Whole school Sporting Influence Cross Country

On Wednesday 20th November 2024 a group of people from each class years 1-6 competed in a cross country competition at Outwood Academy. Although it was cold it was still very enjoyable. The Year 5 girls went first they had to do three laps of the field we came very close to winning, 2 of our girls came in 4th or 5th but all of the girls did really well. It was the turn of the Year 5 and 6 boys next. We also had to do three laps, and againsoem f our pupils came in the top ten. Then we had Year 1 and 2 run they had to do 1 and a half laps of the field, we also had some amazingly good placement. Then it was Year 3 and 4's run they had to do 2 laps of the field we also had another couple of really good placements. Even though it was freezing cold we did amazingly well and had fun. Overall we did really well and hopefully we came first out of many tough schools.

We had won out cluster and qualified for these finals. There were 6 teams playing including us. Our first match was against Rossett Acre we on this match 5 to 0. Olivia did some great shooting. Next match was gaainast Great Ouseburn which we won and scored another 3 points. Lainey was outstanding with her defence. Next was Pannal whch we were most nervous about and this was a tough gaem. The score reflected this as we drew 2-2. We then went on to play Kirk Hammerton and won against them 5 to 3. We played against one of our rivals from a extrenal xlub so we were worried we might get beaten, bur we didn't. Another 3 points scored. The last game was Birstwith all we wanted to do was win to try and get as many points as possible. We beat Birtswith 6-0. The points were collected and it was announced but was extremely close.

Year 6 Girls Netball Finals

Year 6 Netball Tournament 9th October

On Wednesday 9th October the year 6 girls went to Outwood Academy for a netball tournament against 7 other schools. We played 4 matches and had lots of fun. Sadly, it was raining. But as the morning went on it gradually got drier until it was only light spitting. The first game was 5-0 to us. The second was also 5-0. This meant we started to gain confidence and embrace the game even more. The third game was another win! 5-1. This meant we were through to the finals! The score in the final was........... 3-0 to us!!!We won the tournament! We are so proud of ourselves and are looking forward to the final against the winners of the other local areas competitions. We would like to say a big thank you to Miss Riddler for taking us- we had lots of fun!

Utilita kids football Tournament

Nine children went to Harrogate high school to participate in a national football tournament. The team played 7 games in the first round and didn't lose a game or concede a single goal. This put us in the 2nd qualification spot so we were put into the semi-final and played Rossett. Unfortunately we didn't score but it was a nail biting match and had to be decided by penalties. We lost 2-1. The children were disappointed but on reflection could see how well we did to get as far as we did. Well done to team Bishop Monkton.

Y5/6 Netball at Harrogate High School - March

The team of 8 made there way to Harrogate High School to take part in the Netball Tournament. The team were both excited and nervous. Despite their feelings, they powered through and played in pool 3 against 4 other larger schools in Harrogate. In total there were 15 teams that participated and our magnificent 8 came a very credible 2nd after a narrow defeat by Pannal Primary School. Well done to all the team, you made our school very proud of your achievement, Mr Coupland said "The way they all played blew him away".
