Lower School Yellow Team Colour Day!

Yellow Team had an amazing day for team colour day!  It was filled with lots of creative and exciting crafts and activities.  In Mrs Eaves room we got to make a Christmas table decoration and a salt dough decoration.  With Miss Lumsden we made a mini calender, using a funny picture of ourselves that Miss Croud took to put in the centre.  We also got to make a finger paint Christmas card, our challenge was to create an image using just our fingers.

It was a very fun day and there was lots of paint, glue and glitter!

An Afternoon of Handball

Playing to Win in the Year 6 Handball Tournament!

To finish this term the three year 6 classes took to the handball courts to compete in teams against the other classes and find out which class would finish top of the handball leader board.

The classes were divided into three teams, each playing four matches throughout the afternoon. Every child who took part were extremely determined to earn that first place position. Although the classes were very competitive, all children showed good sportsmanship throughout the tournament; encouraging their team mates and congratulating other teams. It was a shame they couldn't all be winners!

At the end of the afternoon, the scores were added up and the winning teams and scores were announced. 6J2 took first place with 6C1 coming in a close second. While the winning class was 6J with 6C and 6P not far behind, a very close run tournament in the end! We also had a Team of the Tournament who were 6C3 for their excellent team work and our Player of the Tournament went to Sandesh for encouraging and supporting his team mates throughout all matches.

Well done to all the year six children who had impeccable behaviour all afternoon and the year 6 team would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Handball Tournament

This afternoon Year 3 took part in an energetic handball tournament. Each class split into three teams and played against groups from another class within the year group. The level of sportsmanship was outstanding and all children are to be congratulated. Overall the event was highly successful and fun was had by all who participated. 

Newport Junior School Choir Community Performance

On Saturday Newport Junior School Choir were out in the community bringing Christmas cheer to the people of Aldershot. The choir performed a festive selection of Christmas songs at the community event located around the bandstand in Aldershot town. They were surrounded by people merrily purchasing items from the German style market and children slipping and sliding on the skating rink. Their angelic voices warmed the hearts of those partaking in the festive event and their professionalism was commented on by many of the on-lookers. Well done!
