On Thursday 3^rd October, 12 Year 5 and 6 pupils took part in an orienteering competition at the Tile Barn in Brockenhurst. The afternoon consisted of finding clues, teamwork and being able to read their maps accurately. As you can see from these pictures, these were skills that they all used well. The children were split into groups of 4 and had to complete two tasks: Anagram and finding the clues and hole punching them.

The hard work, effort and determination of these pupils paid off as in the Anagram challenge 2 groups came joint 1^st and the other group came 3^rd. Then in the hole punch challenge 1 group came 3^rd overall. This was a fantastic effort and all the children who were involved should be incredibly proud of their achievements.

It goes to show that hard work, determination and effort really do help to strive for our best.

What an amazing start to our sporting calendar! These 10 Year 3 and 4 boys took part in a Football competition at Ringwood School on Thursday 26^th September. They competed against 5 other teams from the local area and came out on top winning first place! Arriving back at school they were all greeted by proud teachers who applauded their efforts.

Proudly, the boys have been wearing their medals and commenting on how much fun they had. Well done boys your hard work and effort paid off!

This year we have started with an exciting bang by being involved with lots of sporting events. On Wednesday 25^th September,   these children were selected to represent Fordingbridge Junior School in an Inclusive Can Do Festival.
