On Thursday 3rd April, 10 children from Year 2 took part in a gymnastics competition vs other schools in Coventry. They have been working very hard at learning a floor and vault routine over the past few weeks with Mr Bordley in their PE Lessons as well as putting in extra practise with Mr B, Miss Griffiths and Miss Ferris! The children presented these routines in front of a judge at Tribe Cheer and Fitness and all performed amazingly! They were also supportive of others and very well-behaved – real role models for our school! Well done to all children.

They also managed to secure second place, we are so proud of them.

On Friday 4th April, Coundon Primary School had the pleasure of a visit from some musicians from Bablake Senior School. We were treated to several performances of live music from pupils from year 9 to year 13. We listened to a vocal duet as well as performances played on the keyboard, saxophone, trombone, cello and trumpet.

The children discussed the names of the instruments that were used and which of the instrumental families each instrument belonged to. The children listened in awe and really enjoyed each performance.

A huge thank you to Bablake for coming to us to perform and also a huge thank you to Mrs Dalton for organising this treat on a Friday afternoon.

On Friday 4th April, 4 year 6 children came down to year 3 to deliver a special session on ‘Sportsmanship. They played some warm up activities with the children to help them to relax and then they shared some scenarios with the children. The children were also given time to act out the scenarios before discussions took place around the situation.

The children had to think about how each of the characters in the situation would be feeling, including the bystander. They had to give reasons why they may be feeling this way and also think of suggestions of how the children in the scenario could have handled the situation differently.

Our year 6 visitors were great, they shared the session with maturity and listened to everything that the year 3s had to say, guided them when they needed support.

Thank you Saim, Amelia, Lewis and Ruby!

Our final year 3/4 Lionesses matches were played on Tuesday 1^st April at the AT7 Centre. The girls are now playing so well together as a team and have improved with each tournament.

After securing first place in the year 3 gymnastics for Coventry West, our amazing team of gymnasts went to compete in the county finals on Thursday 27th March. They came into school early for one final practice with their committed coaches; Miss Thompson and Mrs Howarth.

The children were very excited to be competing against schools from Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull and put an incredible amount of effort into their floor and vault routines. They may not have placed at county level but we are super proud of them and they are all winners to us.

On Tuesday 4th March, a selection of children from the girl’s football club were chosen to take part in their third match day at the AT7 Centre. Here they competed against 3 other football teams. The girls have been training hard as part of their afterschool club with Mr Bordley, and their favourite coaches; Coach Valentine and Coach Howarth, have been there supporting them every step of the way.

Our scores were as follows:

2-0 win against templars

2-0 loss against Grange farm

All the girls played really well and were, as always, a credit to our school.

A selection of ten budding gymnasts from year 3 attended a gymnastics competition on Tuesday, 25th February at Tribe Cheer and Fitness. These children have been training hard for this competition during their PE lessons and putting in extra practices at lunch times to perfect their routines with Mr Bordley, Miss Thompson and Mrs Howarth.

They represented the school wonderfully, showing all of their school values and we would have been proud of them whatever their scores. Their dedication certainly showed on the day and paid off, as they placed first! They will now represent Coventry Schools in the County Finals!

Well done and fingers crossed for the finals!
