This has to be one of my favourite events: the inclusive curling festival taking place at Sheffield Ice. 

This week, our Year 5 basketball team went to the Canon Medical Arena in Sheffield to take part in a citywide competition sponsored by Westfield Health. Twenty schools, all of which have been part of the schools’ basketball initiative focusing on key areas of the PSHE curriculum, such as self-esteem and bullying, participated. We were very grateful to have three professional basketball players in school, coaching our Year 5s, leading classroom sessions, running assemblies, and being fantastic role models for our youngsters.

On a beautiful sunny morning at Graves Park, we had our final race of the season at the Sheffield City Championships, where children’s efforts from the whole season are celebrated, and the final standings are announced.

This weekend's race is the last of the league fixtures before the City Championships later in February.
