Key Stage 1 Dance Festival

On February 4th, Wiggins Class were visited by Debbie, who helped them learn a dance for their Dance Festival, being held at Merchant's Academy on March 5th. The children were incredibly excited to participate and will be rehearsing their Martial Arts dance over the next few weeks.

Basketball

Fair Furlong's Year 5 and 6 Basketball team performed brilliantly in their first taster session before their tournament begins on the 25th November. 

The team played 5 short games in order to practise their skills in passing, dribbling and shooting, and also to learn the rules of the game.

All of the games were fast-paced and competitive but our team did a fantastic job of showing great teamwork, positive spirit and sportsmanship. 

The referees were not scoring these games but the team certainly were! We won 2 games, drew 1 and lost 2.

A huge well done to Cherise, Harry, Kacey, Riley, Hollie, Jay, Harrison, Anna and Daley - our Year 5 and 6 team - who not only performed extraordinarily well but are also showing their commitment to the tournament by attending training twice a week at lunch time!
