Children in Y56 have been working very hard on their badminton skills lately in preparation for the Hull Active Schools timed badminton championships.

In this variation of the game, teams of five players (ranked 1-5) play one-on-one for two minutes until all players have had a turn, meaning games last 10 minutes. After this time, the team with with the highest aggregate score is the winner.

Our children all worked very hard all afternoon and continually improved, had fun and were incredibly supportive of each other. From 16 teams, our C team finished in 12th, our B team had some VERY close games and eventually finished 6th. However, our A team reached the semi-finals but lost to a very good Eastfield team (who went on to win the final). Our A team then went on to win the play off final, meaning they finished a fantastic third and qualify for the finals night on December 8th!

Well done children!

A Team (L-R): Harry N, Harry M, Callum D, Ewan M & Oliver H.

B Team (L-R): Ella L, Sienne L, Maisie M, Tommy J & Reanie H.

C Team (L-R): Ashleigh Clark, Talitha D, Lewis C, Melody T & Emily L.

A, B & C Teams having a fantastic time
