On Friday, 10 of our Year 3 and 4 children attended the first sport event of the new year at Benham Sports Center. The event had a mixture of different Winter Olympic style events which were: Toboggan, Kurling and Ice Hockey and our children completed each event a number of times throughout the morning. All of our children were a real credit to our school and showed great sportsmanship and effort towards learning new games. Our Year 3 children finished in 9th and our Year 4 children finished in 3rd. Well done to: Olivia H, Agamveer, Ethan K, Hollie W and Finley from Year 4 and Anthony, Aliza, Johnathan, Ariah P and Noah from Year 3.
Welcome to Boothville Primary Sports Blog
We believe that it is important for children to take part in a range of both competitive and non-competitive sports and for everyone to be able to achieve their own personal goals. Through competition and challenge we want pupils to be able to celebrate the occasions when they are successful, whilst realising that teamwork and fair play has a key role to play in not only the sporting world but also their own lives.
Children are encouraged to take part in extracurricular sessions, Sports Leader lead games, kids marathon, school house competitions or sports clubs. Before and after school sports clubs run every day and are led by sports coaches, where we encourage and support children to become involved. As well as these opportunities, Boothville take part in competitions and Festivals against other schools in the local area. This allows the children the opportunity to put skills learnt during lessons or at our after-school clubs into practise and also gives them the opportunity to make links with outside clubs in the local area.
We work closely with Northamptnshire Sport , Northampton Saints, M.A.B Academy Gymnastics and Pacesetters to allow our children to develop skills in individual sports and pathways to clubs outside of school.

On Monday we entered into the Rhino Sports, Year 3/4 Tag rugby competition. This was held at Hanslope Primary school on an artificial pitch. For most of our children it was the first time playing competitive tag rugby, and we were very quick learners! Our children have been working in PE lessons and with Saints, but have never played competitively.
There were five teams and we played a round robin of fixtures, twice. In our first game against Hunsbury Park, we were well beaten 3-0, then drew our next game in a really close match. We then won our other games in the first round of fixtures. After a short rest break we replayed against the same teams. All the teachers were really proud how the standard had risen from all the teams, we even beat Hunsbury Park in the reverse fixture 3-0! We finished in 2nd place overall. Well done to all the children who took part, from Year 3 was Roman, Cohan and Jaisaih, from Year 4, Jaxon, Prince, Lorenzo, Suwaiba, Daisy F, Ella G and Zoe.
