On Tuesday, nearly 200 pupils from primary schools across Preston took part in the first inter schools mini skills event since March 2020. The Inclusion Mini Skills competition was held at the University of Central Lancashire’s Sports Arena between, with 180 children competing in a range of sporting events.

Year 5/6 Football Tournament

The team’s first competitive football came at the annual Preston School’s Tournament at Playfootball.net. With a talented side consisting of Bobby P, Mikolaj S, Byron C, Zach C, Myles J and Kilian J and, team was placed in a competitive group, which included Sherwood, Harris, Broughton, and Blessed Sacrament. After a high scoring but unfortunate 3-2 loss in our first game, we drew 2-2 with Sherwood and 1-1 with Broughton. Despite a convincing 3-2 win in our final game against Harris, we did not make the knockouts but the boys did themselves and the school proud with their display. An excellent outing for the team and a very positive start to the season.

Year 5/6 Hockey

KS1 Mini Skills Competition

I was excited to take a very enthusiastic group of children from year 1/2 to the U7 Mini Skills on the 2^nd November at West View leisure centre. It was our first day back after half-term break and I thought the children may have forgotten all the mini skills we had practiced in our PE lessons but I shouldn’t have worried, they were brilliant!!

They had various skills to compete in such as ball throw, relays, passing and target. In the kicking target, we gained 34 out of a maximum 36 points, which was amazing. They attempted every activity giving 100% and their behaviour was excellent at all times. A superb representation of our school. We had lots of fun too!!

My Dream team consisted of Francis A, Elliott R, Amira R, Imogen S, Aaron W and William W.

On Friday, 26^th November 2021 our school took part in the Preston City School Olympics at the UCLAN sports hall.  We represented Grenada and had 18 athletes taking part.  Everyone contributed to a thoroughly enjoyable day and one that made the adults in charge very proud.

The team was well behaved, respectful of other competitors and determined to do their very best in all events.  We didn’t win but had many amazing performances that contributed to our team achieving 9^th place out of 23 schools – a great achievement.

Well done to you all 😊
