Event/Activity: Rugby

On the 9 December, Hugh Sexey year 6 team played Fairlands. They came down to us at home. In the first half we were stronger, faster and had good handling skills. We scored many tries in the first half and were tackling very well. We were not moving the ball enough and that is something we talked about in half time. In the second half they conceded many more tries but at kick off we had too many knock ons. It was a great all round result and I think the boys did really well.

Event/Activity: Music Competition

The Mendip Rotary Club young musician ‘Cheddars Got Talent’ competition was launched in September by Maggie Steele who visited school.

Many of our pupils across the year groups were soon very busy practising for auditions. During the auditions, visiting judge John Maunders and myself were thoroughly entertained and very impressed with the high standard of musicianship from the entries.

On Friday 27 November the final took place at Kings Of Wessex Academy. Our four finalists: Johanna, Amelia, Marishelle and Lucy impressed the panel of judges and audience members with their perfected performances. After 15 minutes of deliberation the judges announced the winner, Marishelle!

For this homework I had to make a mask to say a montage to the whole class. It lights up in two different places. I have come up with a name (Electro) but I would like some ideas from you.

Event/Activity: Yr 3 & 4 Gymnastics Event

There was a great buzz at this event. Each First School had been asked to bring along 10 children to the “Gymnastics Experience”. The idea was to give the younger children a taster of what to expect in both PE lessons and gymnastics club. 20 of the Hugh Sexey gym club were acting as young leaders, mainly from year five and six but two of our year eight leaders also helped. A special mention to Emily Mugford in year eight who has helped in the gym club since year five.

After an introduction by Mr Waterfield, in charge of sports festivals, the children (90) enjoyed a fun warm up – a Hugh Sexey favourite called the “Bean” game. Miss Lacy led a very flexible stretch and the children were then separated into five groups: ropes, floor, balance, trampolining and vaults. Experiencing 10 minutes on each activity, followed by a few brave gymnasts demonstrating their skill, each child enjoyed all their new experience. Parents watched and teachers encouraged. A very rewarding evening and hopefully sparked a new interest in an ever increasing sport.
