Gym Competition

Well done to all the children who performed so magnificently in the Derby City SSP gymnastic competition on February 1st. Receiving the team gold award as well as individual gold for Tessa and individual bronze for Maisy the girls did a wonderful job!

Year 4 Kurling!

On Tuesday the 31^st of January, 18 of the children from Kingfishers spent the afternoon at the Royal school for the Deaf, taking part in a New-Age Kurling competition.

Kurling is a form of the original curling game, but adapted so that it can be played indoors on any smooth, flat surface, such as a sports hall, rather than on ice.

We split into three groups and competed against schools from the local area in a round robin. Each group showed a respectfully competitive attitude whilst playing the sport and were gracious in both loss and victory!

We had lots of fun throughout the competition and, although we didn’t place, our skills and accuracy had improved and we enjoyed the challenge of playing a new sport.

The Nightingales have had an exciting morning investigating some strange weeds that appeared on the tables over the weekend. There are several theories as to how they got here including some cheeky frogs!
