JOY OF MOVING WINTER GAMES

Club Doncaster Foundation are working in partnership with the EFL Trust to deliver a national initiative called the Joy of Moving Winter Games.

The Joy of Moving Winter Games is of a pack of fun activities designed to suit the current lockdown restrictions. 

The games and activities are designed to inspire active lifestyles in children, aiming to teach them how to enjoy moving through play and to help them develop positive habits for adulthood. All games and activities are appropriate for children in Key Stage 1 and 2.

New Year New Challenges.

It is my first real update this year. Having planned many exciting opportunities for the Autumn Term we have regrettably been unable to deliver many of them due to the restrictions placed on us by Government Guidance.

On a positive note our relationship with Active Fusion has meant that we have used their expertise during outdoor sessions whilst keeping to the guidelines. Pupils and staff alike are really enjoying their input.

We are enrolled to be part of the Rugby League World Cup which is scheduled to take place later this year. Fingers crossed that it is.

Also, competition within classes continues with end of unit tournaments being held. More news on this to follow. 

Personal Sports Challenge 17.12.20

We took part in a personal sports challenge today. It consisted of a sprint, speed bounce, javelin throw, standing jump and shot putt. Each pupils score was recorded and totalled up. This gave us the chance to beat our personal best next term and to find out who recorded to best scores in class this time.

Boys:

1st Frankie 1176.2 pts, 2nd Jude 1175.6 pts, 3rd Gabriel 1053.7 pts

Girls:

1st Ivy 976.8 pts, 2nd Veera 959.9 pts, 3rd Esme 939 pts

14.12.20

The end of our Basketball sessions in Y4 culminated in a 6 team competition. Throughout the games it was pleasing to see the improved dribbling, catching and shooting skills shown by all pupils. Veera and Isla were great at catching, Jack was a great allrounder, Isaac dribbled well and both Frankie and Isaak produced some fantastic shots. The competition was close with the winner coming after taking goal difference into consideration. The winners were Team 1. Isla, Veera, Gabriel, Scarlett Mc, and Frankie. Well done to you all.

Y3 Intra School Tournament

On Friday 23/10/20, Y3 took part in an Intra school football Tournament. This football tournament took place during our last PE session of the half term. This tournament was designed so that the children could use their skills which they have learned in PE in game situations.

In the 1st game, the Green team got off to a flyer beating the Red team 6-1 with everyone in the team scoring. Yellow team also got off to a good start beating the Blue team 1-0. In the 2nd game, the Green team were held to a 2-2 draw against the Yellow team. The Red team held out a 1-0 win against the Blue team. In the 3rd and final game of the group stage, the Green team beat the Blue team 3-0 meaning that the Blue team were unable to reach the final. The Yellow team only needed a draw to claim their spot in the final against the Green team but were beaten by the Red team, which meant the Red team had booked their place in the final!

After an end to end final and some great saves and defending, the Green Team prevailed as the winners of the football tournament, beating the Red team 2-1. Congratulations to the green team. Commiserations to the Red team who put in a great effort in the final and were unlucky to not win.

In the 3rd place game, the Yellow team came up against the Blue team who were looking for their first win but were unfortunate to not get it as the Yellow team won 1-0 through a penalty.

Teams:

Green- Abby (c), Treijon, Isaac T, Sophia B, Aryan, Alice

Red- Archie (c), Jonah, Stephen, Isabella, Meadow

Yellow- Ewan (c), Eva, Lulu, Luca, Flynn, Malachy

Blue- Nell (c), Ezekiel, Abdul, Joseph, Saoirse, Ethan

Player of the Tournament- Malachy

Malachy was awarded Player of the Tournament for his sportsmanship and also for his great teamwork throughout the whole tournament. Well Done and keep it up!

Top Scorer- Abby

Abby was rewarded Top Scorer of the Tournament, scoring 3 goals in 4 games. Well done, a great effort!

Playtime Rewards Year 3

Autumn 1

Throughout this half term, Year 3 have been taking part in an ongoing football competition which has took place during their breaks and dinner times. The children were competing with each other to try and win awards. These awards were; Top scorer, Most Assists and Most Star Players. The Star Player awards were decided after each break by Mr Wells and Mr Dent.

