Boys' Championship League Football 2023/24

St. Peter's is taking part in the Boys Championship League Football. 

1st November

On 1st November 2023 we played our first match of the season against Bidborough:-

Last week, on Wednesday 1^st November, we played a football match against Bidborough Primary School. After school, our team headed up to Hawkenbury Astroturf, ready to play. After getting onto the pitch, we warmed up for a few minutes before discussing our positions. Once the match started, we knew we were in for a tough game. In the first 30 seconds, they had scored two goals. However hard we tried, we couldn't get a goal of our own. The match ended with a defeat for us but we learned a lot from the game. At least we tried our best! By Jasper and Henryk. 

 

 

We have played a further four matches in our Championship competition:-

 

22nd November 2023 vs St Augustines Primary School - 2-1 (to St. Augustines)

Msporti Football Tournament Final

This was run by MSporti who run the football league we have been playing in and the awards for the overall League were given out.

The boys played brilliantly in all their matches and narrowly missed out on being in the final play off, coming in third. It was a great morning and everyone had a brilliant time. 

 

 

0n Monday 13th November 2023, We took part in the Cross Country event at Skinner's Grammer School. We played at their playing fields. When we got there, we met up with our school. At 4 o'clock, year 3 and 4 girls started. When they had finished the race, year 3 and 4 boys went. Shortly after, year 5 and 6 girls went. They had to run an extra 0.5km. The year 5 and 6 boys started their race,  they also had to do an extra 0.5km. The event finished at 4.45pm. Once all the races were done, the racers went home knowing they achieved something.

Cricket Report by Henry Oldham – Year 5

St Peter’s played on the Nevill Cricket Ground, a famous ground and England has once played there! The weather was ideal and there was not a cloud in the sky.

The people who played were year five and six. As we all walked on the pitch we felt a mix of pride, excitement and nervousness, proud to play for our school, excited to start but nervous at the same time.

We did not win but we did extraordinarily well and even came second in our group! I enjoyed the experience and I keep my hopes up for next time.

On 13th June, St Peter's took part in a second Dynamos Cricket Tournament! This time for Years 3 and 4!

Daniel A, Jason D, Ada G, Artie K, George K, Leonora L-M, Wilson L-C, Jago R, Holly T were our cricketers! They played really well and had a great day! 

On 17th June St Peter's took part in a 'Newcomers Netball' tournament at Skinners Kent Academy. This event was aimed at children who were not a part of a netball team outside of school and had not taken part in regular matches within school. 

 

The St Peter's team consisted of the following:-

Florence S, Marie B, Lois H, Alexia S, Iris W, Toby E, Evie S, Leo H, Eva W

The team played brilliantly! They came third in the tournament out of eleven

schools. Mrs Brickle was hugely proud of all of them - well done team!! 

St Peter's entered The Colour Dash event again! This is an annual event that sees over 300 children take part in a fun cross country run whilst being covered in paint!

This colourful experience involves children in KS1 and KS2 running around the Tonbridge Juddians football and rugby club over various distances. 

The children had a great time and ended up suitably covered in coloured dye! Before and after photos below! Plus more photos here.

On Thursday 27th June St Peter's took part in the Tunbridge Wells Primary Schools' Swimming Gala at St John's swimming pool. The team swam amazingly well - for many of them this was their first time at an event like this and some of them the first time they have ever had a swimming race! There were a lot of nerves but they stepped up bravely and all absolutely loved it. Well done to all of them!
