Netball Club Returns
On Friday, we restarted our wonderful netball club and we had a fantastic turn out. It’s great to see so many children wanting to take up netball and learn new skills. This week we had a short warm up and the went straight into games. The children now have favourite positions but we decided to mix it up and play some game time out of positions too. We can’t wait to start the league after Easter!

Today we had the pleasure of taking sixteen of our Year 4 children to represent the school at the Blackburn with Darwen Schools Key Step Gymnastics competition at S Bede’s. They took part in three routines ; floor exercise, body management and vault. It was a very long day but the children stayed focused and worked so hard to remember the three complex routines. We had a mixed team, two girls teams and a boys team. They all worked solidly within their squads showing perseverance and encouraging each other every step of the way. We can’t wait to hear the outcome in a couple of days when the results will be shared.
