On Monday, Class Antarctica and Class Africa went on their school trip to Hedingham Castle.
The children had a tour of the castle, dressed up as knights, visited the castle dungeon and looked at the castle grounds.
The children were beautifully behaved and had lots of fun!
Well done to our Year 5/6 Netball team who competed in a tournament this week at Great Baddow High School.
The team had an enjoyable afternoon, they played determinedly and with great team spirit, winning 2 of their 6 matches, finishing 5th overall. Each match was 4 minutes each way and they had to change position, in the pre-set rotation pattern, at the end of each half and conclusion of each match. So lots of time on court for everyone and some good netball was played.
The results were as follows:
| v New Hall A (the winners) | L 0 - 7 |
| v St Michaels | W 2 - 0 |
| v Moulsham | L 2 -1 |
| v Our Lady Immaculate A | L 0 - 6 |
| v Perryfields | W 1 -0 |
| v Tyrrells | L 2 - 1 |
They gave a good account of themselves and as you can see had some close games.
