Mini olympics continued... Good News!!!!

Mini olympics continued...

Scenes from the boys' basketball match.
Our tallest player!

Our guard gets ready for action

The zone defence was almost impossible for the other teams to break through

The girls went for a one on one defence

But just look at their attack!

Two team members take the ball down the court

Just a blur of movement

Then one team member gets ahead ready to receive the ball

Great play, girls!

And just look! We won the overall trophy!

Sports included football, basketball, relay and swimming - no pictures of the last two, I'm afraid.
But a fantastic well done to our teams - and a big thankyou to the sports leaders, prefects and staff at Ellowes for organising such a fantastic day

Ellowes mini Olympics part one. Football and the teams

A team of around 35 children went to Ellowes Hall Sports College to join in a Mini Olympics competition against other local primary schools

Some of the team waiting for the minibus to arrive

The boys' football gets under way.

And so does the girls' football

The day was run by sports leaders from Ellowes. Here's the girls team with the pupils who were their coaches for the day

Inside the Sports Hall, the teams wait for their next instructions 

Warming up

The day was well attended.

 More tomorrow....

The Magic Key part 3

Finally to story land.

Dragons and princes

Rapunzel and Snow White

The whole cast

The end.

A lovely, lovely production. Well done everyone!

The Magic Key, part 2

The Magic Key, cont'd

The children travel to a land of pirates

 ...with Peter Pan and the fairies

 Then, on to space - the stars dance

 And so do the moons

 Next, under the sea, where giant jelly fish swim

 Mer-men and mermaids dance

 Little yellow fish in the deep blue sea

 They all join together

The Magic Key, part 1

Scenes from Key Stage 1's production of "The Magic Key".Below, the main characters.

Below - the magic key takes the children to the jungle

Mrs Shackleton joins in with gusto

Then, off to the Wild West. Cowboys,...

....cowgirls, ... 

...and funky dudes

Football - the only rain this week!

Our girls' football team played against Colley Lane

Here are a few snaps

It was raining and cold

Our goalie didn't have much to do 

The final score was 1-0 to Jesson's. Well done girls.
And thanks to coach Mr Seager, referee Mr Wilkinson Jones and linesman Mr Hayward.

Lunchtime

Two scenes from a tense battle of Table Football - part of Golden Time. (I don't know the score!)

In the dinner hall 

 
 

A visiting parent governor observes the lunchtime

 

Back in the Golden Room, fun with puppets

There are also dolls to play with

And you can eat your dinner in there with friends
