Baschurch Junior Football Club
Well done to Dominic who won an award for “being a great sportsman” to all other teams, Rhys for being the “bravest defender” and Liam for being a “good learner” during their matches and training for their football club. It’s great to see that you demonstrate our school values in your hobbies too!
Congratulations to Max Eddon who has won a place in the Shropshire County Swimming Gala on June 26th! He attended a qualifying round on Tuesday and swam in the fastest four for free style, consequently he will be competing in relays and solo competitions on the day. Well done Max!
We were incredibly lucky today as Dundee Football Club goal keeper, Callum Ferrie, visited us and spoke to children about his career in football so far. Callum, 19, used to attend St John’s as a child and began his football career on our pitches and as a part of Ruyton School Football team!
He spoke to the children about the challenges and setbacks he has faced, plus the work ethic of footballers and the values that he has had to show to achieve what he has done today. Callum was an inspiration – the children were amazed that he had been told he wasn’t good enough by two big clubs but still persevered to achieve his dream. Also, they were fascinated to hear that he has studied sports psychology whilst working towards his next goals in his career. Thank you so much Callum; we will be cheering you on all the way!
Charlie P: “He taught me not to give up, even when people told him he wasn’t good enough he kept trying.”
Harvey: “If someone tells you you can’t do something, try and try again.”
Jamie: “no matter if you go through lots of stages and people say no, if you really want something you can word hard to get it.”
A huge thank you to our Friends this morning who organised a fantastic sponsored Breakfast Fun Run in Pyjamas to raise money for sports equipment. Many families joined us for a sausage bap, whilst all the children enjoyed a well-earned yoghurt after their run, kindly donated by Carol Aspinall on behalf of Muller yoghurts. What a treat!
We would like to say a big thank you to Carol, Steve, Deejay, Laura, Alison and Liz who made this event happen so successfully – what a great way to end half term. Watch this space to see how much money has been raised…
We’ve had some fantastic projects completed for homework this week. Please enjoy some of the examples below; there were more amazing home-videos which we are hoping to down-size and upload soon, however all the children have enjoyed them in Worship. Well done for such a brilliant effort!
