This week, our Year 6 girls’ football team played their second ever football match against Bidford upon Avon Primary School. They were lucky enough to again be playing on the Astro-turf training pitches at Stratford Football Club.
Well done to all of the girls who played. Our Alveston team (Millie, Bella, Serena, Molly, Georgia, Mia, Hannah, Ashleigh, Elsie, Millie, Chloe and Tabitha) were incredibly resilient and determined playing the match in the rain against a team who have been training a lot longer than we have. They gave it their absolute all, were respectful and listened to all the feedback and advice Coach Tom Sidwell gave to them.
Thank you to all families who came to support the girls and to Tom Sidwell for his coaching. Finally, a special shout out to Max, TJ, Oscar and George from Year 6 who made a special effort to come along, support and cheer on the girls!
On Saturday 9th March, Harley and Dylan from Year 5, took part in the Novice School Fencing Team Championships at King Edward VI School. Both children attend the SwordKids club that runs every week at Alveston Primary - and have had the exciting opportunity to learn the art of sword fighting at school – and enter this event!
Harley and Dylan had the daunting task of representing Alveston Primary School as a dynamic duo. They competed against much larger teams in their team matches and duelled against numerous schools from across Warwickshire. So brave!
The boys did a most valiant job in showcasing their fencing prowess and came a staggering third place (amazing!!!) out of all the schools competing and made it to the winners’ podium. They are both so proud of their medals and we are all very proud of them. Well done!
Please let the school office know each day your child is absent from school by calling 01789 293412, option 1, and leaving a message. You may also email parents3002@welearn365.com. You do not need to contact us daily if your child is sick/vomits. Absences for sickness/vomiting will be recorded 48 hours from the end of the day your child was last sick (i.e. if sick on Sunday, come back on Wednesday; if Tuesday come back on Friday) nor for COVID absences.
Medicines in School
We cannot accept medicines in school without a prescription label and a medical form completed by a parent or carer. Please ask the school office for more information and/or a form via parents3002@welearn365.com.
