ESPE Y3 Y4 GYMNASTICS – COPPULL ST OSWALD’S

Monday 27th January 2020.

On Monday 27th January it was the turn of our Y3/Y4 Gymnasts to represent All Saints’ at a Gymnastics competition at Coppull St. Oswald’s Primary School. There were six local schools taking part.

After a warm up session, we competed in the floor routine, and each of our gymnasts performed their routines in front of the judges. Then our team moved on to the Vault, and performed two vaults.

All the scores for each team were totted up, and the best four of each school were counted towards our overall score. The Bronze and Silver Medals places were announced, building the tension to find out who had won the competition. Everyone was very excited when it was announced that our All Saints’ team had won, and our gymnasts went up to be presented with their gold medals.

Well done to our team for a superb effort.

 Gold Medal Team:

Harvey P. Y3

CSSP Y3 Y4 SPORTS HALL ATHLETICS – HOLY CROSS

Thursday 23rd January 2020.

Last Thursday, 23rd January, All Saints’ took part in a Y3/Y4 Sports Hall Athletics event at Holy Cross High School. A massive team of 18 of our athletes competed in 22 events of ‘track and field’ athletics. There were individual races, obstacle races, relay races and events such as vertical jump, standing long jump, five strides, and throwing events. So everyone was tested to the maximum.

Ethan, Junior, Bobby and Bailey did really well to win the boys Over and Under Relay and Lily-May, Alisha, Amy, Gracie-Lee, Brooke, Ella and Lacey all ran hard to come second in the girls Over and Under Relay and also the 4 x 1 relay.

Mrs Stammers said she was very proud of everyone’s efforts in this competition. Well done All Saint’s.

CSSP FOOTBALL LEAGUE – HOLY CROSS HIGH SCHOOL

Monday 11th November 2019.

We should have played our final matches of the Chorley School Sports Partnership last Thursday, but as Year 5 and Year 6 were at Borwick Hall, the matches were postponed until Monday evening.

We started very strongly against Chorley St. James’ Primary School and we were clearly the strongest team up to half time. Unfortunately, we could not maintain the momentum and St James’ scored two good goals, to win the match.

Our final match was against Coppull Primary – Coppull were a strong side and they scored three goals against us. We didn’t give up and on a very fast break-away Jacob scored with a powerful low shot from distance.

We finished third in the league, which is our highest position for quite a long time – so well done to our team.

Looking forward to the ESPE football league, which should have started here on 16th October, but had to be postponed because of the waterlogged pitches.

The following players all represented our school in the CSSP League, and there are certificates for all of them:

Archie A. Y5 Oliver D. Y5 Tyler M. Y5 Lucas N. Y5

ESPE Y3 Y4 MULTI-SPORTS – SOUTHLANDS

Tuesday 12th November 2019.

On Tuesday afternoon we went down to Southlands for a Multi-sports competition. Six local schools were taking part and each team had to move around the Sports Hall, completing sports work stations for three minutes, before moving onto the next challenge.

Sports such as athletics, football, rugby, handball and netball were represented. Our team worked really hard on each event a scored lots of points. We could not have asked for more from them, but unfortunately we were not in the medal positions.

CSSP FOOTBALL LEAGUE – HOLY CROSS HIGH SCHOOL

Thursday 12th September 2019.

On Thursday afternoon we played our first matches in the Chorley Schools Sports Partnership football league. We have been drawn to play in the Serie A league, with five other local schools. The winners from each of three leagues will play in the finals, later in the year.

Our first match was against Anderton Primary. We went 1 – 0 up after Tyler scored and in the second half he scored another to give us a 2 – 0 victory. We had a couple of other near misses, including a good header by Archie, which hit the bar.

With no break, we then had to play our second match, which was against Brinscall. We were the dominant side but at half time the score was still 0 – 0. In the second half, Jack got into their penalty box and was brought down by the keeper. A penalty was awarded, which Jack blasted home, giving their goalkeeper no chance. Tyler added another goal to give us another 2 – 0 victory.

This was an excellent start to the league and it was nice to see the League Table with All Saint’s at the top.