The Top Scorer of Year 3 this year was Abdul, scoring 48 goals! Congratulations! He was closely followed by Treijon, who finished on 44 goals. A great effort! He will be looking to win the Top Scorer next half term I am sure!

The Player with the Most Assists in Year 3 was Harry, Assisting 10 goals! Congratulations! He was followed by Archie, who assisted 6 goals. Well Done!

The Player with the most Star Player Awards was Ezekiel, who was awarded 6 Star Players. Congratulations! He was closely followed by Ethan, who was awarded 4 Star Players for his goalkeeping. Great Work!

At the end of half term, all children involved in the football competition were given the chance to vote for their Player of the Term. After a close vote, Harry prevailed as Player of the Term. Congratulations and Well deserved!

Mr Wells and Mr Dent also voted for who they thought was the best player this half term and after a tough vote, they decided that Abdul was the Teachers Player of the Term for his great goal scoring ability and also for his great sportsmanship throughout the half term. Congratulations!

I am now looking forward to seeing who comes out on top this half term. Best of luck to all!

23.10.20

Year 4 Hockey Competition.

Following weeks of PE and learning different hockey skills we finished with a competition of four teams who played each other twice. As the games progressed the skill level increased as did the game play and positioning of players. The competition was eventually won by the RED team who managed to adjust to the intensity of the competition quickest. They scored the most goals and conceded the fewest. Well done to Frankie, Harry, Nello, Alex, Isaak and Gabriel.

Also, a mention must be given to Annalise for her tenacity in the tackle, Arina's close ball skills, Jenson's array of passing, Isaac B's positioning, Louis's fair play attitude and Jack's dribbles.

Hockey Competition Y4

Our hockey unit in PE came to an end this week. We have had a great run of weather and it held out until the end. After developing our stick skills of passing, moving, shooting, dribbling, attack and defense we embarked on our own competition. We were divided into six teams and played five games each. The standard of play was very good with some stand out performers, Anish, Oscar, Kajus, Dorian, Belle and Tayzer. The competition came down to the last game, with Team 6 winning, so leveled on points with Team 2. However, by goal difference Team 6 were crowned the winners.

Well done Team 6

Kajus, Oscar, Cruz and Dorian.

Sports Council Meeting

5.2.20

In attendance: Y3: Frankie and Isaak, Y4: Dorian and S, Y5: Josh and Arianna, Y6: Alex H and Georgie.

Pupils were welcomed to the meeting.

Explanation of how the Playground Leaders and Referees were going to work. There is a timetable of where and which pupils will be carrying out the tasks in Y5 and Y6 classrooms, on the art room window and in Mr Ward’s window.

PGL are to play alongside pupils, look after the equipment and to then develop small games such as follow the leader and relay games.

Referees are to be as fair as possible and to be issued with red and yellow cards. Any problems with the referees should be reported to Mr Wells or Mr Wynne.

Both PGL and referees must be respected and listened to. If pupils don’t play fairly then they will not be allowed to join in with the activity.

Mr Wynne asked pupils to ask class mates if there were any sports that they would like to try out in Sports week with the aim of bringing people in to give taster sessions or to use the equipment in school. We have table tennis, golf, bowls and curling as well as the usual sports that could be tried. There are already some competitive elements booked in with Active Fusion with the focus on running, throwing and jumping through the Fusion Series.

Next meeting scheduled for after half term.

Meeting closed.

On Friday 24th January the Year 5/6 boys got the opportunity to take in part in a competition at the Keepmoat Stadium. It was a big competition with 44 teams there. The boys played well as a team went throughout to the knockout stages, winning 3 and losing 1 in the league. In the last 16 we played Mount Carmel and put in a great performance, which was commented on by those organising the competition. It was a very close game, but a lovely freekick by Alex made the difference and we won 1-0. Then it was onto the quarter finals, where unfortunately we lost 3-1 against Howden, who will go onto compete in the final at the Keepmoat Stadium on the 8th February. 

Well done to all those who took part!

​​​​​​South Yorkshire U11 Girls Football.

We travelled to Sheffield United Football Academy to play in the S. Yorkshire finals on the 28th January. We played 4 games in our league, drawing 3 and losing 1. Unfortunately we were unable to progress through to the next stages. It was a tough group, with scoring being difficult between the teams. In some of the games it was the case that we could not find a goal despite dominating and creating chances. As they say 'it was just one of those days.' The football we played  was outstanding at times and I could not have asked for any more effort. They were a credit to the school. A big thank you to staff and parents who at very short notice enabled us to participate.

