Mini Tennis !

Posted on July 10th, 2022

08/07/22

On a hot sunny Friday morning 2 boys and 2 girls from years 5 and 6 took part in a Mini Tennis Development Festival, at Lynnsport.  As in previous weeks no scores were taken officially, however the first to get to 7 points won the game.  Six teams took part and every team played each other twice, this meant that each person played 8 games, 40 games. As with the previous tennis festivals we wanted to end the morning on a 20/20 win/lose ratio and the children were extremely happy to achieve this, in fact it was 22/18 with some very near misses at 6-7. It was certainly a good experience.

Well played Pixie, Harriet, Sam, Harry.

JUBILEE WEEK

Posted on June 9th, 2022

We have had great fun focusing on Jubilee this week. Our class got the decade 2010’s to explore. We did a whole variety of things, including:

*Acrostic poems about jubilee

*Information booklets about key events that happened every year in the 2010’s.

*Listened to music that came out in this era.

*Learnt the song ‘Sing’ by Gary Barlow to perform at our street party Friday.

*Created a Chuck Close styled art piece of Her Majesty the Queen’s portrait.

Dynamo Cricket

On Tuesday 17^th May, 8 year 5/6 competed in our cluster Dynamo Cricket Competition at North Runcton. It was a warm mostly sunny day and everyone was excited to be competing again.

The nine schools taking part were divided into 3 pools, we had Gayton and South Wootton.  We sat the first match out and watched Gayton win by one run against South Wootton. It was our turn now against South Wootton and they won which left us to play Gayton, we won. This left all the teams on 3 points which meant it was down to average run rate, unfortunately that put us in third which left them a little disappointed but they learnt a lot and were determined to improve.

The second round of matches pitted us against Flitcham and Whitefriars we found our stride and with some very good catches and consistent bowling, we won both games. They all played with enthusiasm, supporting each other throughout and were very sporting whether winning or losing.

St Martha’s  won on the day with South Wootton in second and Holy Meadows in third all of which qualified for the cluster finals.

A surprise was to come, a whistle sounded halfway through the afternoon, everyone assembled near the pavilion and Rocket Ice Lollies were given out for everyone to enjoy, which they did.  Once consumed play resumed.

Well Done Cole, Dexter, Joshua, Finlay, Harry, Sam, Charlie and George.

Gardening club news

Posted on March 28th, 2022

On Friday we made Mother’s Day arrangements for the children to take home.

In the rest of our little garden the spring flowers have been beautiful.  We have broad beans, peas and onions all growing strongly. We’ve also got lots of seedlings of various flowers and pots of sweet peas.

Gardening club members have worked really hard to make a lovely and productive garden.

Trigolf taster day

Trigolf at Lynnsport

On Thursday Mrs Day and Miss Leftley took 10 children from Keystage 2 to the cluster Trigolf Festival.

It was a lovely sunny morning, ideal as the event was held outside on the hockey pitches.

There were 8 activities, to learn and play, which were run by the Springwood Sports Leaders. Several other schools attended and everyone seemed to be having a lot of fun.

A great morning!

Netball success at Smthdon!

SMITHDON NETBALL TOURNAMENT

SMITHDON NETBALL TOURNAMENT

On Wednesday afternoon/evening  the Netball team took part in only their second competition as competitions are limited this year we had changed the team to give more of them opportunities.  There were 7 other teams and we were divided into 2 pools, Heacham Lightning, Docking Thunder and Dersingham were in our pool. Heacham Hotshots, Snettisham Storm, Docking Dynamos and Ingoldisthorpe were in the other pool.

The matches were 10 mins one way and our first match against Dersingham began nervously, the courts are so much bigger than ours, we scored and won 2-0. After rotating the second was against Heacham Lightning, we started this in much the same way, both teams having chances but again we won 2-0. Our confidence was certainly growing, whether it was the fact we went straight back on to face Docking rather than having a break I don’t know but we played very well and won 8-0.

So in winning our pool we played the winners of the other one who were also unbeaten, Ingoldisthorpe. This proved to be extremely exciting with both teams having chances but defending brilliantly, they couldn’t be separated and Mrs Bowers felt the right decision was for both schools to be awarded first place. A very fitting end to the evening!

They supported and encouraged each other throughout, gaining confidence and were rewarded, hopefully there will be more events which will stand us in good stead as a club for next year and the full program of events they are hoping to put on.

Well Done Everyone!

Sporting events – Kurling news

Posted on March 27th, 2022

New Age Kurling

New Age Kurling

This was Round 4 of the Omnes Games, held once again at LynnSport on Friday 25^th March.

A team of 6 attended the event from 5/6s, similarly to the actual game 4 play at any one time and you aim for a target to score points although points weren’t counted. There were 8 other schools; Denver, Flitcham, Holy Cross, Nelson Academy, South Wootton, North Wootton, Southery and Whitefriars which we played in rounds and we rotated our players after each game.

It was a relatively new sport and deceptively difficult, knowing exactly how hard to actually push the stone. The Southery teacher and I had a go and yes, getting it just right was very difficult.

The children remarked on how good it was to try something a bit different, though a little frustrating at times.

Another super experience!
