On Thursday, Charlotte C, Liam G, Scarlett R, Ethan K, Zofia, Thomas P, Paisley and Mathew MD, from Year 5, went to the Padel Social House and took part in a new sport for our school, Padel. We participated in a number of skill stations and then played a couple of mini games against each other. The children enjoyed the afternoon and hopefully will try it again.
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 took part in the Rhino Rugby competition held at at St. Luke’s Primary School. We played a round robin of fixtures followed by a final. This was ideal for us, although in the round robin of fixtures we showed excellent individual skills, but our team play was very inconsistent.
We won 3 matches, drew 2 and lost 2. This resulted us finishing in second place and qualifying for the final against the only unbeaten team, Hunsbury Park. In the final, we played an excellent game, both individually and as a team winning the final 4-1. Well done to Ryley, Roman, Eesa, Amarius, Jaisaiah, Zaviyar, Suwaiba, Euan B and Cohen.