National In2Hockey Schools Championships - South Yorkshire Round

Under 11 Girls: Year 5 – Alena, Arianna, Ava and Ola

Year 6 – Abbie, Georgie, Holly, Leah and Natalie

Following their success in the Doncaster round of the National In2Hockey Schools Championships, nine of our Year 5 and 6 Girls went to Hill House School on a very cold and windy, Friday 24th January 2020, to take part in the South Yorkshire round. Unfortunately, the event had been timetabled such that our girls had to watch three matches before they could get on the pitch, however, this did allow for some tactical observation of the opposing teams!

When our girls finally did make it onto the pitch they were faced against Thornhill Primary school. An early and somewhat lucky goal from Thornhill Primary saw them take an early lead but our girls did not let this put them off and they kept battling on. Most of the play was in our half of the pitch with our girls challenging plenty. However, another goal from Thornhill saw the 14minute match end with a 2 – 0 loss to us.

Due to an empty pitch on the boy’s side, and the overall play running behind schedule, our girls were asked if they could play their second game immediately after the first game had finished. They grabbed a quick drink and were back on the pitch with a fighting attitude on board. This time our girls faced Hill House White Stars. Again our girls battled hard and Hill House White Stars could only manage to score two goals against us. Unfortunately, the ball simply would not go in the back of the goal for us and the game ended with another 2 – 0 victory to Hill House White Stars.

Exhausted and slightly deflated, our girls headed off the pitch to get a well-earned drink and rest, however, due to their current positioning within the table at that point, they were called straight back on to play the third place playoff round. For the third time our girls put on a valiant performance, but tiredness got the better of them and a well-rested opposition side was able to get the better of us. The game ended 3 – 0 to Mount St Mary’s.

The score-lines on the day did not reflect the attitude, ability or play of our girls. They were even praised by Hill House coaching staff for their calmness on the ball and passing skills, looking up for the best past rather than just hitting the ball.

Could I thank Mrs Fisher for the report and to all members  of staff who helped with the organisation and running of the event. It is much appreciated.

Doncaster Girls Y5/6 Football

CHAMPIONS AGAIN 24.10.19

A huge well done to our Y5/6 girls football team who once again proved themselves to be the top girls football team in Doncaster. Having worked hard to top their group with 2 wins and 2 draws they progressed into the semi finals. There, they faced Bentley who had won each of their games. St. Peter's were too strong and ran out comfortable 2-0 winners.

That took us into the final to play Woodlands. Again, we were the dominant team, creating lots of chances but unfortunately we could not find the breakthrough. The game went to extra time, ended 0-0 and then to penalties. After 3 penalties each and 1-1, it went to sudden death. With everyone having taken one it was left to Natalie to score the winner with a cool penalty into the top corner. They now progress to the South Yorkshire Finals.

Thank you to parents for support and to the staff that helped organise and supervise on the day. 

Squad: Natalie, Ola, Nicoll, Arianna, Elena, Holly, Ava and Abbie.

Boccia and Kurling 23.10.19

Inter Boccia and Kurling

Today, we took 30 pupils to Don Valley to participate in a Boccia and Kurling Competition, sports which few of our children have experienced before. Following some demonstrations, they were divided into teams and competed against teams from other schools, 19 teams in total. The games were close and there was not much to choose between them. Our teams unfortunately didn't progress beyond the group stages but can be proud of their efforts. The pupils enjoyed the experience and can be commended for their good behaviour. Well done to you all.

Thank you to Mrs Pennington and Mrs Ward for your help.

Boccia and Kurling 23.10.19

Intra Boccia and Kurling

Our Y3/4 pupils had the opportunity to try their hands at boccia and Kurling in school today. Having seen examples of how to play they were split into teams that competed in a round robin competition. The winners and runners up from each group played off the quarter, semi and finals of each.

The boccia champions were Kajus and Louis.

The Kurling champion was Caiden.

It was also commented that Oscar, Cruz, and Caiden showed great sports personship.

 Thank you to Mr Wells and Mrs Hamilton who helped run the event.

On Thursday 17th October some of the Year 5/6 boys and girls competed in the Doncaster Schools Hockey Tournament and Hill House. They all played fantastic and worked well as a team, not losing 1 game between them. The boys finished 2nd in their group, with 2 draws and 1 win, not conceding a goal. 

