The tennis competition is a minature version of the real game. They play singles on a half court size with a softer, slightly larger ball. 4 children represented Dunnington in the York tournament at Wigginton Tennis Club and they all played brilliantly. So brilliantly in fact, that they won a place in the North Yorkshire finals that will take place on Monday 22nd June.

Year 3/4 Tri Golf
Always a fabulous event and this year it was held at York Golf Club in Strensall. Tri Golf is very popular in primary schools for developing those early golf skills within a school based facility. It uses plastic chippers and putters with plastic balls. The children play all sorts of fun games and aim at large targets.
Our school team performed with great enthusiasm and despite not winning, they had a lot of fun and picked up new skills along the way. Well done!

Netball Festival & Finals
The amount of children getting involved in netball at primary level is on the increase all the time and is now a mixed game until Year 7.
We took 3 teams of Year 6 children to this festival. It was another cold and windy afternoon but this didn’t stop the fantastic standard of netball that took place.
One team from Dunnington won and got through to the York finals. This was held at Joseph Rowntree School in April and again, we competed well and the standard of netball was very high. We came a very impressive 4th!
