Football
Many of our children enjoy engaging with our in-school and extra-curricular football sessions and clubs. We are lucky to be supported by the POSH team in delivering many of these. We currently run after school Girls’ Football on a Thursday and Boys’ Football on a Friday. Our Girls’ Team have been taking part in local fixtures led by Miss Henriques and are showing excellent team spirit.
We also offer lunchtime football to:
Monday: Year 5/6
Thursday: Year 3/4
Friday: Year 1/2
To access the lunchtime clubs, pupils just need to bring in a pair of trainers to change into to take part.
Football boots with studs (including moulded studs) should not be worn (in clubs or PE sessions) as not all children are protected by shin pads.

German
You may have seen from our Twitter feed that I was very lucky to spend a week in Berlin last week learning about Teaching German in Primary Schools. This is a funded project run by the Goethe Institute which is aiming to increase the foreign language teaching in primary schools.
As we currently speak over 20 languages in our school, developing foreign language teaching is very important to us. We teach Spanish throughout Key Stage 2 and we benefit from our staff speaking many languages. After Christmas, I will be running an after-school German club for KS2 pupils. I am very much looking forward to this and more details will follow in December. In the meantime, if any children would like to get started on learning a new foreign language (or improving their Spanish) Duolingo is a great free tool. Pupils can sign up here www.duolingo.com
