The festival began with skill-building sessions where the children practised passing, shooting, and defensive techniques. Coaches provided guidance and encouragement, helping each child improve their abilities and gain confidence on the court.
Throughout the matches, the children demonstrated exceptional teamwork. They made a conscious effort to include all players, ensuring everyone had the opportunity to contribute. This inclusive approach not only strengthened their team dynamics but also created a supportive and positive environment.
The children exhibited outstanding sportsmanship during the festival. They respected their opponents, followed the rules, and handled both victories and defeats gracefully. Their positive attitude and fair play were commendable, reflecting the true spirit of sports.
Listening skills were another highlight of the day. The children attentively followed instructions from their coaches and peers, which significantly improved their performance. Their ability to listen and respond effectively was a key factor in their success during the matches.
Overall, the netball festival at Langrish was a fantastic experience for the Year 3-4 children. They not only honed their netball skills but also learnt valuable lessons in teamwork, sportsmanship, and listening. The event was a testament to their hard work and dedication, and it was wonderful to see them thrive both individually and as a team. If you would like to see the photos, click here.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are thrilled to announce that five of our Year 5 girls—Emmy, Grace, Jasmine, Amelia, and Lidia—are taking part in a remarkable initiative to raise funds for Cancer Research UK. Inspired by a Newsround report on cancer, these determined young girls are eager to contribute to the search for a cure.
To support this noble cause, the girls will be running laps during their playtimes and lunchtimes for 20 days, from 28th April to 23rd May. Their dedication and enthusiasm are truly commendable, and we kindly ask for your support in sponsoring their efforts.