The girls finished 1st in their group, winning 4 and drawing 2. They went onto the final and won 2-1 against Green Top, coming back from being 1-0 down to be crowned Doncaster Champions, a fantastic achievement! If there was a golden stick, it would have had to be given to Abbie for scoring all 12 of the goals, well done!

Well done to all who competed and a special thank you to Mrs Hopson for supporting.

Key Stage 2 Intra School Football Competition

Yesterday, we had a KS2 Intra School Football Competition to finish of the half term. The competition consisted of 4 teams; Blue team, Red team, Yellow team and Green team. Each team had 8 representatives from different year groups who battled it out to become Champions!

After a lot of high intensity games it was the Blue team who prevailed as the winners, beating the Yellow team 3-2 in the final. The yellow team can feel hard done by as they could have stole it by being awarded 2 penalties late on which were both saved by Natalie who won it for her team. Below are the final standings: 

• 1st - Blue team
• 2nd - Yellow team
• 3rd - Green team
• 4th - Red team

Y4 Basketball

Following 6 weeks of skills development and improving game play we ended our Basketball unit with a round robin tournament. Following the fixtures the Green Team were the winners. They managed 2 wins and 1 defeat in the 3 games played. Well done to the red team who made the most progress in team play across the games that they played.

Cross Country

Thursday 10th October saw 30 of our year 3, 4, 5 and 6 girls and boys compete against a number of schools from around Doncaster at the Cross Country Races. Joined by a number of parents, we headed over to the Keepmoat Stadium in high spirits and hoping that the rain would stay away!

Heavy rainfall in the previous days made the course even more challenging this year and there were plenty of puddles and muddy patches to negotiate along the way. A little bit of rain wasn’t going to put our St Peters warriors off however and they were keen to get started and show everyone just what they were made of.

First to race were the year 3 and 4 girls. Despite starting right at the back of the competitors, our girls did themselves proud and Isabella managed to overtake most of the competition to come in 4th place, with the rest of the girls following not too far behind.

Our year 3 and 4 boys were next to take up the challenge and once again did a fantastic job of pushing through the competition, despite once again having started from the back of the group.

The weather took a turn for the worst for the year 5 and 6 races and although the rain did hold off, it got very cold and windy out there on the course. First up to race were the girls, who were cheered round the final leg of the course by our year 3 and 4 pupils. Summer valiantly took joint last place in this race, having stopped along the way to help a girl from another school who was struggling. Finally, our year 5 and 6 boys took to the course while the rest of our parents and pupils supported from the side lines. Despite a few knocks and bumps along the way, our boys were soon passing the finish line having once again overtaken many of other competitors.

Once again, the children from St Peters showed great determination, strength of character, talent and support for one another. Their behaviour was second to none and they did a fantastic job of representing both themselves and the school. Well done St Peter’s Cross Country Racers!!

Thank you also to those parents who gave up their time to come and support the children, your help was invaluable.

World Championships

On Friday Years 4 and 6 had the opportunity to go to see the Women's Junior World Championship Road Race which started at the Dome. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to watch riders from as far as Australia race against each other to see who would be crowned as World Champion. Although we had an early start in the morning the children were enthusiastic to watch the riders. We were able to watch them as they signed on. Then we went to the side of the new cycle track to cheer the rider on. The children then enjoyed an ice-skating session and came home with a free goody bag. 

Thanks to all the helpers for coming along!

Y3/4 Football at Doncaster Foundation

Well done to our Y3/4 boys footballers who represented our school at a local competition run by Doncaster Foundation. Having not played competitively as a group before, the boys did really well to win the group that they were in. Having progressed to the quarter final phase they found themselves beaten in a close encounter. Thank you to the staff and parents for their ongoing support and to the boys for their efforts.

Semi-Finalists

On Thursday the Year 5 and 6 boys took part in the Doncaster schools football competition at Goals. There were 32 teams that entered across all of Doncaster! It was the first time the boys played together and it was great to watch them develop and gel as a team as the tournament progressed.

