Y 3 /4 Fundamentals Festival at FCC - Wednesday 4th December 2024

Our Trip to FCC

Some Year 3s and some Year 4s went on a coach to FCC to do some sport games with people from different schools. It was very fun. We supported everyone in their sport races to do their best. It doesn’t really matter if you win or not because it’s all about having fun.

There were different sections, we had to go around clockwise in our groups. We played a survival game where you were a person or a shark and we had to jump on people if we heard ‘shark attack’. There became more sharks and less islands so it became more tricky. We played many throwing game sand running games.

There was one game that was an obstacle course. There was a ladder with pretend lasers which you had to not touch. It was very fun. There were also beanbag throwing games where you had to throw a bean bag into three hoops, but it started to get tricky because the hoops were further away. There were different sections, we had to go around clockwise in our groups.

We had a really fun day.

Y5 / 6 Tag Rugby Festival - Wednesday 20th November 2024

On Wednesday 20^th November, some children in Year 5 and 6 went to a Tag Rugby festival at FCC along with a few other schools. We were split into 2 groups (A and B) and we set off to do a warm up. After our warm up, the director called us over to play our first match. Thankfully, we won and then proceed to win our next match! Sadly, our third match didn't have the same success and we lost by quite a big score. Our final match was just for training but we were still happy that we won. Overall, we have a fun time and managed to win most of our matches.
