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.

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.

First match: 1-0 win against Eastern green 

Second match: 0-0 draw against Courthouse green

Third match: 2-1 win against Whitmore Park

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 

1-1 draw against Willenhall

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

On Tuesday 11^th February, a selection of children from the girl’s football club were chosen to take part in their second match day at the AT7 Centre. Here they competed in a girl’s football competition.

We played four matches, losing two and winning two. These included Broad Heath who we lost against 3-0, Finham who we beat 4-0 and then finally Christ the King, who we won 2-1 against. All the girls played really well and were a credit to our school. We look forward to playing more matches!

On Monday 3rd February, a group of children had the pleasure to take part in a Panathlon. This is a lovely event aimed at children who are not always the most confident at sports and it provides them with the opportunity to have a go in a relaxed, less competitive environment. The children had a fantastic time and were a real credit to Coundon Primary School.

Year 4 were really lucky to have a visit from our local firefighters. They learned all about fire safety and how to keep safe around the home and what to do if there was a fire. Thank you so much for coming to visit. The children had a very informative morning.

On Monday 21st October, Miss Valentine and Mrs Gray took a squad of 8 girls from years 3 and 4 (who play for Mr Boardly’s girls football club) to take part in some 6 side fixtures.

Upon arrival, we went into the sports hall, where we were greeted by the organisers of Coventry School Games and 4 guest speakers. 

Kare Adenegan – GB Paralympian 

Marianne Botterill – Sky Blues in the Community coach and community cohesion manager

Chelsie Giles – Team GB Judo

Amelie Perkins – Team GB Under 19 Water Polo and past School Games Coventry West attendee. 

These athletes were here to discuss their journeys as women in sport and to answer any questions any of the girls had. 

After that, we headed out to the pitches where COACH valentine warmed up the girls with some drills and then we played 3 of the 27 schools that were taking place. Our team have only played together on one occasion prior to the day, despite this, they worked really well as a team!

The scores were as follows:

 1-1 (Coundon v stoke) 

2-0 loss (courthouse green V Coundon)

1-0 win (Coundon V southfields)

Well done girls for representing the school so well. You really upheld all of our school values.
