    Year 5 & 6 Dodgeball -  Autumn 1

    Dodgeball Competition

    A team of Year 5 and 6 children travelled to Mandeville this week to compete in a dodgeball tournament against several local schools. The children demonstrated excellent teamwork, agility and determination throughout the competition, showing great sportsmanship in every match.

    While we didn't finish in first place, the team should be incredibly proud of their performance. They represented our school brilliantly, displaying fantastic skills, courage and a positive attitude from start to finish. Most importantly, they had lots of fun and enjoyed the opportunity to compete against other schools.

    A special thank you to Mrs Sewter for taking the children and supporting them throughout the event. We are very grateful for her time and encouragement.

    Well done to all of the children involved for their outstanding effort, enthusiasm and excellent representation of our school! 🏐👏

    Year 5 & 6 Padel at Ayelsbury Rugby Club - Autumn 1

    Padel Festival at Aylesbury Rugby Club

    Last week, 10 children from Years 5 and 6 enjoyed a fantastic morning taking part in a Padel Festival at Aylesbury Rugby Club.

    Padel is a fast-growing racket sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. Played on a smaller court with solid bats and slightly different rules, it is an exciting and accessible game for players of all abilities.

    Our pupils had the opportunity to play alongside children from several other local schools, developing their skills while demonstrating excellent teamwork, sportsmanship and enthusiasm throughout the event.

    Ethan L said:

    "It's a bit like tennis but with a different bat, and it's definitely something I would like to try again!"

    The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and we are grateful to the Insignis School Sports Partnership for providing yet another exciting sporting opportunity for our pupils. Well done to everyone who took part! 🎾👏

     

    KS2 House Games 

    What a fantastic morning of sport and teamwork! The first House Games of the year, and the first for Year 3, brought plenty of excitement, energy, and smiles. Children competed enthusiastically in a round-robin of football, line ball, netball, and handball, all hoping to help their house secure victory.

    There were some outstanding performances and impressive sporting skills on show throughout the morning. However, what was most heartwarming was seeing every child fully involved, especially those who may not usually consider themselves sporty. Their enthusiasm, determination, and willingness to give their best embodied the true spirit of the event.

    After a closely fought competition, Hartwell narrowly beat Claydon by just a few points to claim the title of House Champions. It was a wonderful morning in the sunshine and a fantastic example of participation, teamwork, and school spirit.

    The team from S4A, who organised and ran the games, were incredibly complimentary about all of the children, praising their enthusiasm, sportsmanship, excellent manners, and the positive ethos of our school community.
