In November we went to Mountbatten and entered a gymnastics competition.  We took 12 year 3 and 4 children and 12 year 5 and 6 children.  The children had previously had an intra festival at NBJS to compete against each other doing a floor routine and a vault.

At the festival they had the chance to go on the trampolines and use the mini trampette as well as performing their vault twice and performing their floor routine (which needed to include a roll, balance and jump).

Our year 3/4 team came 3rd overall and our year 5/6 team did very well too.  I was very impressed watching them, showing off their flexibility and gymnastics skills in fantastic fashion.

We entered a team in the girls football competition at Mountbatten.  The girls played exceptionally well to finish in 5th place, having made a great start winning their first 3 games.  We lost just 2 games and drew the other 3.  It was an excellent team effort with some great saves from the goalkeeper, brilliant tackling from defenders, lots of running, dribbling and passing from the midfielders and some fantastic shots from our strikers.  An amazing team spirit was shown by all.

The team consisted of: Scarlet, Izzy, Luci, Jess, Stephanie, Adelaide, Charlotte, Katy and Rhiannon.

Year 4 hosted a fantastic Roman Market, selling a wide range of hand-made Roman style goods. The children had the opportunity to spend Denarii and the hall was filled with the sounds of bartering. The children enjoyed putting their Art and DT into a real life, historical setting.

We created newspaper sculptures of Boudicca. Using the snip and rip technique some children produced some beautiful flowing locks for their sculpture.
