Year 5&6 Football Team
Year 5 and 6 football team had an outstanding day on the field, winning both of their matches with determination and skill! They kicked off with a strong victory over St. Joseph’s, and then, in a thrilling second match against St. Cuthbert’s, they made an incredible comeback. After trailing 2-0, the team showed true grit and teamwork to turn the game around and win 6-2. A fantastic display of resilience, teamwork, and sportsmanship!
Street Dance 3 in Year 4
In our third dance session we revised all of our previous dance moves and then added another which was called a top rock. We continued to build our group dance with step cross, step cross, scoop up the sweets, push, push, cross, cross. The moves were done at a quicker pace this week so the children found it quite challenging but everyone worked really hard to improve their ability to join the moves successfully.

We learned about the story of Rama and Sita and we even got to dress up in traditional Indian clothing and dance together. We also enjoyed eating delicious samosas cooked by Prags!

Year 6 Golden Time
After showing so much respect and gratitude at the Remembrance Service, Year 6 were rewarded with an early golden time on the new play area in Whitehall Park. It was wonderful to see them all having fun and getting along with each through comprising and waiting patiently.
