Intra Schools Athletics
Pupils in Years 3, 4 and 5 took part in an Athletics event organised by the London PE and School Sports Network. They took part in a mix of Track and Field events recording their own scores as they went. The results have been collected, and will be placed against other local schools who also took part. We will share the results once they have been published; however it was great to see the children encouraging and supporting each other to do their best. It was also fantastic to see an ex-BPPS pupil, Sam, working as a sports coach for the PE network.
Tag Rugby
A team of Year 6 pupils was recently crowned champions of Tag Rugby in Southwark – an amazing feat considering we have only just begun to learn the game! We will now be representing Southwark at the London Youth games in June.
Cricket
We have also taken part in two cricket competitions recently. Unfortunately, rain stopped play for the girls’ team, which was a shame as we had won our opening two fixtures! The boys came up against very tough opposition from Dulwich Wood, Redriff and St Joseph’s. Despite the results not going our way, the boys gained valuable experience about the sport and the many rules involved. We are awaiting a new date for the completion of the girls’ cricket tournament.
Gymnastics
The Year 5 and 6 gymnastics team finished second in the recent Southwark Schools competition which was hosted here at Brunswick. All of the gymnasts performed brilliantly and managed to remember all of their routines. Congratulations to all of the children who have taken part in a competition recently. We have upcoming inter-school events in Football, Gymnastics and Athletics; details will be shared soon.
