Tonight we played in the semi-final of the George Wilson cup against a fantastic Shotton Hall side.
All of our boys played so well and saw us through to the final next week with a 4-3 win.
A big well done to Harry, who scored a hat-trick and deservedly picked up Man of the Match.
Archie got us our 4th goal with a cracking penalty shot!
What an amazing first game back!

Well done boys, keep it up!
Class 4 had a great time this afternoon practising skills for the skipping festival.
Year 5 and 6 represented our school at the Athletics festival. They took part in a variety of field and track events, working as a team and individually.
Class 4 had a great time at the Beacon of Light today. We took part in dance warm up activities and learned two new dances to Christmas music. It was great fun and energising.
