Autumn Term

Elsenham's football team have put on a fantastic display in their matches so far this year. The team's amazing attitudes and superb sportsmanship have shone throughout their games; this coupled with incredible energy and flawless teamwork have led to a strong start to the season.

On Wednesday 2nd October, Elsenham sent three Key Stage 2 children to take part in the Boccia and Kurling Inclusion event at Lord Butler Leisure Centre. Our children made it to the finals of the Kurling event and narrowly missed out on a Bronze medal. Congratulations to Lexi, Leilani and Sebastian who made a wonderful team. Thanks to Leilani’s mum for her support with this event.

On Wednesday 16th October, children from Year 3,4 and 5 competed in the Chrishall Cross Country Race. All the children completed the race in good times and made all the adults watching proud. A special well done goes to Seb and Mason who came first in their races and Florence who came third.
A big thank you to Mrs Rodliffe, Penelope’s dad, Miles’ mum and Elsie’s dad for your invaluable help on the day.

On Wednesday 13th November, some children from Year 4 competed in a dodgeball competition at Joyce Frankland. The children had a fantastic time showing off their catching, throwing and dodging skills. One team came fifth overall and the other team came second. You made Elsenham School very proud children - well done. A special thanks to Astrid’s dad for his help on the day.

On Friday, some children from Year 4 took part in the dodgeball final competition. The children played so well winning lots of their games and came third in their league and fifth out of 16 overall. A special thanks to Olivia’s mum and Astrid’s dad for their invaluable help on the day. Well done children- we are very proud of you.

Spring Term

On Wednesday morning it was an absolute privilege to take some children from Year 3 and 4 to a tag rugby competition. The progress they made from start to finish was remarkable! They took feedback on board, supported each other and had such determination to succeed … and they did! They are through to the next round after coming second overall; what an achievement.

Huge thanks, as always, to Mrs Drake for coaching the team. It was also super to have the support of Mr Boxall-Hunt and Mrs Loveridge.

Tag Rugby Finals

On Thursday 6th March, 12 children from Year 3 and 4 represented Elsenham at the Tag Rugby Finals at Carver Barracks. They won lots of their matches and played so well. We were entertained with turn overs and tries - it was all very exciting. Thank you to Jackie Drake and Dave Smails for your invaluable help on the day. The parent supporters did a wonderful job too.

This was a lovely way to spend a sunny Thursday morning!
