On Thursday 30th June we took a large group of year 3/4 children to our local area orienteering competition.
The event was held at Macclesfield Athletics track and the children followed a map to certain points around the track as well as going onto the fields of Fallibroome Academy.
The event was extremely technical with the children using electronic dibbers.
They all had a fantastic time, worked well as a team and many of them wanted to have another go!
I am happy to announce that one of our boys teams came third place over all, Finlay P, Charlie H and Kyle L.

Our year 5/6 boys football team played their first match on Tuesday 29th November, against Hazel Grove Primary School. I was very impressed with how they played, with both defenders and attackers playing a strong game. The team played very well together and the score was 2-1 to Hazel Grove. A huge well done to the boys who played and especially to Archie K for scoring the goal. I look forward to watching them progress in the many games to come.