Player of the Match:

This was a really good team effort, with lots of good passing, tackling and fully supporting each other. It was one of our best performances for a long time.

Picking a player of the match is difficult, when everyone did exactly what was needed, so this week there are joint winners:

Tyler for leading the attack and scoring three goals and Archie for his excellent work in mid field, enabling us to control both games.

Y4 Y5 Y6 ORIENTEERING

All Saints’ hosted an Orienteering competition. The aim of the event was for the competitors to find all twenty checkpoints, and get back to the start point in fastest time. We entered three teams of four from Years 4, 5and 6. We also had four Young Leaders helping to run the event.

The standard was very high, with all teams completing the course. It was a very good afternoon for All Saints’, our Y6 team won Gold Medals. Well done everyone, whether racing or running the event as Young Leaders – Talisha, Fabian, Sophea, Veda, Harry, Damien, Matthew, Keane, Riley, Lili-Grayce, Jack, Dylan, Macie, Elizabeth, Leah, Morgan and Hollie.

Friday 15th February 2019

Earlier in the year, the children from Reception Class took part in Balance Bike riding training with the Chorley Schools Sports Partnership. Then, on the last Friday morning of the Spring One half-term, six members of that Class took part in a Balance Bikes competition at Clayton Green Leisure Centre.

All riders had to compete in the heats stages, and after winning his races, Carter qualified to ride in the Grand Final.

This was a really good fun event at which our team members got their first experiences of competition and representing school at Chorley & District schools level. Well done everyone.

Monday 4th February 2019

On Monday afternoon the second of three Gymnastics Competitions took place at Coppull Parish Primary School, and this week it was the turn of our Y1/Y2 Team. There were five teams taking part this week, and the format involved each team member performing a floor routine and a vault.

All our gymnasts did very well, and once again we were hopeful of winning team medals. It was very tense as the medal positions were announced in reverse order, and we were thrilled to learn that we had won Gold Medals for first place. Well done to everyone who took part.

Y3/4 Gymnastics

Y3/4 Gymnastics team went Coppull Parish Primary for a Gymnastics Competition. They had to perform a floor routine and a vault and were scored each for the 10 skills of the floor routine and 6 aspects of the vault. All our gymnasts did very well under the pressure of having to perform alone and having every single part of their routines closely scrutinised. It was fantastic to learn that we had won Silver Medals for second place. Well done to Lily-Mai, Elaina, Lucas, Sophea and Kayden.

Y5/6 Basketball Competiton

Y5/6 went to Southlands to take part in Basketball Competition with ten other teams at Southlands.

Unfortunately we didn’t win any of our matches, but no-one could say that we didn’t try as hard as possible. Well done to Jack B, Ellie, Cori, Lili-Grayce, Tarun, Kacper, Jack N and Macie. From the first match to the last match we battled for the ball and Kacper, Jack N and Lili-Grayce scored baskets.

 

 Y3 Y4 MULTI-SPORTS

SOUTHLANDS

Tuesday 13th November 2018

On Tuesday our Y3 Y4 Multi-sports team went to the Southlands Sports Hall for a competition against other local primary schools. There were five stations around the hall and each team completed all five skills tests, scoring points along the way for team effort in endurance, agility and ball skills.

Unfortunately we came fourth out of four teams, but every team member had tried their hardest. Some of our team were upset not to have won medals in this competition. We have already won many medals this school year, and winning and losing are all part of competitive sport.

CSSP FOOTBALL LEAGUE – HOLY CROSS HIGH SCHOOL

We have been playing in a football tournament on a Thursday afternoon at Holy Cross. On week one, we played Sacred Heart; on week two we played Coppull Primary and St. James’ and on week three we had three matches against Highfield, Euxton C of E and Lancaster Lane. We were narrowly beaten in three of our matches, including one in which the ball went in off the post in the very last seconds of the match.

We were beaten 4-0 by Euxton after requiring a substitution, which caused us to lose our rhythm. Up to that point we had played really well in defending against a very good team. We won one match 1-0 against Highfield. Our squad has been made up of ten players: Tyler, Jack, Damien, Jacob, Ellie, Cori, Kacper, Jack, Dylan & Macie.

