Year Six

On the last day of the spring half term, the whole school took part in our annual cross country trial. Children ran around the perimeter of the school field three times, equating to around a mile. Year 3 and 4 girls and boys ran first, followed by Year 5 and 6 girls and boys. All children showed excellent determination and resolve to run the trial as quickly as they could. The top four from each race now have the opportunity to represent Saltersgate Junior School at the Doncaster Cross Country Championships at Hill House School on Saturday 11^th March. Congratulations to the sixteen children who made it through!

Doncaster Rovers Player Visit

The children in Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed their PE session with the 3 Doncaster Rovers players on Tuesday, and got to spend time asking some questions. Year 6 had a fabulous time with Tommy Rowe and got to find out about the life of a footballer and asked lots of interesting questions. Huge thank you to Doncaster Rovers Football Club for allowing the players to visit our school and spend time with our children, it was really inspirational and we look forward to more visits for the whole school.

22^nd of March – Year 5 and 6 football tournament

The year 5 and 6 girls competed in a football tournament at Ridgewood. The girls were up against some tricky teams and worked incredibly hard as a team to work the ball around the pitch.

The girls didn’t make it into the top 3, but they did improve as the games went on and showed fantastic sportsmanship and support to each other.

It has been great to see the girls improve each tournament and keep pushing when the game isn’t going their way. Well done!
