankfully not the wind of the previous event.

There were around 50 in each race which understandably made everyone feel rather nervous but once the races started things calmed. After all, it was a step up with all the top 10 qualifiers from each cluster in attendance, so all the children were winners.

All 5 of our qualifiers competed and completed the courses, giving it their all, with the two Harriet’s finishing in the top 20 and the boys mid division. Thank you to the parents for your support.

The thing that sticks out for me personally was their care and support for each other, it was lovely to watch.

Great Effort!

A wonderful day at the races !

Cross Country 10.11.22

On a bright November morning 18 children took part in the Town Cross Country at Lynnsport, over varying distances, 600m, 1km and 1.6km, according to their age group.  As always it was very well supported with large groups in each race. The course and format were similar to last year, they followed a bike that showed them the way and finished through 2 big flags where parents and schools lined the way.

The top ten from every race goes on to the next round against the top ten from the other clusters later this month, at Lynnsport over the same course.

The children though nervous enjoyed the event but commented on how different a race against other schools is compared to racing in school. They were all amazing and gave it their all as well supporting and encouraging others.

The first race (600m)for the younger ones is more for fun, they don’t go forward into the next round but our children did very well with Rex 4^th, Cooper 7^th with Ollie, Harrison and Zac finishing just outside the first ten which is promising for next year.

The years 3 and 4 raced over a distance of 1km, our 4 competitors, Isaac, Isaac, Harriet and Bridget racing well with Harriet and Isaac R finishing 9^th and 6^th respectively.

The 5 and 6 races were over the mile distance of 1.6km which definitely needed some determination, which Dylan, Lenny, Foster, Harry, Charlie, Sam, George, Finlay and Harriet had to complete.  Our qualifiers from this group were Dylan 2^nd, Harriet 4^th and Foster 10^th.

A Great Effort Everyone!

Dogeball fun

DODGEBALL

Friday afternoon saw the beginning of The Omnes Games, a six game taster of different sports throughout the year. Eight children from Yrs 1/2 and eight from KS2 took part in some friendly games against other schools. The idea being they learn a new game and have some fun too, in a non- competitive environment, I have to say it doesn’t always work out that way which is a pity. The College provided the coaching staff as part of their own practical training which gives everyone experience.

The feedback from the children and staff was very positive and they all said they had lots of fun and felt they improved as the sessions went on, the pictures certainly say that too.

Well Done Everyone!

Triumph at the Quiksticks Hockey!

New Season of School Sport 2022/23

Quicksticks Hockey at Lynnsport for years 3&4

This was our first sporting event of the school year, it comprised of a fun skills festival and a competition both were games against other schools. In the festival it was about learning the game and its skills without the pressure of score taking. Whilst the competition was more about using our skills to try and win matches, scores were taken and a semi-final and final took place.

The festival team had a great time and played many schools, working hard as a team.  Mrs Collison said they listened and worked brilliantly as a team.

WELL DONE!

Mila, Amelia, Chloe, Bridget

The remaining 6 children took part in the competition where 8 teams were placed in 2 pools and played each other, 12 minute matches with 2 players substituting every 4 minutes, 4 on the pitch at a time. The winners playing the runners up, of the other pool as a semi-final, then the winners of those games playing each other in the final. We were pitted against Glebe House, Terrington St Clement, and St Germans. The final placings were extremely close but we won our first match against Glebe 3-1, drew 3-3 against St Germans and then drew again 0-0 against Terrrington. As Terrington and St Germans both lost a match it meant we had won with St Germans finishing in 2^nd place.  Our next match was against St Marthas, we came out fighting and played superbly winning by 4. The children had fought very hard and produced some great play which was commented on by several people. The final was against St Germans who had beaten Dersingham, could we go one better? I didn’t realise how long 4 minutes was when you are leading 3-2. It was a fantastic match and both teams deserved to win as they played their hearts out! They were so pleased, saying do we really get that trophy?

Well Done!

A SUPER DAY!

WW2 trip year 3 and 4

Posted on June 10th, 2022

Year 3 and 4 have been on a trip to support their studies of World War 2. They had a fabulous time and just look at the feedback about our amazing children!

Subject: school visit to the NNR

Dear Mrs Gardener,

I am writing on behalf of Libby Henshaw, David Parmenter and myself Chris Parmenter.  We are all volunteers at the NNR and for years were part of the education team which sadly is no more. Libby is a retired teacher herself.,

We had the pleasure of entertaining your lovely years 3 and 4 when they came for a day out and to see our beautiful Railway Cottage, Museum and Model Railway.

We want to tell you that they were a real joy to interact with, and we were able to have a lot of fun whilst they learned more about the WW2 project they are doing in school.  Their families and yourselves must be incredibly proud of them.  They are a credit to you all.

The teachers also were so interactive and helpful. Clearly there is much mutual respect between teachers and pupils and it really shows in their behaviour and knowledge and willingness to learn.

We hope they took away some useful memories and that they had a lovely day.  We would love to see any photos that were taken by your staff.  We certainly  enjoyed it as much as they seemed to.

Kind regards and best wishes

Chris Parmenter  NNR re- enactment volunteer.

Netball News – Bee Fliers

Posted on April 4th, 2022

Bee Fliers Netball

at KES Tuesday 29^th March

Twelve boys and girls from years 3 and 4 attended this festival along with 10 other teams. They were all divided into 3 pools and played each other rotating into another set of pools and once again playing each other, unfortunately there was not enough time to complete this round. Four children were on court, a third of a full size netball court, at a time, 2 defenders and 2 attackers who were rotated on and off court after each game, basic netball rules were adhered to and at times it was quite hectic. Both teams did very well and there was a distinct improvement as the morning progressed. Although some of them were a little nervous it was a good introduction into the game and it certainly helps playing against other schools.

There were lots of smiles and positive comments from the children on the day and their parents the next. It was great to see the younger ones playing and being competitive.

Thank you to Mrs Garrard too.

Well done Jaime, Neve, Elsa, Lacey, Pip, Amelia, Foster, Lenny, Dylan, Charlie, William, Isaac D.
