Today our year 5/6 boys and girls attended the Hull Active Schools Sports Hall Athletics Finals.
This was a very tough competition with the very best athletes from across the city fighting for a spot at the county finals. A morning on the track went very well for CPPS with our boys and girls both winning their relays, but other schools proved stronger in the field.

Tonight a group of children got to try the fun and interesting game of Goalball. Originally designed and introduces for rehabilitating blinded soldiers post-war, Goalball requires players to use their hearing to sense where the ball is during play (the ball contains a number of small bells that rattle around).
These children had a fantastic time and are eager to share the game with others back at school!

Today was our Hull Schools Cross Country finals. Not only did we have three individual runners today, but had teams in both the boys and girls 5/6 races.
The track was very long and challenging and an early injury saw Harry M pull out after 400m. Alfie M has a fantastic race and is improving every time he heads out. As usually, the twins, Luca and Nico, were battling one another and ran another fantastic race. In the girls race, Tamzin L shone and recored her our best every girls finishing position at a XC final – 19.
Well done children!

On Friday, our Y56 seven-aside football team attended the HSFA finals. This was an immensely difficult competitions. Over 300 schools entered, and on this night the top ten teams were there. This included three teams from Hull: Christopher Pickering, Victoria Dock and Eastfield.
It was a difficult night for our boys. The first half of the first game was closely contested but Kirkella eventually took a 2-0 victory. Our second game against Lyall Marsden was even harder but the boys worked hard and made improvements. Sadly, this match finished 4-0. In the final group game, our boys scored their first goals courtesy of Alfie M and Ewan Millet, and went on to win the game. Unfortunately it was too little, too late; our team didn’t progress to the semi finals.
This was a very hard lesson for our team to learn having found goal scoring easy in previous competition. But with the Y6 and Y5 five-aside competitions looming, more goals are sure to follow. Chin up and well done!
(L-R): Harry M (c), Charlie B, Alfie M, Matthew S, Vinnie H, James C, Nico A & Ewan M.

Plenty of family support: Alfie and his cousin Noah.
