On Monday, some lucky year 6 children got to try their hands at Goalball, and a few even made their School Games debut in the process.

Goalball, invented to aid rehabilitation of blind soldiers post WW2, requires players to abandon their sense of sight and rely on their hearing instead. The aim of the game is to stop the ball, which contains two bells, from going in the goal. Teams take alternate turns attacking and defending until the 6 minute game is over.

Our children had a brilliant time and really enjoyed themselves! Well done to everyone taking part.

On Tuesday, our boys took part in the Premier League Kids Cup. A national competition which puts the Premier League football clubs against each other through primary school football teams. Tuesday was the first round in deciding which lucky school would represent Hull City at this year’s national finals, held at Chelsea’s ground, Stamford Bridge. Our boys did fantastic! They won all of their group games comfortably, finished top of their group and automatically progressed to the regional finals. However, there were still games to be played and a winner for the evening was to be decided – CP had to play Elloughton in the semi-final.

This last game was very hard for our boys. Three games on a large pitch on a cold January night had really taken it’s toll on our boys. Despite a great effort up front from the M boys, and some heroic defence from Yeaman and Millett – the boys sadly lost 3-0.

However, this didn’t dishearten our player- they still progress to the next round and have a chance of getting through to the national finals! Time for some hard training in preparation for Feb 7th!

Well done boys and thank you parents for your support!

Children had a special visitor in assembly today – Rory the Tiger! He was here with Marc Daddy from Tigers Trust to talk about an exciting fundraiser in February. Children will have the chance to try and score penalties against Rory, Marc and Mr. Morgan!! In the process, they will raise money for PE resources and experiences in the future. A full report will follow, but needless to say we are all very excited about this event!

Tonight was the last night of Rugby club. Children have battled through all weathers to improve their skills and have fun. The progress has been fantastic and we have some real stars in the making. Some children even brought their Santa hats for the final game – half of which was played in the dark! Well done children.

Our Y5 boys narrowly missed out on qualification for the HSFA 5-aside finals in a final thriller against Bellfield Primary. After both teams had a successful league, a deciding match was held. The boys worked hard after going 2-0 and clawed back a few goals – but eventually the clock ran out and Bellfield were victorious. This newly formed team worked very well together and never gave up.

A special mention to Matthew Southwick who made a return to his roots as goalkeeper, doing a fantastic job throughout the competition – well done!
