Sporting Success
School Sports Partnership Netball Tournament (Year 3 and 4)
We took 2 teams (the Lions and the Tigers) to the netball tournament which was split over two evenings this term.
This was the first time most of the children had played netball, but they worked well as a team to defend and attack resulting in the Lions winning and the Tigers coming second.
More schools took part in the second round of the tournament, but both teams continued to play incredibly well. They played in different groups, and they both only lost one game meaning they had to play each other in the semifinal. This was a very competitive game, but the Lions came away victorious by 2 goals.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t time to play the final but all of the children really enjoyed the event and improved their skills throughout.
Key Stage 2 Dance Festival
17 children from across Key Stage 2, took part in a dance festival at South Dartmoor Community College. It was an inspiring afternoon with a total of 86 children across 7 different primary schools. Throughout the festival, the children explored the theme of magnets and learnt how to translate scientific ideas into movement. They explored the idea of magnets attracting and repelling.
EFL Utilita Kids Cup football tournament (Year 5 and 6)
Our Year 5 and 6 football team had the opportunity to play in their first competitive football tournament of the year this week. The tournament was run by Exeter City Community Trust with 16 schools across the county taking part.
The team had a strong start to the tournament, winning 5 games and drawing 2. This meant they were top of their group at the end of the group stages without conceding a single goal. This took us through to the quarter finals of the cup stage in the competition.
In the quarter finals, the boys won their game against Trinity School on penalties. In the semifinal, they played Exwick which they won 1-0, taking them through to the final against Kingskerswell. After going 1-0 down, the boys stepped up the pressure and Theo pulled back a crucial goal making the score 1-1 at the final whistle. For the second time in the competition, the boys went to penalties. They held their nerve and came away as winners of the tournament.
This now takes them through to the Regional Finals which will be played in March.
26.11.25 There have been lots of sporting events and activities taking place over the last half term in which lots of children have been involved.
Trampoline and Flight Festival Some pupils from Year 5 and 6 went to South Dartmoor School to take part in a variety of stations focussing on flight and coordination. They had the opportunity to use the big trampolines and perfect controlled landings off spring boards, trampettes and box tops.
Year 5/6 Football Team The boys have been really busy this half term but they have continued their successes.. Before half term, they played a friendly against Our Lady and St Patrick in Teignmouth and won. They also played their second league game against Highweek at home. It was a dominant performance but the boys played well as a team and won 6-1. Earlier this week, they took part in a tournament organised by Exeter City Football Club. They played incredibly well throughout the day and only conceded one goal in the whole tournament. In the final, they won on penalties against Kingskerswell School and now go through to the regional finals in March. An amazing achievement, well done!
A mixed Year 5/6 football team played in the first round of a tournament organised by the School Sports Partnership at Teignmouth before half term. They won all of their games and are currently sitting in first position in their group. The second round takes places next week so good luck to them.
Year 5/6 Girls Football Team The girls played their first match of the year against Blackpool School in the knockout cup competition. They played brilliantly as a team and won the match 7-0 .
Year 3/4 Football Team This week, the boys played a friendly match at home against Bradley Barton Primary School. It was an exciting, end to end match and both teams played incredibly well. At the final whistle, the score was 2-2.
