Netball and Personal Bests Week

A Team

The A team have shown great resilience in their last two games, showing determination not to give up when the score lines have not been in our favour. A hefty 16-3 defeat against a strong Holy Trinity team could have led to a despondent approach to their match against Foresters but this was not the case. They worked hard throughout, and did particularly well after some positional changes in the second half, to bring the score to 8-3 – with a faster start to the game they could have definitely made this a much closer contest.

The last league game of the season is on Monday vs Brookfield so we hope for a strong end to the term and an enjoyable game!

B Team

The B team have now completed their season and remain undefeated! A 7-0 win against Holy Trinity followed by an 8-3 win against Foresters saw them continue to demonstrate excellent team play across the court. The development in the quality of their play is so apparent – from footwork to winning turnovers and accurate shooting technique – an excellent set of results that they should be extremely proud of!

Well done for a full season of excellent play to Hei, Carson, Scarlett, Hailey, Alba, Hannah, Neve Aldea and Hanisk.

Personal Bests Week

This week Years 1-6 have been involved in setting and aiming to improve upon their own personal bests in a variety of activities.

We have discussed how important it can be to focus on improving your own results rather than always comparing your achievements to those of others. By setting yourself personal, smaller, challenging but realistic targets that you can work towards, your progress to your bigger, end goals can be much quicker and much more rewarding! We hope that this is something that the children can apply to many aspects of their school journeys, not just PE.

Through javelin, chest push, standing long jump, speed bounce and FootGolf, the children were able to apply these principles and will revisit their PBs in the summer term to see if they can improve on them even further.

We now look forward to a full individual and inter-house PB programme next term!
