Year 6 football vs St. Laurence

On Thursday 4th Feb, Sancton Wood's year 4/5/6 team played away at St. Laurence Primary School.
Having played them last year and lost 12-0, the team was a little apprehensive.

Izzy Charles opened the scoring with a free kick against a five man wall. An impossible shot, but he managed to score. Chris Whitehouse was our other scorer. The boys fought hard for the full match and were rescued on many many occasions by our captain and goalkeeper Cory Bennett. The final score was 2-2. We were very proud. The man of the match was Pierce Atkinson.

Year 6 Netball Tournament

On Tuesday 26th. January 2010 the Year 6 team travelled to Netherhall. We were the reigning champions in this competition so we were paired with the semi finalists from last year. We faced an incredibly tough draw and for a team with a Year 5 in it- and for one that hasn't trained together- we played some excellent Netball. We lost 2-0 to St. Albans and pushed St. Pauls all the way in a 3-2 defeat. Michael Frith was our player of the tournament. Emily Yule played excellently as our sole Year 5. The team was Theo Roberts (capt), Michael Frith, William Dickinson, Mariel Green-Robinson, Hettie Williams and Emily Yull.

Junior School Swimming Gala: Spring Term 2008

Spring term one of the most eagerly anticipated events within the Junior School Swimming gala. Every pupil in attendance swam bravely for their team, either Dragons, Griffins or Phoenix, with the Griffins coming out as overall winners. Edward Rogan, Griffins house captain, wrote the following report:

"The best bit for me in the swimming gala was when I was awarded the trophy from Dr Sturdy and everyone was screaming and clapping with joy. Everybody's sportmanship was very supporting for the younger ones that were nervous because they had never done it before. After every race if you came first, second or third you would go up on a podium and be awarded your medal and when you were up there you really felt happy inside. Even if you didn't get a medal you got an easter egg. This year some people gave some of their medals away to people who didn't get medals and that was a really kind thing to do and they really appreciated that."
