Year 5/6 girls football tournament!

On Thursday 15th March the Year 5 and 6 girls attended a tournament at the Grange alongside Christchurch Juniors, Mudeford Juniors and St Joseph’s. 

 

It was a fantastic afternoon and the girls showed a lot of skill and determination.  The first match against Christchurch Juniors was very close throughout until the very last minute when they scored a very good goal. 

Our goalkeeper was fantastic in every game making some tremendous saves!

The girls played really well as a team, giving each other lots of encouragement and support.  St Joseph’s won the tournament and took away a brand new trophy.  Well done Somerford you should be very proud of yourselves!

Facing Our Fears

The final day saw us all having to take a leap of faith and face our fears on the 40ft Abseiling Wall.  As we approached the wall, some of us started to get a few butterflies in our tummies and as we turned the corner and saw the huge wooden structure looming tall above our heads, many children were heard muttering the fateful words, “OMG!”  It really did look a threatening and challenging beast!  Some decided this was not the time to face their fears; some got harnessed up but didn’t make it to the ladder; some made it up the ladder but had to be rescued back down by Mr Pearson but the brave and adventurous succeeded in their bucket loads.  A few wobbly legs were seen shaking at the top as the children had to back themselves off the top of the tower and some children began their descent by trying to head butt their way through the wall!!!  There were a few ‘dangling spider’ techniques in action and some who fancied their chances as a future James Bond, jumping their way down the tower.  However, the overall abseiler extraordinaire was Aaron who managed to get from top to bottom in less than 5 seconds with a ‘free fall drop’ manoeuvre!!  Have a look at our heroic abseilers in the pictures below.
