The sun shone on Monday 16th June when we held our Key Stage Two inter-house rounders competition. Year Three and Four played in one pool and Year Five and Six in the other pool with the total of rounders scored being added together at the end of the afternoon.
Hawker ( Yellow) | 28 |
Grenville ( Blue) | 28 |
Gurney (Red) | 20 1/2 |
That left us in a tie-break situation where all of Hawker played against all of Grenville in a one-hit-each game, which Hawker won 6 1/2 - 5.
Well done Hawker!
We are so proud of all of our pupils who took part in the Lifeboat Run. We also had three pupils, Jake, Wilbur and Coen, who placed in the top three in their year groups; well done to all of our athletes.

Children in Key Stage Two took part in an inter-house football tournament on Friday 4th November as all of Key Stage Two had been working on their football skills in the previous half-term.
The children were split into two teams per house in Years 3 and 4 and two teams per house in Years 5 and 6 and then teams played each other.
At the end all of the points were added together and there was a draw! Gurney (red) and Hawker (yellow) had the same points and the same goal difference!
Mrs Cook and Miss Cole took a group of children to Budehaven to take part in the first festival of the year, a Year One and Two Ball Skills Festival. The children had the chance to mix with children from other schools whilst practicing ball skills associated with many different sports.
