Well done to the teams who represented our school in the netball tournament held at Leicester High school for Girls. The teams included boys and girls from years five and six. This event is always a highlight of the sporting calendar and Mrs Edwards was very proud of the way our teams played. The teams played against matches against five other teams with some excellent results which led to our teams coming first and joint second in the league format.
A team of boys and girls had a brilliant afternoon representing the school in the Leicester Tigers Tag Rugby Festival held at Market Harborough Rugby Club. Following a six week period of coaching from a Tigers coach the children were selected to play against four other schools.
The children played with great enthusiasm and demonstrated each of the RFU core values of teamwork, discipline, enjoyment, sportsmanship and respect. In each of the matches they supported each other, scoring plenty of trys. The festival finished with a chance to meet Welford the Tiger and plenty of prizes for their achievements.
A big thank you to all of the staff at Leicester Tigers for the coaching sessions and organising a super afternoon of rugby.

It was wonderful to see St Peter’s Church full for our Harvest service with parents, grandparents and toddlers joining the whole school. Reverend Janet led our service with each class performing a song. The Harvest service is always a highlight as it is the first chance our youngest class, the 4+, have to perform to the rest of the school.
They sang ‘Big Red Tractor’ with big smiles on their faces and it was wonderful to see so many proud parents enjoying their big moment. After year five surprised all of the congregation with their performance from each corner of the church, year six sang their own composition entitled ‘Thank you right now’.
The harvest collection this year is a joint project between the school and the members of St Peter’s as we collected items for the Jubilee Food Bank in Market Harborough. The harvest display in church was also complemented by produce from our own school garden.
Pupils from years three, four, five and six enjoyed a brilliant maths experience in the Langton Community Hall during the visit from Subject Revolution. After being selected into their squadrons to fight against the Robotron army, they used their problem solving skills to save our school from invasion.
Working in teams the children undertook challenges in each of the different zones and were then able to crack the code to prevent the invasion. It was great to see the children working in teams to solve the problems and they loved the special effects and video conversations with HQ. We look forward to the children in 4+ and key stage one taking part in their maths day later in the term.