We finished first in the group stages on goal difference with two convincing 5-0 wins. After progressing through to the cup in the knockout stages we played Kirk Sandall in the round of 16 and won 2-0. This took us through to the quarter finals where we played Auckley. After being 2-0 down, the boys played as a team and brought it back to 2-2. It went to penalties and we won 3-2. We then reached the semi-finals where we played a very skilled Norton side and unfortunately lost 4-2. They boys played great and look forward to their next competition. 

Team: Lucas, William, Freddy, Alex, George, Zach, Henry, Josh

Thanks to Mr McNicholas for training them and coming along. Thanks to parents for their support.

South Yorkshire Cricket Finals

The finals began in shaky fashion. In game 1 we bowled lots of no-balls which contributed to a heavy defeat and though things improved in game 2 we also lost, due to 3 careless wickets in the last 2 overs. Game 3 went to the wire, winning by 4 runs, again having lost a couple of late wickets. Game 4 was even closer; this time winning by 2 runs after hitting a four off the last ball!

In our league there was one team who had won all of their games and they went to the final immediately. Two teams, St Peter’s being one, had won two and lost two and we missed out on the third place play off by virtue of scoring fewer runs.

The team worked incredibly hard, improving in each game as they were asked to and were unlucky not to have progressed further. They played with a great spirit and everyone contributed in the games they played in. 

Game 1: Mundella (268) v St Peter’s (237)

Game 2: Tinsley Meadows (225) v St Peter’s (218)

Game 3: Thornhill (250) v St Peter’s (254)

Game 4: Greenfireld (242) v St Peter’s (244)

Catholic Cup- Champions Again!

On Friday, it was the Catholic Cup football tournament at McAuley. It was a fantastic day, which was enjoyed by all! We took a Y5/6 boys and girls team, who were both the stand out teams of the tournament. In the boys league there were 10 teams, the boys won 8 games and lost 1, finishing 1st in the league with 24 points (5 points clear of second place). In the girls league, there were 9 teams, the girls won 6 games and drew 2, finishing 1st on 20 points, 7 points clear of second place and not conceding a single goal. 

This took both teams through to the semi-finals where the boys played St.Mary's and won a comfortable 2-0. The girls drew 0-0 against St.Patrick's but unfortunately got knocked out on penalties, losing 2-1. It was a great team performance by the girls, which was commented on by the McAuley staff. Also they still did not concede a goal during normal play, which is a great achievement. 

In the final of the boys competition, it was a very close encounter against St.Joseph's. During the first half of the game the boys had to do a lot of defending against a very good passing side. As the game continued, they started to create more opportunities and showed their class with a good team play, which was finished by a lovely goal by Toby. The boys got a thoroughly deserved win, with the final score at 1-0 and winning the overall tournament. 

Well done to everyone who participated, they were a credit to the school. The way in which they conducted themselves on and off the pitch was commented on by other schools as well.

Boys Team: Daniel, Josh, Olivier, Sebastian, Alex, George, Zach, Toby and Jacob.

Girls Team: Natalie, Caitlin, Molly, Erin, Iga, Feechi, Holly, Arianna and Abbie.

Four years running! BRILLIANT!

Y5/6 Athletics at the Keepmoat

Year 2 and Year 4 Sports Day Events

Today Y2 and Y4 took the opportunity to complete their Sports Day Events which were cancelled last week. We completed all of the events that were scheduled and the pupils really enjoyed the afternoon's session. Look at the pictures to be posted later to see who won and the events in action.

Day 5

The last day of sports week included the sponsored walk and Summer Fair in the afternoon so some classes took the opportunity to use the morning to play some more sport.

Mr Ward took Y2 and Reception for gymnastics which included using balance beams, climbing frames and lots of concentration.

Year 4 played volleyball. Something which was totally new to some and quite a challenge for others. However, all pupils improved as the session progressed.

Year 6 played a game of traditional cricket and finished with the old favourite, quick cricket.

Can I please thank all staff who have provided activities for their classes in addition to the normal 2 sessions of PE to enhance the range of experiences that the different sports are able to give. Who knows, we might have encourage 1 or 2, hopefully more, to become involved in sport and become more active and healthy.  Could I also thank the pupils for their hard work and efforts also.

Day 4

Today saw the Reception, Year1 and Year 2 classes complete their Fusion Series activities. The activities included speed bounce, shuttle run, standing long jump and target throw. Lots of fun was had be everyone.

A selection of Y4 pupils went to the Drax Cricket Tournament and were very successful. A detailed report can be found below.

