On Wednesday, we took part in the Yr 5/6 NSport Football competition. This Year the competition was held at the Goals Centre. In the group stages we played 3 games and won all 3 games, scoring 12 and only conceding only 2 goals. This put us into the Quarter Finals v Upton Meadows, we won 3-0, then in the semi final we played our best football winning 4-0 against Blackthorn. In the Final, we played a strong St. Luke's team who deservedly won 4-2. The team felt we could have done better and will have chance to prove themselves in the County Finals because two teams qualify, us and St. Luke's. Well done to all our players who showed excellent skills and great team play. Our team was children from Year 6, Jack, Gabriel, Xavier, Spencer, Theo and Joey from Yr 5.
Welcome to Boothville Primary Sports Blog
We believe that it is important for children to take part in a range of both competitive and non-competitive sports and for everyone to be able to achieve their own personal goals. Through competition and challenge we want pupils to be able to celebrate the occasions when they are successful, whilst realising that teamwork and fair play has a key role to play in not only the sporting world but also their own lives.
Children are encouraged to take part in extracurricular sessions, Sports Leader lead games, kids marathon, school house competitions or sports clubs. Before and after school sports clubs run every day and are led by sports coaches, where we encourage and support children to become involved. As well as these opportunities, Boothville take part in competitions and Festivals against other schools in the local area. This allows the children the opportunity to put skills learnt during lessons or at our after-school clubs into practise and also gives them the opportunity to make links with outside clubs in the local area.
We work closely with Northamptnshire Sport , Northampton Saints, M.A.B Academy Gymnastics and Pacesetters to allow our children to develop skills in individual sports and pathways to clubs outside of school.
On Thursday, Charlotte C, Liam G, Scarlett R, Ethan K, Zofia, Thomas P, Paisley and Mathew MD, from Year 5, went to the Padel Social House and took part in a new sport for our school, Padel. We participated in a number of skill stations and then played a couple of mini games against each other. The children enjoyed the afternoon and hopefully will try it again.
