Wanstead Cricket Tournament

Fairlop entered 4 tournaments at Wanstead Cricket Club  in July. 

We entered a boys team, 2 mixed teams and a girls team and even applied players to Churchfields School when they had insufficient players. 
We did really well in all the competitions and were in a particularly strong position in the final tournament, winning 1 match by over 100 runs until rain stopped play!

Netball

On Tuesday 29^th of April it was the netball tournament. 

The black team and the red team, after school, went to Redbridge sports centre for the tournament. The tournament started at (4pm) and was aiming to finish approximately around six pm (6pm) but as we found out it finished at half past six (6:30). 

Miss Bailey and Miss Bennion were with us to. The black and red team had different teams to play against and we were on different courts.

The red team did well and the Black team were very successful! The black were led to success by winning the league, the previous tournament and the tournament at Redbridge. 

They got through to the semi-finals and got into the finals where they were against Bancroft’s. The team got two trophies and two medals each. Unfortunately this was black team’s last tournament in year six. It was a proud and a sad moment at the same time. The red team also played matches but sadly didn't win any although they did draw with some teams. 

At the end of the day everyone enjoyed themselves and had a lot of fun.

Girls Football!!

On Friday, 9^th of May, year 3, 4 and 5 girls had the chance to go and play football. This was an exciting time for the girls as there had never been a chance for girl’s football in school before. We were led by Mrs Ironside, who had organised this fantastic football event. We walked down to Barkingside in a hurry as we had left quite late! We made it in time but still had to rush our lunch! After we had our lunch, we were split into groups. The groups were based by what year we were in. Luckily we had our friends so it wasn't so bad! We set off to our places and we learnt some skills and drills that we had never learned before. Finally by the end of the day we played some 3 minute matches with our groups. We switched and played other teams, switch and play other teams. It was great fun! We had a great day and enjoyed every bit of it although it was a long walk back!
