Fantastic Fred

All the children took part in the Fantastic Fred Experience this week. It was a preventative and educational mental health resource, delivered in an interactive and memorable way. 

Please click on the link to watch a video with the important messages of FRED. The video is a summary of what the children have learnt and helps to communicate the messages in a fun and engaging way so that the children’s learning can carry on at home too.   www.thefantasticfredexperience.com/for-parents-guardians

Girls y5/y6 Football match, Royal Holloway

Yesterday the girls y5/6 football team played in a tournament at Royal Holloway, Egham. They progressed through the group stage (winning 1, drawing 2 and losing 1).  A tense quarter final ended in a 1-0 win in extra time.

The semi-final against local rivals Grovelands was even tenser and ended with a penalty shoot-out; the girls held their nerve and won 3-1 with goals from Aishling, Zara and Alina.

The girls were ecstatic to have made the final.  In true England style this also ended with penalties.  With great determination and resilience, the girls did their best but were finally defeated 1-3. Congratulations to all who played and thanks to the staff who took them.
