Year 4 are having a fantastic time on their residential trip to Sherwood Forest. All children had a great day yesterday exploring the forest, making clay boggarts and producing some wonderful art using nature. Mr Barbuti informs us that all the children had a good nights sleep last night and were raring to go again this morning.
Apologies to those of you who have been looking on Facebook for updates, Mr Barbuti has told us there is no signal in the forest at all, which has obviously prevented him from posting.
The 'A' football team became the latest group to win the coveted Newark Schools' Autumn Football tournament. The boys were undefeated in their group, winning 4 and drawing 2 of their 6 matches including a resounding 3-0 win over fierce rivals Chuter Ede.
The team advanced into the semi-final without conceding a goal and continued in this style in the knock-out round. The semi against Coddington was an excellent match; Dean Robinson securing victory with an outstanding finish with 4 seconds left on the referee's watch!
The final was a tight affair too, pitching us against John Blow from Collingham, who we had beaten 2-0 earlier in the day. Still 0-0 after extra-time the match went to penalties.
The deciding kick fell to goalkeeper Harvey Willis who calmly slotted the ball home for a famous victory.
The boys will now go on to the County 7-a-side and 5-a-side finals representing Newark & Sherwood District. Thank you to everyone involved.
The first football matches of the season went very well for both teams.
Team A won 1 - 0
A very good performance by all players including the new players who made a great impact within the side. Some excellent passing throughout the game saw an excellent goal from Toby White.
Team B won 1 - 0
Lots of new players in Team B still getting used to each others style of play but looking very promising for the future. Only goal scored was direct from a free kick by Sam Greeley.
Excellent start from both teams. Well done.