Player of the Tournament: It has been very difficult to decide an individual player over six matches, because everyone showed moments of brilliance. However, the award goes jointly to Jack B and Jacob E, who both starred in all our matches.

They were the engine that kept the team going.

 

 

Y3/Y4 Cross Country

Y3/4 went to Duke Street for some Cross-Country races. There were five schools involved and each race was over a distance of about 1000 metres. Race One was for 2 boys and 2 girls from each school. An outstanding performance by our four runners Philip came 2nd, Fabian 3rd, Talisha 6th and Gracie-Lee 16th. Our scores were added up and then compared to the other teams’ scores.

Race Two was an individual race for Y3/Y4 boys. Harry was our first boy home, in 12th place, followed by Lucas in 13th. All of our other boys finished in the top 33 places.

Race Three was an individual race for Y3/Y4 girls, Talisha finished in a fantastic second place, for the silver medal. Finally, all the teams assembled for the results and medals to be presented. With the scores between first and second place being very close, it was very tense – but All Saints’ were announced as Gold Medal Winners.

Well done to everyone that took part – Philip, Gracie-Lee, Talisha, Fabian, Casey, Brogan, Noah,

Daniel, Archie, Lucas, Harry, Alex, Brooke, Cora, Alisha, Elaina, Sophea, Veda

Y5/6 Multisports

On Tuesday our Y5/6 Multisports team went to the Southlands Sports Hall for a competition against other local primary schools. Six stations were arranged throughout the hall and each team completed all six skills tests, scoring points along the way for team effort in endurance, agility and ball skills. The competition focuses on the overall performance of the team, rather than what each child does individually. We performed very well across all aspects of the competition – culminating in our team winning Silver Medals for second place. This continues a fantastic start to our sporting year. Well done team- Jack, Jacob, Leah, Cori, Lili-Grayce, Kailah, Kacper, Jack, Dylan, Macie.

 

Cross Country

The Cross County took place on Wednesday afternoon at Southlands High School. Four races took place, each of about one mile in distance. First was the team race for 2 boys and 2 girls from each school. Keane won the race, about 200m ahead of the next runner. Jack B was 4th, Macie T was 5th and Leah was 6th. This was an incredible result and guaranteed us Gold Medals. Race two was an individual race for Y5/Y6 boys. Damien had a brilliant race and was our first boy in 5th Place. All our other Y5/Y6 boys were in the top sixteen places. Race Three was an individual race for Y5/Y6 girls. Jessie gave it full effort to win a Bronze Medal. Kailah was 5th and Cori was 6th. All our other Y5/Y6 girls were in the top 25 places. Finally, it was a mixed individual race for Y3/Y4 children. This was the biggest race of the day. Philip McA stormed it to win a Gold Medal. Isaac and Fabian were not far behind in 6th and 7th places. Talisha won the Silver medal for the girls in the race. Well Done everyone, we are proud of you all.

Jack, Keane, Leah, Macie, Damien, Kacper, Jack, Jacob, Leon, Dylan, Elizabeth, Angel, Ellie, Leah, Alexa, Cori, Lili-Grayce, Jessie, Sarah-Louise, Kailah, Macy, Brogan, Gracie-Lee, Brogan, Brooke, Bailey, Philip, Daniel, Archie, Talisha, Amaya, Fabian, Elaina, Isaac.

Y3 / Y4 ATHLETICS

Over the last few weeks, our Y5/ Y6 team and our Y1 / Y2 team had both won silver medals in Athletics competition at Southlands High School, and on Wednesday afternoon, 11th July 2018, it was the chance for our Y3/4 team to try to equal, or even better, those results. Once again, there were four events:

  • Throwing the Howler
  • Standing Long Jump
  • 50m Sprint
  • 300m run

Every member of the team had to compete in each event. All the distances and times were scored, and then added up to give each school team it’s total.

The overall results were announced in reverse order, so it was with great relief when the other places, including Bronze Medals, were awarded; meaning that we were in the running for either Silver or Gold. You would probably have heard the cheer across Chorley as we realised that we had won Gold Medals.

