On Thursday and Friday last week, the children took part in our bi-annular Basketball Tournament. The weather for once was good in November and we even saw the sun at times! It was undoubtedly one of the best tournaments we have hosted at Ashfield. Both Mr Jones and I were delighted to witness the high standard of teamwork from each team; the children applied the skills they have been learning in PE successfully. For each Year Group, most finalists came down to either points difference or last-minute baskets. In Year 4, the final itself was settled by a sudden death winner! That game was incredibly close.
In all Year Groups the children demonstrated wonderful sportsmanship and upheld the Ashfield School values of Resilience, Respect, Kindness and Cooperation. It remains hard for teachers and Mr Jones to select the Fair Play Winners and School Value Winners at the end. A list of winners can be found below. We could award far more mmcertificates than we do.
A huge thank you to Mr Jones and the Elms Coaches for running the event and a massive congratulations to all the children who took part and made the Basketball Tournament so fantastic. I am looking forward to our Hockey Tournament in the Spring Term.
Mr Hardy.
