Boys' 6-a-side football tournament

On Thursday 19th May we played in a Boys' 6-a-side football tournament. In the group stages we won four games and drew 4 without conceding a goal! The semi-final was a close match (0-0) and it went to penalties. Unfortunately, St. Monica beat us 3-2 and we finished fourth overall.

Springhill Spitfires

Our school U11 mixed cricket team, 'Springhill Spitfires' played our second game of the U11 Mixed Cricket League against 'Bitterne Blazers' on Tuesday 3rd May. Before the game, some university students filmed us for their course. Then we practised with Sam before playing the game, which we won. Certificates were given to their best players and ours (Harry and Lily).

This term, we were asked to write an ‘outsider’ themed piece of writing. I chose to write a blog from Rosa Park’s perspective (a couple of weeks before she died) because to me, Rosa Parks had changed the way we now think about cruelty and racism. What she did, started the Civil Rights Movement. She was such an ambitious woman and an inspiration to the whole world. She believed she could...and she did, galvanizing a change in our society with her act of defiance. In my opinion, more people should be like Rosa Parks. I am extremely proud of this piece of writing and I hope you enjoy reading my piece of work, as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Dance competition winner

On Sunday 15th, I took part in a very successful dance competition with my dance school. In solos, we had a choice of going for a street/hip-hop or a slow/contemporary solo. I went for the slow solo because we rarely have them at competitions. I came 1st in my advanced under 12 category – receiving a trophy and a sash! When solos where done, it was time to perform our team entry (which was called Generation). We were in the advanced over 14 category and came 2nd, winning a medal. Towards the end of the competition it was the turn of the pairs (my pair is called Annmarie). My pair is slightly older than me, consequently, we danced as advanced under 14s and were placed 1st, also receiving a trophy!

A winner's smile

I was extremely proud of myself and came home with the biggest smile on my face.
