Sports Report

It's been a busy couple of weeks for sports competitions in Fern Hill.

30 children from years 5 and 6 participated in a 2km Cross-Country event, competing against over 650 other children. Of the 4 categories, we had the race winner in Year 5 girls, and were placed 3rd in the overall for Year 6 girls. The boys were also strong finishers, resulting in Fern Hill being placed top 12 in all four categories out of the 33 schools competing. Congratulations to Skye H for winning the Year 5 girls race, and well done to everyone for the amazing effort they all put in to the morning.

The Year 5 and 6 boys footballers were also in action, competing for a place at the London Youth Games. Sadly, it was not to be this year, but a huge well done to the team: Rafael, Masa, Finn, Anish, Nehemiah, Kai, Josh T and Zeke.

Last Friday afternoon saw the younger children having a go. Year 2 were invited to Chessington Community College to help their GCSE Young Sports Leaders develop practical skills in coaching activities. On a chilly day, there were football games, basketball events and netball skills being taught, and they were all amazing in both attitude and effort. I am looking forward to watching these skills develop as they move through the school. Well done to: Kabisha, Kayley, Karlsen, Thomas K, Helios, Lola, Max, Maisy, Paige, Matthew, Thomas C and Rosie.

Lots more competitions coming up, so watch out for more details as and when they happen.