Mrs Smith said that all teams had scored more than 1600 points each, and there were only 7 points between first and second place. Mrs Smith also said that the difference between Silver and Gold came down to the slower members of our team battling along the track in the 300 meters race, to save vital seconds.

It just goes to show that you should never give up and that keeping the effort going right until the very end can be the difference between winning or being second.

A fantastic effort by our team to round off another year of school sport.

Y5 / Y6 ATHLETICS

On Wednesday afternoon, 13th June 2018, ten members of Y5/6 took part in an athletics competition at Southlands High School. There were four events:

  • Throwing the Howler
  • Standing Long Jump
  • 50m Sprint
  • 600m run

Every member of the team had to compete in each event. All the distances and times were scored, and then added up to give each school team it’s total.

The team performed very well, with everyone giving it their utmost. We were delighted when it was announced that our team had won silver medals. Well done to everyone.

Y6 Orienteering

On Wednesday evening, 21 schools took part in an Orienteering competition. The 1.5 kilometre course, was set within the woods and open grasslands of Astley Park, providing a very challenging competition.

Teams were made up of three pairs of girl/boy competitors, and were set off at 30 second intervals, to navigate their way around the course. Our pairs found most of the checkpoints, and we are currently waiting for an email, telling us our results. Well done to Oliver, Kacey, Jake, Ella, Charlie and Antonia, who even when they got a bit lost in the woods, did not panic, kept calm and found their way back to the finish line.

 

FOOTBALL

On 10th April, our Football team took part in a tournament at Holy Cross. We were drawn against

Highfield, St. Laurences’, Brinscall St. John’s and Chorley St. Mary’s. We drew our first match, then lost next two games and won our final match.

Well done to the team – Jack B, Jacob, Ellie, Cori, Tarun, Kacper, Leon, Jack N, Dylan and Macie.

Player of match was awarded to Jack B.

 

Y4/5 Handball Tournament

On Tuesday afternoon, 1st May 2018, our Y4/Y5 handball team took part in a tournament at Southlands High School. There were four schools present, so we had to play three matches. We tried hard and did show improvement throughout the tournament, but we did not score any goals, and lost all three matches. The strongest part of our game was defending, which we did with real conviction and this is an aspect that we can build on. The player who stood out the most was someone who was our best defender, making fantastic tackles and blocks, often from seemingly impossible positions – that player is Leon. Well done to Jack, Tarun, Ellie, Leon, Cori, Lili-Grayce, Jessie & Macie.

 

Tag Rugby Competiton

On Wednesday afternoon our Tag Rugby team took part in a tournament at Southlands High School.

There were 21 teams, split up into 3 pool groups. We played six matches against local schools.This was a tournament for Y5/Y6 children, but our Y6 class was not available, so our Y4 and Y5 players had to play against much bigger players. Our team played as hard as they could and were very good at defending, ripping lots of tags off. But the age difference could not be overcome, and we did not win any of our matches. During each match, the referee identified a girl and boy player for each match.

Ellie, Dylan and Jack were each awarded the referee’s choice of Player of the Match, during individual matches. Overall, the school award goes to the players who scored our tries and the boys award goes to Dylan, for three tries and Macy for two tries. Well done to the whole team: Ellie, Dane, Jack, Lili-Grayce, Ryan, Dylan, Macie & Jessie

GIRLS’ FOOTBALL

On Thursday afternoon, 13th April, our Girls’ Football team took part in a tournament at Southlands High School. Our first match was against Coppull Parish, both teams settled down and Elizabeth opened our scoring for a half time score of 1 – 0. In the second half Cori scored twice, Macie once and Casey blasted a penalty into the top right-hand corner of the goal, with such force that the net could have broken. This made the match 5 – 0 to All Saints’.

Duke Street then played Coppull Parish and won the match 4 – 0. So, the tournament would be decided by the match, Duke Street against All Saints’.

Both sides played very hard and fought for every ball. A Duke Street player rocketed the ball towards Elizabeth’s face, forcing her to block the ball with her hand and the referee awarded a penalty. Our goalie, Ellie, got to the ball, but it crossed the line – making Duke Street 1 – 0 up at half time.

The second half started and the game ticked away and it began to look as if we would be able to score. Then Cori got the ball at her feet, ran at goal and hit the ball hard and low to equalise.