The Y4 left in school played darts. Activities included darts bingo, top score and killer darts.

Year 6 played rounders as did Y5.

Year 3 completed their cricket game. 

Y3 / 4  Cricket Tournament

St Peter’s won their group with ease beating Barnburgh A, Auckley B and Morley B with every player contributing with runs, wickets and great fielding.

In the semi-final, against Warmsworth , they were again comfortable winners which set up a final against last year’s winners, Windhill.

Fielding first in the final the team restricted the opposition well with some superb stops on the boundary but a few dropped catches were costly. The reply stuttered with quite a few careless dismissals for catches and run outs and it was these which cost the match.

In terms of runs scored we were only five runs short of Windhill but losing 8 wickets as opposed to them losing just the one meant the winning margin was 40 runs.

Each member of the squad played well and with a great deal of sportsmanship and they now go through to the South Yorkshire Finals as runners up.

Squad: Josh, William, Leo, Lucas Reece, Scarlett, Elena, Ebube, Ava and Arianna

Day 3 of Sports Week

Unfortunately, we had to cancel Sports afternoon due to the weather but that did not stop classes improvising themselves.

Winners Again 13.6.19

A huge well done to our Y5/6 Tag Rugby team who won the Bowl Competition at the Doncaster Tag Rugby Champions League Finals today. In a competition where games were won by one try or drawn, the top 5 sides were split by a couple of points and tries scored after the 8 teams had played each other once. We won 3 and lost 4. We were fifth so qualified for the Bowl competition. In the semi finals we beat Plover 4-3 and progressed to the final where we beat Kingfisher 4-3 who beat us in the league to win the bowl. Throughout the day the pupils were excellent both in team play, skills and behaviour. Thank you to Mrs Hopson for supporting us on the day.

Squad: Toby. Alex, George, Henry, Olivier, Natalie, Iga, Molly, Zach W, and Joshua.

Active Fusion Delivery 6.6.19

Play on the Pitch@ Doncaster Rovers FC. 21.5.19

CHAMPIONS AGAIN OLE OLE

Well what can I say? Another fantastic result from our school at a major event in Doncaster once again.

On Tuesday we took two teams to the Keepmoat for the play on the pitch tournament. Having enjoyed lots of team building events the focus was then turned to the football. The Y6 team were in a tough group and had to wait until the final game in their group was played to find out if they qualified for knockouts. They finished runners up and qualified for the round of 16. There, they beat Mt Carmel 1-0. In the quarter finals they went to penalties, St John's the opponents missing two and us scoring two which meant that we were through to the semi finals. Here we beat Norton 2-1, Jacob scoring a spectacular goal into the top corner and a speculative overhead lob  of the goal keeper fro the touchline. In the final we beat Barnburgh 1-0 with a superb free kick by Toby which went in off the underside of the bar. It can be viewed on Doncaster Foundation twitter feed by the way! It was a tremendous effort by Daniel, Josh F, Jacob, Olivier, Molly, Toby, Iga and Feechie  to come out on top from 40 other schools.

The Y5 didn't reach the same dizzy heights as Y6 but can be proud of their performance non-the-less. They played themselves into the tournament but unfortunately they couldn't progress into the knockout stages, however the football they played gives us hope of future success net year! Well done Zack, Holly, Abbie, George, Freddy, Jacob, Alex H and Henry.

Could I also thank staff, parents and carers for their help and support across the day.

Y4 Hockey Competition 3.5.19

After completing their hockey unit, Y4 competed in teams against each other to show case the skills that they had developed. Following a round robin tournament the eventual winners were the Yellow Team. They were followed by Red, Blue and Green. The winning squad consisted of Ava, Ariaana, Josh, Alena, Myles Ola and Ebube.

Well done to all of the pupils for their hard work.

CHAMPIONS AGAIN - THIS TIME Y5/6 GIRLS FOOTBALL 24.11.18

It certainly has been a busy and successful week or so at St Peter's. This time it was the turn of the Y5/6 Girls football team that won the Doncaster Girls Football Finals at Rossington. Despite finding it hard to play their usual good football they dug out 3 wins out of 4, each being 1-0 and 1 loss by the same score line. In each game they were dominant but struggled to make the score line reflect that dominance. Having finished top they were matched against Barnburgh in the semi final. The game went to extra time before being decided with a minute to go. In the Final the girls came up against Cannon Popham. The game again went into extra time but with no break through it went to penalties and then sudden death. Molly scoring what was to be the winner. It must be pointed out that the squad of players were fantastic with the support they gave each other. Thank you to staff and parents for their support.

