Cricket

The past two days have been a Kwik Cricket-fest!
On Tuesday, two boys teams had an all day festival at Fleetville School. Both teams performed brilliantly, the B team especially as they had a particularly difficult group.

On Wednesday, it was the mixed team’s turn as they participated in the St Albans Schools’ tournament. They got through to the final for the first time, having won all three group games. Unfortunately, the final was a step too far but the team can be very proud of itself.

Kwik Cricket

A great way to end a busy week, was playing cricket in the sun as a year 6 Kwik Cricket team visited Skyswood. A really tight and entertaining game went right to the last ball as a wicket won it for the hosts, 83 runs to 82. This was a different experience for Bowmansgreen as the game was played on the playground, which meant that the bowling was straighter and had an even bounce.
Well played everyone and thanks to our hosts, Skyswood.

This afternoon, 3S were learning about the Summer Solstice. In the UK – and the rest of the northern hemisphere – today is the summer solstice which means that it is the longest day of the year. I wonder what else 3S can remember about the Summer Solstice?

We are lucky to have such beautiful grounds at Bowmansgreen which pupils make good use of , not just at play times and for PE but also during their eco-days. Today, I joined Mrs Stanley, Theo, Dantae and Freddy in the wildlife area as they released some baby frogs into our pond. They also had a go at pond dipping and learnt to recognise when a baby frog can breathe out of the water.

Tomorrow, some of our Y2 and Y4 pupils will be performing in a concert at the Radlett Centre as part of the Radlett Festival of Music. Pupils have been busy rehearsing with Mrs Street for their performances which include songs from The Greatest Showman, Mary Poppins and Joseph. Good luck children and have lots of fun. I know you will be amazing!

World Games Day

Some Bowmansgreen children were lucky enough to attend World Games Day for the St Albans and Harpenden Sports Partnerships, hosted by Oakland’s College.
A mixture of Year 4 athletes and Year 6 Sports Ambassadors had to negotiate several sports during the day, take part in a quiz and enjoy a performance by a dance crew that had been on TV’s ‘The Greatest Dancer.’
First up, was the athletics which was followed up with Tri-golf, kids’ fitness, dance, football, Tag rugby, rounders and cycling.
All in all it was a fun-filled day and the children had a great time. Well done to all of them!

Tommy, Laila, Luke, Imogen, Lyra, Aylin, Lennon and Brendan.

The KS2 sponsored Daily Mile took place this morning. Pupils and staff ran or walked the route to raise money for Herts Vision Loss. It was lovely to see some of our parents join their children for this activity.

Next Monday, it’s the turn of KS1 and EYFS!

Thank you to everyone who visited or helped at the Bowmansgreen Summer Fair on Saturday. It was a great day out and well supported by the school community. We were really lucky with the weather which helped to make the day such a great family day out. Fantastic dancing by Excel Performing Arts and super singing by the school choir and Y2 and Y4 singers  – what a talented school community we are!
A special thank you to Nicola and the FOBS committee for organising this event.

Next up…. The Bowman Music Festival on Saturday 13th July. For more information and tickets, click here.
