Netball Event 🏐

Last Friday we took a team to represent the school in the annual netball tournament held at the Duke of York's School.

We played Temple Ewell in the first game, with our opponent winning 3-2. However after a lot of questions, you could tell the whole team now fully understood what their positions were! This showed with the team winning their next three group games 3-0,
2-1, 1-0 against the likes of St Mary's & Barton.

With 3 wins out of 4 games we were sure this was enough to finish in the top 2 and go through to the semi-finals. However, it ended up that two other schools finished on the same points, same points scored and same points conceded. You couldn't write it! We then had to settle this with a penalty shootout which we were so unfortunate to be on the losing side of. A cruel end, but that's sport!

To finish we played a friendly final with the 3rd place school in the other group, which we won 1-0. So, all in all, 4/5 wins for our netballers which included a 3-0 win against the eventual finalists.

Well done to all the team and thank you to the parents who came along to support 🙌🫶👏

Puffin Class started their Beach themed topic off with exploring a paddle board - they worked as a team to pump it up before role playing paddling. They learnt all about wearing a life jacket to keep them safe in the water 🌊🌊
