19 Jul Sports Report Summer Term 2 2016
This half term started with the most traditional of summer sport – cricket. We entered both the Girls’ and the Boys’ Haringey Kwik Cricket events, but unfortunately did not progress beyond the group stages.
Next, the school teams entered the Haringey Community Football Tournament. Facing extremely stiff competition, both the boys and girls remained in the group stage, but missed out on progressing further due to goal difference.
On the same day, a large contingent of children made their way to New River Sport and Fitness Centre for the Highgate Wood Primary Schools Sports Day. A day of unrelenting triumph, the tennis team achieved all four of the top places, the games team won all their tag rugby and rounders matches, while the athletes came home clanking with medals!
Two weeks later, our successful Gymnastic Squads represented Haringey in the London Youth Games. Our Years Five and Six team achieved 14th place, while the Year Fours came fourth overall, achieving second place in the vault.
The Coleridge Cycling Team competed in their last race of the year at Chestnuts Park. Despite a few brief showers, the children took to their bikes and pedalled their socks off for those last few available points! After the final races, the year-end scores were totalled and announced to much anticipation. Despite missing out on a couple of races this year, for things like the Christmas play, overall we came a very respectable third in the league with a finishing total of 236 points.
A few days later, the Year Fives competed in their Haringey football tournament. Despite losing only one of their six games, and that by an own goal, the boys remained in the group stages, as did the girls, where once again goal difference was the decisive factor.
Within the school, Year Five received specialist tag rugby training from London Skolars, while intensive support was given to those in Year Three who needed a boost with their swimming. A successful Sports Day saw the children running, jumping and throwing, achieving success for both their colour strand and themselves.
