Change for Life Competition

Some children from our Change for Life club recently attended a festival at Excel Academy. The children took part in many different activities with other schools from the Stoke area including curling, tasks with hula hoops and goal ball.

The children also took part in an opening and closing ceremony just like the Olympics! All the children enjoyed taking part and getting to know the other pupils from different schools as well as the high school sports leaders who helped to coordinate the event.

Cheerleading Competition

A team of year 5 and 6 children took part in a Cheerleading competition at Sneyd Green Primary school. They competed against a variety of schools from around the area. The event was judged on various criteria including balance, coordination, teamwork and smiling! Our team did really, really well and managed to achieve 2^nd place in the competition, half a point off first place. So close!