Full time ended as a 1 – 1 draw, so extra time was played four minutes. It was very tense because basically whoever scored next would probably win. Once again, the ball was put through to Cori, who again ran towards goal and won the tournament for us with a fine goal.

Team:

Ellie Y4

Amelia H Y6

Cori B Y5

Naomi K Y6

Player of the Match:

It is customary to pick a player of the match and in this case that has been very difficult. Every player did exactly what was required of them and each of them did something that was crucial in both matches. Each player thoroughly deserved their gold medal, and in all senses, this was a brilliant team performance and it is only fair that the award should be shared equally among all our players.

 

 

 

Y4/Y5/Y6 Orienteering

On Thursday afternoon, 22nd March, All Saints’ entered three teams into an Orienteering Competition at Southlands High School. We had one team of four children from each of the three classes, Y4/Y5/Y6. Orienteering is a sport that involves thinking whilst running fast over rough ground, map reading and finding hidden markers.

Basically, each team was sub-divided into two teams and those teams were set off in pairs at 30 second intervals, and from a point at which no-one could see where the teams ahead of them were going. Using a map, and by keeping it orientated to North, our children were able to find their way around a course, finding ten markers en-route.

At the end, the individual team times were worked out and the accuracy of their map reading was checked. We were delighted to find out that two of our teams came 4th and 5th out of 13 teams. This is a brilliant result for a very difficult competition that involved a combination of running at speed, thinking, map reading and observation.

Rugby Skills Festival

We have been running an after-school rugby club and on Thursday 15th March, ten club members took part in a Rugby Skills Festival at Southlands High School.

The festival involved completing five skills stations, based around handling, passing and evasion. It was not a competition and the outcome was to enhance rugby skills – which should come in handy for rugby competition in April.

Over the hour of the festival, the cold began to settle in, but our squad still had red faces from all the exercise.

Dodgeball

All Saints’ teams have recently taken part in two Dodgeball competitions, the first at Southlands on

Wednesday 7th March and the second at St Michael’s Academy on Monday 12th March.

The Southlands competition involved six local primary schools and the St Michael’s competition was

much bigger, involving sixteen primary schools. The format for both competitions was the same: each

match was decided by the best of three games. We won some games and we lost some games, but

were not lucky enough to be in the medals for either competition. However, we did have lots of fun, we

tried our hardest, and our Dodgeballs skills got better. Well done to our teams for representing our school.

CLAYTON GREEN LEISURE CENTRE

Tuesday 30th January 2018

On Tuesday afternoon, 30th January, five members of our Gymnastics Club represented school at a competition at Clayton Green Leisure Centre.

They had each learned a floor routine of ten elements and that was followed by a vault. All five pulled out all the stops to give excellent performances, which is not easy when your every move is being scrutinised by serious looking judges.

As usual, the standard in the Sports Hall was very high and of the 19 schools taking place, All Saints’ achieved a commendable 9th place.

School Games Press Release - January 2018

Chorley All Saints’ wins prestigious national school sport accolade

A Chorley school has become one of the first schools in England to win a new national award for making a commitment to develop its students to be the best they can be in competitive school sport.

Chorley All Saints’ was one of only 104 schools in the country to receive the special School Games Platinum Award. The Award is part of the School Games Mark, a government led awards scheme launched in 2012 and administered by national charity the Youth Sport Trust, which had close to 9,000 applicants this year. Its aim is to reward schools for a commitment to the development of competition across schools and into the community.

Participating in this process allows schools to evaluate their PE provision, grading them either bronze, silver or gold, and assists schools in developing an action plan for future progress. The Platinum Award is the new fourth level of the award scheme, introduced earlier this year to celebrate schools who had shown consistently high-levels of enthusiasm and commitment to school sport. Applications are only open to those schools who achieved five successive gold awards.

To achieve the gold award a school must meet a certain set of criteria, which includes engaging a high percentage of young people in both curricular and extracurricular activities, participating in a minimum number of competitions across different sports, and reaching out to target groups including young leaders, volunteers, and those previously identified as the school’s least-active pupils.

