Sports News - Summer Term

Year 3 & 4 Football at Aylesbury Vale Academy

Earlier this week, Whitchurch Combined School’s Year 3 & 4 girls travelled to AVA School for a fantastic football fixture. The hard work the girls have been putting into training with Mr Hird was clear to see throughout the match, along with the huge benefit of introducing fixtures and match experience from Year 3 onwards.

The team played with great determination, teamwork, and confidence, showing excellent progress in both their skills and understanding of the game. Their positive attitude stood out just as much as their performance, with the girls remaining smiley, enthusiastic, and supportive of one another from start to finish.

Sophie said, "It was a really exciting game, and we won 5-3. Elsie scored a hat-trick and Emily and I both scored too! Harriet was in goal, and she was nominated player's player of the match by AVA school. Year 3s worked really hard too!"

It was an exciting game for everyone involved, and as an added bonus, Whitchurch secured a brilliant 5–3 victory. Elsie scored an outstanding hat-trick, while Sophie and Emily both added a goal apiece to complete the scoring.

Every player contributed superbly and should be very proud of their efforts. Well done to all the girls for representing the school so positively, and thank you to AVA School for hosting such an enjoyable match.

Year 4 Multi-skills - AGS - Summer 1

The Year 4 children had an amazing time earlier this term taking part in the Multi-Skills event at Aylesbury Grammar School!

A huge thank you to Aylesbury Grammar School for organising such a fantastic event and giving the children such a fun and memorable experience.

Ava & Elsie, said "There were lots of different activities set up to do with sports. We spent 8 minutes at each activity and completed some tennis, rugby and football. There were some obstacle courses too and one activity where you had to move a funny-shaped ball from one side to another! Although it was a bit chilly, we warmed up quick and had lots of fun!"

We were especially proud to hear that our pupils were complimented on their enthusiasm and excellent manners throughout the day. They were wonderful ambassadors for our school! 🌟

Well done, Year 4!

Year 5 Quad Kids - Summer 1

Quad Kids Competition at Cottesloe School

A group of 10 extremely excited Year 5 children attended the Quad Kids competition at Cottesloe School, arriving full of enthusiasm and ready to give their very best.

The children took part in four events against other schools: sprint, long distance, javelin and standing long jump, making excellent use of the school’s new sand pit, which had not even been used by Cottesloe pupils yet.

Throughout the morning, the team showed fantastic determination, effort and sportsmanship in every event. They supported one another brilliantly and represented the school with pride.

The children achieved an excellent result, finishing 3rd out of 5 schools, which is a tremendous accomplishment.

We are incredibly proud of all who took part. It was a fantastic morning of sport and teamwork. Well done Whitchurch!

Year 5 and 6 High Five Netball - Summer 1

Year 5 & 6 Netball at Quainton School

The squad of Jamie, Mollie, Anvitaa, Annabelle and Ruby played a High Five netball match versus Quainton School. They were victorious with a 5-10 victory. Goals from Mollie, Ruby, Anvitaa and Annabelle secured a great win for this improving group of netballers. Mrs Burgess, Mrs Gregory and Ms Parker were thrilled with result and how much they have improved since they began practising before Christmas. Mollie said that although it was a tough game, they were pleased to get their second win of the season. Well done to all involved!

QuadKids - Year 6 - Waddesdon School

An evening of fun athletics as 10 of our Year 6 children competed in the Quad Kids event at Waddesdon School across four events comprising of throwing, jumping, a sprint and longer distance run. The children put in 100% effort with lots of smiles and laughter showing off their best skills as well as real collective effort encouraging each other all the way. After a very competitive couple of hours they were placed joint third...a fabulous achievement against strong competition.

Lewis said, "It was pretty fun, we got to throw vortex howlers - Otto three 29 metres and I three 24 metres!" Eliza said that they had to run 600m which was challenging, but they kept the pace and again Otto excelled in 2 minutes and 16 seconds which was the fastest there!"

Eliza won both the Girls 75 metre sprint and Otto won one of the boys races once, with Stanley winning the other!

Annabelle and Stanley both did well in the Standing Long Jump too!

Well done everyone!

Handball Mavericks Tournament – Summer 1

Mavericks Handball Tournament – 16th April

Our dedicated Year 6 handball team took to the court with great enthusiasm as they competed in a tournament against Aylesbury Vale Academy. Although only two schools were involved, AVA brought enough players to form three teams, while Whitchurch was proudly represented by two teams.

With the sun shining, the children enjoyed an afternoon of round-robin matches, playing continuously for an hour and a half. The atmosphere was full of energy, smiles and laughter throughout.

Whitchurch put on a fantastic display of teamwork, showcasing excellent passing, movement and shooting. Across the matches, our teams achieved an impressive record, winning three games and drawing one, scoring over 40 goals in total.

One of the highlights of the event was when the two Whitchurch teams played each other. It was a closely contested match, but what stood out most was the positive attitude, sportsmanship and encouragement shown between the players on both sides.

We are incredibly proud of all the children and the progress they have made in handball. Their effort, teamwork and spirit truly reflected the best of Whitchurch.

Well done, Whitchurch!
