Year 5 Football Team Trials

Trials for next year's football team (2010-2011) will be undertaken soon!

Trials will follow the same procedure as last year.

There will be a short meeting for any Year 5's (boys or girls) who would be interested in attending the trials. This will take place at an assembly time/playtime - date to be confirmed soon. At this meeting, those interested will fill in a questionnaire.

Following this, me and Mr. Ashwell will take a look at all the questionnaires and if you are successful you will be invited to 2 trials.

Teamwork trial - This will show us how well you can work together in a group. We will also be looking for leadership qualities. You will be given a variety of tasks to do in groups and we will see how you get on.

Skills trial - A chance to show us your footballing skills. We will be looking a dribbling, shooting, passing, goalkeeping, heading skills as well as your teamwork and speed and movement skills.

So get training and you will be notified of the initial meeting the first week back after half term!

Mr. Merchant and Mr Ashwell

The Big Election!! ( JT )

This week, has kind been a weird week because there has been the election, so we missed school. The election is when we vote to for a new goverment, even though they voted only 4 years ago, not everyone is happy with Gordon Brown. The political parties are Labour, Libral Democrats and Conservatives, but these are just the main ones. Here are some bloggers and teachers, why they think adults vote!!
