Year 6 Blue House pupils are up and running with Play Leader activities at lunch time, with Leela and Hattie the first to run a session with Reception and Year 2 pupils. Pupils were asked to work collaboratively and creatively using the different pieces of sports equipment to make different animal faces. Great fun was had by all, can you guess the animal?!

Against a very strong Dixie side Crescent U11s once again showed both their resilience and maturity in play, coming from behind three times to snatch a fantastic 3-3 draw.
A frantic end-to-end 1st half saw Dixie go into the break 2-1 up, brilliant goal-keeping from Zac and a superb team goal set up by Akaal and finished by Ed G-H keeping Crescent in the game. Despite some great stops by Maxi and excellent defending from Albert, Alex T and Aryaan, the home side were unlucky to go 3-1 down with only a couple of minutes to play, but rather than letting their heads drop showed a real sense determination, spurred into life by the deficit.
Firstly, Sam slotted through an excellent ball to allow Ed G-H to round the keeper and grab a second, before in the final play of the game Timi hammered home a truly superb equaliser from a tight angle.
Player of the match was Sam B for his energy and industry throughout.

The Year 5 and 6 girls have been working hard on their hockey skills during Games afternoons, ahead of their next fixtures against King Henry's after half term.
Following feedback from previous games the students have looked at how to create space and channels to pass the ball through, timing of their tackling and finishing off in the D. We have had some great sessions and are looking forward to seeing them put it in to practice next week in their Inter-House matches.
