There were 10 children chosen from Year 6 to compete in a tag rugby competition with BPSS. The children were put into a group and competed with four other schools. The children won two of their games and drew two of their games placing them second in their group. The children had an enjoyable afternoon and it was great to see all the children working as a team and helping some of the players who were less experienced in rugby.
KS1 Girls football
There were eight girls chosen from Year 1 and 2 to attend a KS1 Girls football event. The children were put into a group with three other schools. The children drew two of their games and only lost one game. It was great to see the girls having so much fun, especially as the majority of them had never played football before.

Cricket
Our amazing cricket team have been training hard all year with Coach Imran. They have played cricket matches against Manorside, Kerem and Akiva. We are proud to say that they have won each match. The children got through to the cricket finals and were supposed to play against Foulds and Hendon Prep school, but unfortunately the competition could not go ahead due to teacher strikes. The final cannot be arranged as one of the schools finished earlier for the Summer break. We have won a shared trophy which we will keep in our school for one term. We are so proud of how hard they have worked. They always show such positivity and great sportsmanship. We are hoping to plan some friendly cricket games in the Autumn Term.
Football
Wren's mixed football team played two semi-finals during the last half term! In the League Cup, the children put in a great performance but unfortunately came up short against an incredibly strong Osidge team.
Impressively though, our team won the semi-final of the Barnet District Cup, beating an amazing Akiva side but unfortunately the team could not overcome Alma in the final, however we are so proud of them for their positive attitude.
A memorable moment was the children spontaneously coming together into a huddle to re-group after conceding a few goals, showing a fantastic team spirit. 60 schools entered the district cup, so to be runners up was an outstanding achievement!
Our mixed team also qualified for the semi final for the Dick Bailey Cup and finished 3rd in the league! The girls team finished 6th in the League! We are so proud of all of your resilience, determination and achievements this term. Well done.

Years 1 and 2 Mixed football Festival - The children enjoyed their weekly football practice
before taking part in the football festival against other schools. Our Year 1 and 2 team played well against the other schools in our group and won most of their games. The maturity the children displayed when rotating positions was lovely to see, especially when some of the younger children were not as experienced in some positions. It was great to see our children cheering each other on and shaking their opponent's hand at the end of each game.
Years 3 and 4 Girls Football Festival - The girls had a great morning, competing against five other schools in our group and won some of their games. They rotated the formations, so each child had the opportunity to play in different positions.