Mrs Partington, All Saints’ Headteacher said: “We are incredibly proud of all the children and staff for achieving this prestigious sports award. Everyone has worked extremely hard to ensure our children have good access to competitive sport at all levels and for all abilities. I know we will continue to work hard to meet these high standards and will strive to achieve this again in 2 years. ”

Ali Oliver, Chief Executive of the Youth Sport Trust, said: “We are pleased to introduce the new Platinum Award this year to give these exemplary schools the recognition which they deserve. We are extremely proud of all our award winners for the passion which they have shown towards the School Games and their dedication to providing opportunities for all young people to take part in competitive school sport.

“At a time when young people are becoming less healthy and less active, the School Games provides opportunities for millions across the country to participate in sport and reap the benefits of an active lifestyle both on and off the field. Schools like All Saints’ are really leading the way.”

All Platinum Awards will be valid for two years and successful applicants will not be required to apply again in 2018. The school will have the opportunity to maintain their Platinum Award when next applying in Summer 2019.

Y5 Y6 BASKETBALL

ALBANY ACADEMY

Tuesday 16th January 2018

At the end of the last school year, all children were invited to take part in a survey about School Sport and After School Clubs. Two things became clear – children wanted Basketball and Dance* to be added to our clubs and competitions.

As a result, a Basketball club was held during the Autumn Term and on Wednesday afternoon our Basketball team took part in a competition at Albany High School.

We played four matches against other local schools and we were as strong as any other team. In many respects we showed more determination to win and keep possession of the ball and work as a team. Unfortunately, despite hitting the ring many times, our only goal came through Kacper. We did not win any of our matches, but Mrs Stammers and Mr Crow agreed that this was a fantastic effort by our team, that would rate among our best performances in any sport.

Player of the Match:

This was very difficult as any of our players could be considered for the award, which resulted as an amazing team performance. We have decided to make two awards, one to a girl player and one to a boy player – and those people are:

Y5 Y6 FOOTBALL

Southlands

Thursday 16th November 2017

Two football teams from All Saints’ took part in a football tournament at Southlands High School on Thursday 16th November.

Both our teams were beaten by teams from Coppull Primary and Gillibrands, but then came the match when Y5 and Y6 had to play each other.

From the kick-off, which was refereed by a former pupil Teejay, our teams were evenly matched, but towards the end of the first half, Davis took a corner for the Y6 team. He placed it very near to the goal line and was accidently knocked in by one of the Y5 team (although Davis is still trying to claim the goal).

Shortly afterwards Davis did score a goal of his own and then in the second half Lewis added another.

Our Y5 team should be proud of their performance, because in all their matches they were playing against Y6 teams.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH: This has been a difficult one to decide, but for the Y6 team the winner is Davis. The Y5 team award goes to Kacper, who was in goal and never gave his best right up the final whistle.

 

 

CSSP FOOTBALL LEAGUE – WEEK THREE

HOLY CROSS

Thursday 9th November 2017

 

After the postponements of recent weeks, on Thursday, 9th November, our football team took part in the third round of matches of this year’s league, at Holy Cross High School.

We were only scheduled to play one match, against Chorley St. Mary’s. Class 5 were at Borwick Hall, so our team was made up of players from Year 6 only. Accordingly, most players were playing in different positions, and it took us a while to settle down. Unfortunately, St Mary’s scored four goals whilst we were still settling down.

The half time team talk seemed to work, and in the second half we were a much stronger team, and the equal of St Mary’s. Harvey was Captain for this match and played a good match, linking well at the front with Casey, who showed no fear of tackling to win the ball. A couple of times we broke into quick attacks and perhaps could have scored from these. However, the result remained at 4 – 0.

Team:

Daniel D

Charlie M

Harvey G

Casey P

Elizabeth G

Jake W

Lewis L

Oliver W

 

PLAYER OF THE MATCH: Harvey and Casey were both in contention, but it will not be a surprise that this week’s Player of the Match is Jake. Jake had a magnificent game in goal, and had it not been for his courage and fantastic saves, we would have lost by a much bigger score.

