Year 6 Oscars

What. A. Night.  I think it is safe to say that the Year 6 are going out in style this year.  Thank you so much to the School Association for all of your behind the scenes work to create a night that I am sure they will remember.  Also huge thanks to the staff that came along to watch, applaud, award, photograph and dance.  
There was some fab House of Pain jumping around, DJ Casper would be proud of your Cha Cha Slide and I think Coolio may need a new job after your karaoke!

Such an amazing night - well done all of you…official photos to follow, courtesy of another former pupil, Hollie Merriman!📸

Our Commonwealth Sports Day

Wow - what a fantastic afternoon we had; from the opening Year 6 baton relay (where they arrived at the track for their last sports day to the crowd applauding them) to our aerobic warm up with Miss ‘Motivator’ Reynolds, cycle races, weightlifting and rugby (to name a few).

It was so amazing to see the children come together to take part and cheer each other on.  The Year 6’s were fantastic, helping to guide the younger children and set up the fun races.  The teamwork and sportsmanship was brilliant.

It was a VERY closely fought afternoon with many personal wins - but only one House got to lift the cup; congratulations Dragons!!

Cycling Proficiency

Congratulations to our 12 cyclists who have passed their cycling proficiency tests this week. 

Cricket Tournament

Wow - another fantastic show of teamwork and sport today.

We knew the first game would be tough; playing lots of county cricket players in torrential rain - but we learned from mistakes and took the loss on the chin. From there on, the children were amazing; some excellent catches, batting and bowling.  Their fielding was brilliant as they became more daring with their leaps and slides to stop balls from reaching the boundary and runs being made.  The following three matches were deserved wins.  The final game was unlucky; the kids seemed tired and made a few mistakes - but, once again, they all played well and supported one another.

Third place is an excellent placing; Burford will be lucky to have these cricketers!  Well done 😊

Tri Golf Tournament

Well, what a fab afternoon we had at the partnership tri golf tournament!  It was a new sport for our children but they listened to the sports leaders carefully and approached each activity with their Voyager ‘can do’ attitude.  They were amazing - and were the only school to get the whole 132 points in one of the games!  

All of the children had a great afternoon and were pleased with their third place - and their biscuit reward from the domino challenge!  Some great sportsmanship, determination and teamwork - well done!
