On your Bike!

This year, rather than the usual cycling profficiency test, we have brought in the help of the Bikability people. Children in Class 3 have been learning all about road safety, looking after their own bikes and generally increasing their confidence and awareness on the roads.

Ipswich Town Football Club Visit

A great day was had by classes 2 and 3 on the 9th June, when we all wnt to ITFC for a tour and to partake in activities.

We were taken round all the unseen areas, including the director's box, the 'dug out', the tunnel that all the players come out of and even the changing rooms, which were very plush!

Sporting events this half term.

On the 28th of March we went to Woodbridge Rugby Union Football Club for a tag rugby tournament. We took on some very tough teams and came out second from bottom, but we tried really hard. After the tournament we felt annoyed we hadn’t won but happy to have play there and to have won one match. Miss Tuckwell took us to the rugby and we had a great turn out from parents. !
On Thursday 22nd March, our net ball team,Ellie, Brittany, Franki, Harriet, Amber and captained by Millie, went to a High 5 Netball Tournament at Thomas Mills. We had to play against 8 schools. We played against Worthem A, Dennington, Worthem B, Occold, Thorndon , Wilby , Stoke Ash and Bedfield. We lost 5 games but we also won 2 games and drew one and came 7th out of 10 schools. Worthem A came 1st, Stoke ash in 2nd place and Wilby in 3rd place.

Cross Country Event at Stonham Aspall. It was a shame not to have had the sunshine of the last few days, but a great time was had by all. Our intrepid reporter, Florence said, “ It was very tiring and hard. At the beginning it was really noisy, everyone was shouting as the race started. But later when you were running on your own, it was really quiet. As I got closer to the end I felt much happier and relieved!” Well done to George Ferguson for coming 14th overall out of the boys!

Mr. Peatfield and Miss Sandal from the High School Sports Partnership came in this Monday and worked with Class 3, helping them to learn games that they can go on to teach younger members of the school, encouraging team work, cooperation and leadership skills.

Welcome to Class One

Charsfield would like to welcome the new children to Class One.

The children have been taking part in a new initiative called 'Gym Trail' which aims to help focus their minds and prepare them for concentrating.

They have been getting better at the tasks each day.

Cross Country

A Huge Well done to George Ferguson, winner of the Year 3/4 cross country finals held at Boundary Farm last week. Charsfield School is very proud of you!

Class 1 Playing Kick Rounders

We have been making the most of the good weather to learn how to play kick rounders as well as normal rounders. Class 1 have learnt lots of new ball and fielding skills.

Swimming Lessons for Class 1

Class 1 have just completed 12 weeks of swimming lessons at the Dolphin Pool. Everyone has improved their swimming skills and most children have gained impressive distance certificates. The lessons have proved so popular that we have already booked the pool for the summer term next year.

Quickstix Hockey at Debenham High School.

On Thursday 24th June, Charsfield submitted a team for the Quicksticks Hockey tournament at Debenham High. Quicksticks hockey is like normal hockey, but on a smaller scale and using a larger and lighter ball. It was great fun and as always the team put in a great effort. We were really pleased to come 4th, though it was really, really close and we had never played this sort of hockey before. Framlingham's Sir Robert Hitcham school came first, so well done to them and well done to all the schools who attended, the tournament was enjoyed by all.

Athletics at Debenham High School

Primary schools from around the area were invitied to a fantastic athletics event, yesterday morning, at Debenham High School. It was a glorious day for it and the children had a really good time. Events ranged from the Vortex Throw, Shot Put to Relay races. We were impressed as always by the team spirit and good sportsmanship shown by all the children.

A huge thank you to all at Debenham for organising this brilliant event!

Rugby Tournament

On Friday 21st May, Class 3 from Charsfield took part in the small school rugby event at Sir Robert Hitcham's Primary Debenham. They did very well and came 2nd overall out of 8 teams. The team worked hard, improving with each game they played. Man Of The Match was Joseph Western.