CSSP FOOTBALL LEAGUE – WEEK TWO

HOLY CROSS

Thursday 5th October 2017

 

On Thursday evening, 5th October, our football team took part in the second round of matches of this year’s league, on the astro-turf pitches at Holy Cross High School

Our first match was against St Lawrence’s, it rained very hard and there was a strong cross wind. Despite everyone trying hard, we lost 5 – 0.

Our second match was against Charnock Richard, it stopped raining and we were hoping for better things. Unfortunately, we were completely taken apart and lost 8 – 0. No-one was to blame, and we played as well as we could, but we could not overcome the stronger team.

Team:

Kacper KY5

Davis LY6

Dylan R Y5

Charlie MY6

Daniel D Y6

Jake WY6

Harvey G Y6

Oliver W Y6

Elizabeth GY6

 

 

PLAYER OF THE MATCH: A clear winner this week. Our winner played in mid-field and put in a strong and determined performance throughout both matches. Perhaps Grandma filming him from the side-lines spurred him on to his best performance to date. The winner is Charlie McCall.

On Thursday evening, 5th October, 15 children from All Saints’ took part in the Cross-Country Races in the mud and rain at Southlands High School.

The first race was a team race for 2 boys and 2 girls from each school. Keane finished in an excellent 4th place, closely followed by Emily in 8th place, Lewis in 10th place and Amelia in 12th.

After an anxious wait, our team were delighted to receive the GOLD medal. The smile on Lewis’ face said it all!

Next it was the girls race. Casey had an excellent race, finishing in 2nd place, receiving the silver medal. Macie and Leah put in strong performances to finish 6th and 9th.

The boys race was the final race, where they all put 100% against mostly year 6 boys.

Well done to everyone who took part. It was wet and cold, but everyone put in 100% and your behaviour was excellent.

We are proud of you all.

CSSP FOOTBALL LEAGUE – WEEK ONE

BUCKSHAW VILLAGE

Thursday 21st September 2017

 

Last Thursday evening, our football team took part in the first matches of this year’s league, on the astro-turf pitches at Buckshaw Village.

Our first match was against Eccleston Primary, we found it very difficult to get into the rhythm of the game and were disorganised, consequently we lost this game 5 – 0.

Our second match was against Whittle le Woods, and we were like a completely different team from the first match. Our structure was organised and we played as a team. Whittle were a formidable team, probably better that Eccleston, but at half time the score was still 0 -0. We became stronger in the second half and created opportunities to score, but unfortunately Whittle scored and we were unable to reply.

This was a very good match and we played very well, which should put us in good stead for future matches.

Team:

Kacper K Y5

Davis L Y6

Dylan R Y5

Casey P Y6

Daniel D Y6

Jake W Y6

Lewis L Y6

Oliver W Y6

 

PLAYER OF THE MATCH: During the second match, everyone played well and did what was needed. It is difficult to pick one player from the others: Dylan stopped lots of shots and kept us in the game; Jake and Oliver were rock solid in defence; Daniel and Davis were creative in mid-field and Casey and Lewis pushed hard in attack. The player of the match award this week goes to Oliver Williams.

 

 

Sporting Achievement Y6 Multisports 

On Wednesday 20th September 2017, Y6 went to Southlands to take part in a Multisports competition. There were seven sports including, football; throwing & catching; gymnastics; agility; running & rugby. It was a close result with only a few points separating each team but we were not in the medals. Well done to Tegan, Harvey, Jake, Elizabeth, Amelia, Naomi, Lewis & Madison.

 

Y5 FOOBALL

WESTMORLAND SCHOOL

Wednesday 5th July 2017

On Wednesday afternoon, our Y5 school football team got a break from lessons to play Westmorland School in a friendly match.

The pitch was a fenced and very small astro-turf pitch. We played six a side and the small space meant that both teams had to produce some fast football.

Lewis scored our first goal and Westmorland soon equalised. The sides were very even, with both sides continuing to score. All Saint’s scored further goals from Oliver and two from Davis. The final result was 6-4 to Westmorland School.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH

This was a difficult match, played in very hot conditions and everyone played their part to keep the pressure up, right until the very end. A special mention to Jake W, who played an excellent first match in goal. The award this week goes to Davis, who despite bashing his head in the fencing,
