Kurling event for year 3,4, 5 & 6 at Mark Hall 6th December 2019

Posted 12th December 2019

Our students had an amazing time at the Kurling event, which is a new sport to most students. We brought 3 teams of 4 people to both the morning and afternoon events. In the morning the event was more fun based for year 3 & 4 and in the afternoon the year 5 & 6 was more competitive and one of our year 5 & 6 team's actually made it through to the finals and came 3rd overall out of about 20 teams from all different schools in the area. We are so proud of all our teams and the students are keen to play again in the future. We hope to get some Kurling equipment so we can then start teaching it within lessons at Cooks Spinney School. Thank you to our amazing one to one teachers Miss Randall, Mrs Molloy and Mrs Mapp who helped with the students activity throughout the day.

Table Tennis Festival Friday @ Batts, Old Harlow 27th September 2019 Years 5/6

Posted 14th October 2019

We bought two Year 6 teams to the Table Tennis Festival on Friday 27th September. This was a fantastic opportunity for the children to build on their knowledge about Table Tennis and it was a chance for the children to have fun. At the Table Tennis event there was 4 other Schools, this was only a small event but it was a great afternoon. Both of our teams were a little nervous before competing against the other schools as this was not a familiar sport to them and we had only done some practice for it on our outdoor tables in windy conditions which is not ideal, but when the time came they all done very well and exceeded our expectations. If anyone who has an indoor table tennis they would like to donate to the school we would love to have it at Cooks Spinney School.

Futsal Festival year 5/6 @ Mark Hall School, 20th September 2019

Posted 25th September 2019

Teams from: Church Langley, Tanys Dell (A and B), St Lukes, The Downs (A and B), Purford Green, Cooks Spinney (A and B), St Nicholas, Freshwaters, Longwood, Katherines, Abbotsweld, Holy Cross (A and B) and St Albans came together to play in 4 groups. There was plenty of goal-mouth action in the fast-paced format; the children adapted to the new rules with confidence and certainly benefitted from being able to watch other teams in action. We brought 2 teams to this event and both teams did brilliantly, we were so unfortunate not to go through to the final. We ended up on the same points as Millward so it then went to goals scored and Millward managed to score more goals in the competition in total. Most of the boys managed to get on the score board, Joey was the best scorer for his team. Mason was keeper and pulled off some amazing saves. We also had Lexi in year 5 the only girl on the team who played really well and showed huge potential. Overall everyone put in a solid perform to be proud of. #PROUD. Miss Jordan
