• Year 8 Mendip Rounders tournament

  Mendip Rounders tournament 

  St. Dunstans, Glastonbury. 

  June 30th 

   

  The year eight girls have been practising hard on their batting and fielding skills every Thursday. This was a chance to see how they played against other schools. 

  Mrs. Wilkinson who has been working with the girls as coach, drove them in the Wedmore Community bus to the tournament . Many thanks for her positive support. 

  It has been a difficult tournament to organise with weather and end of term commitments so all were pleased it went ahead. 

  Rounders is a fiercely competitive game and the year eights got off to a great start beating Crispin and Oakfield. Great performance from Tilly Hallet,captain, who has been practising her batting at home. It showed as she slammed some fantastic hits. 

  After a long break, the girls played St. Dunstans and Selwood. St. Dunstans played a great fielding game the girls lost and we're all out. The girls also lost to Wells Blue. 

  The final match was against Selwood and this was a close match which our girls went onto win. On rounders difference the girls ended fourth. 

  Sadly, this was the last time I will get to take these girls to a fixture. I would just like to thank the year eight teams. They have been hardworking, fun,dedicated ,reliable and successful. What more could a PE teacher ask for?  Good luck in your future sport.

• Bikeability

  Fri 01 Jul 2016 Mr McGrath
  Well done to all of the year 6 students involved in the Bikeability training. For 2 days the pupils worked with the people from Bikeability, further developing their cycling skills and acquiring essential information regarding road safety. The instructors were most impressed by the ability, behaviour and attitude shown from our students. Thanks also to Mr Lamb and Mrs Martin for their support during the course. I hope the pupils involved continue to enjoy cycling and will put this qualification to good use.

  > Saxons House Captains Jack and Rosie presenting a cheque for £1212 to representatives of the Brent Knoll RSPCA.

  > The Saxon's charity fundraising week was at the end of May. We raised money through a sponsored 'morning mile', which students  throughout the school took part in. We also held a whole school mufti day charging pupils £1 to wear their own clothes rather than school uniform. A sweet tombola helped boost the final amount of money raised.
  > We really enjoyed helping the RSPCA and as a House, we were very proud to support their work to the amount of £1212.
