Y5/6 Netball Tournament Report

On Monday 20th March 2023, Y5/6 netball club participated in a friendly tournament. The schools involved were Forest of Galtres, Osbaldwick and Dunnington (Dunnington had two teams, A and B). They all played very well and put a lot of effort into it. All children involved showed excellent teamwork and resilience throughout the matches.

A special thank you to all the parents who came to watch- your support is very much appreciated. Also thank you to Mrs Rowntree and Miss Dickenson who organised the event.Report written by Patrycja, Maia and Tess (Year 6)

Y2 Football News

Some Year 2 children braved the very cold temperatures to play in a mini football festival on Wednesday afternoon. It was organised by the York Sports Network with York City Community Foundation and Huntington School Y10 pupils providing the referees and support. We had two mixed teams in this brilliant (if not slightly chilly!) event. Both teams demonstrated how well they can play as a team and support each other with some great sportsmanship on show from our own players and the opposing teams. A shout out to S and A for receiving fair play medals for showing extra resilience and effort for their respective teams.

Dunnington 2 won two and drew two of their seven games whilst Dunnington 1 won five of their matches, lost one and drew one, which was a formidable achievement. Mrs Perks and I were extremely proud of the children and you can see in the photo that they all had a fabulous time! Thank you to all the parents who provided lifts and watched in the bitterly cold weather!Mrs Rowntree

Football Match Reports!

Our Y5/6 football teams were in action again this week and played against Osbaldwick Primary School on Tuesday. The players enjoyed a pre-match motivational chat with Mr Sellers at lunchtime and they left ready for action! We had two matches and the first was a very competitively fought event. Charlie in Year 6 providing the team with a brilliant performance in his first appearance for the school this year. Many chances and lots of superb teamwork made for a great watch. We missed having a couple in the team through injury but the players worked very hard and showed true resilience. They also thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to play against another school. We did unfortunately come away with a 2-1 defeat but Mr  Sellers was very proud of their commitment. The second match was also a very close game and full of goals which is always exciting to watch! The team stuck together and battled to a 4 all draw.

A superb evening of football and thank you to all the parents who provided lifts and support for the children.
