Prep School Prep Sports Round - up
I find every week I mention how busy we have been in Prep School, and yet again I find it hard to fathom how we fit so much in! Friday saw us host the IAPS Regional Qualifier for boys hockey, with 15 teams arriving with their spectators to our astros. It was a magnificent sight to see so many children involved in some great hockey and our own boys did not disappoint! In their
group they finished second only losing to Exeter School who were the eventual winners of the whole tournament. Having qualified for the Cup competition, they were in knockout territory. Sadly, in the quarter finals they played some great hockey but eventually lost on golden goal in extra time to the Downs who finished the tournament as runners up behind Exeter. A fantastic day and thank you to the staff for putting together such a great event for the children and school. Saturday saw us again hosting, this time U10 Netball. The morning was played in great spirit and our girls did really well and played the most consistently I have seen all season! Well done to Blundells who were the eventual winners. The Year 5 boys also had a hockey tournament over at Millfield. Some of them had played the day before, so despite being a little tired, they played well. The boys did well, but possibly did not perform at their best.
The new week has turned out to be a little less hectic with the surprise snow delivery on Wednesday but Monday we had another football encounter. This time a mixed team against North Town Primary. The players had a great game and six goals were scored in total with Luis scoring the best of the day from the halfway line!! It is brilliant to be able to offer opportunities in sports beyond our normal fixture programme. Read the full report here.
Year 2 Year 2 has been reading the story 'Clean Up' in English and learning to write persuasive letters encouraging people to look after the seas and oceans. One of their writing tasks was to write a letter to the Queen's College Community, asking them to stop dropping litter and the impact it has on ocean life.
This letter was written by Albie in Year 2:
Dear Q.C Community Our beaches are a disgrace and it isn't right. Did you know whales eat plastic and it makes them sick? Did you know every time we drop litter a sea creature dies? Did you know that every time a filter feeder goes past, it eats it? Clean up your rubbish, it's now or never. Clean up now! The ocean really needs you to help clean up litter. From Albie The Year 2 children asked for a Queen's College Clean Up Crew club which Mrs. Kelly is going to run in the summer term. This club will work to keep our school shared spaces clean of rubbish.
