KS1 Gymnastics Festival

Cockburn’s family has held 2 Gymnastic festivals for KS 1 this term.  The first was held at Beeston Primary school on Thursday 13th November for the 3 Beeston based primary schools. 

The second was at Middleton St Mary’s on Tuesday 25th November for the Middleton based primary schools.

The primary schools have been working with a gymnastics coach in their PE lesson this term and these festivals provided an opportunity to show their work to other schools and their parents.

The standard was very high at both competitions, so it was decided it was too difficult to decided a winning school!

Following on from the basketball coach who has been into all for primary schools within the Woodkirk Family, we had a festival at Woodkirk.

For the pupils it was a great experience as they got to play on a full basketball court in the sportshall at Woodkirk. It was a great atmosphere as parents and teachers all watched in the seating area.

Although this festival was a friendly competition, we did run it with points for each game, the winners were East Ardsley who got a total of 18 points and scored over 10 baskets!

All schools did exceptionally well and all really enjoyed the experience!

Hunslet Hawks World Cup Tag Rugby Festival

To celebrate the Rugby World Cup being held in Australia, Hunslet Hawks invited ten schools to take part in their own World Cup. Each school was allocated a country, which the children researched to create displays in schools.

After an afternoon coached by representatives from local Rugby League clubs, which helped them improve their skills and agility in October; the festival was held at JCCS, where the teams and their supporters first paraded round the track with banners, flags and lots of cheering!

Each team then played the others, displaying some exciting and skilful rugby.

The top four teams; Papua New Guinea, Ireland, Scotland and Fiji went through to the semi-finals.

The finalists were Fiji and Ireland (East Ardsley and Newlands) with Ireland winning with three tries to one.

It was a fabulous day of rugby, which both players and spectators really enjoyed, so

thanks to Hunslet Hawks for organising it so well.