Squad: Natalie, Holly, Feechi, Caitlin, Erin F, Abbie, Ariaana, Iga, Jessica and Molly.

Our after school club came to an end this afternoon with a closely fought out tournament. Having split the pupils into 5 teams they played each other once. With one game remaining two teams were on the same number of points. With 10 seconds to go there was a twist in the play and team 5 who were heading for victory hand a player eliminated leaving the door open for Team 3 to win. A big thank you to all pupils and Sam from Fit2Play for their efforts and commitment. 

Winning team: Zach W, Shawn, Alex H, Katie and Erin M.

Squad: Natalie, Abbie, Holly, Caitlin, Iga, Erin F, Erin M, Molly, Leah and Amber.

Girls McAuley Football Winners and Boys semi-finalists.

A huge well done to our Girls football team who were crowned Champions this afternoon.

After winning through the league stages with 5 wins and 4 draws without conceding a goal, they won their semi in dramatic style, by scoring the winner in the last second of the game. That set up a final against St Francis, a team who we had drawn against earlier. Having dominated for a while 2 goals were scored by St Peter's in quick succession to bring the trophy home. Throughout the day I was impressed by everyone's attitude towards each other as the squad progressed. The achievement was heightened by them not conceding any goals through the whole competition. They were dominant all games with the goalkeeper only having to make saves in the final.

Squad: Abby, Caithlin, Ruby, Helen, Aliabah, Georgie, Erin F, Iga, Holly and Abbie

The boys on the other hand were involved in a very close league with 4 teams being split by 2points at the end. They managed 5 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats to progress to the semi finals. There they were very unlucky to find them selves conceding in the last minute which ended their competition. The squad played really well and were unfortunate to loose the games that they did by the odd goal.

Squad: Daniel, Josh F, Jacob, Toby, Elijah, Tom, Ben, Sebastian, Josh N and Shay.

Could I thank parents and staff for their support at the event and with transport arrangements.

Both girls and boys were a credit to the school with their excellent behaviour.

Cricket Tournament

Well done to our cricket team who won 2 and lost 2 of their games today at Bentley. Having won the first game, things looked positive but 2 close defeats meant that they would not complete in the final rounds. Despite this they showed resilience to get another win from their last game. The players tried their best and were a credit to the school with their excellent behaviour. Thank you for your efforts and to the staff who attended the event.

Squad: Tom, Connor, Ben, Erdene, Harri, Olivier, James, Sebastian, Elijah and Daniel

Doncaster Tag Rugby Finals

Our Tag Rugby squad attended the Finals at Hill House last Friday. The standard at the competition was outstanding in terms of skill and attitude. In our group we won 1 and lost 3, all games being really close. In the 4th play off game we managed to secure a victory to finish 7th overall out of 11 teams. I must congratulate the players for adapting quickly to raise their standard  so that they were able to compete with the other teams. Helen was voted as our player of the tournament by her team mates.They were a credit to the school and to their parents. Thank you to staff and helpers  that made the day possible.

Squad:

Tom, Ben, Caithlin, Iga, Ruby, Helen, Jacob, Toby, Rhys, Olivier, Josh F and Connor.

A big thank you to every pupil who participated in the sports day today. I hope that you enjoyed it , judging from the smiles and cheering you all did!

Many thanks also to the parents and friends for their attendance and support. 

Y4 Zumba and Netball

Zumba was an experience that I will not forget and neither will the pupils. It was fantastic to get Creative and Miss Shelley in to demonstrate and take use through the routines. The pupils handled them with expertise, the staff not as well. It was all good fun and it was pleasing to see that everyone got involved and got a sweat on. Well done to all.

Netball

What a close tournament we had on Tuesday afternoon. After a couple of tight opening fixtures the goals started raining down and individuals excelled in both defence and attack. The final table had Blues on top. Well done to all of you.

Sports Week

Proposed Sports Week Activities June 11^th- 15^th 2018

Active Girls Leaders

Natalie, Connie and Katie attended a course today aimed at increasing the amount of girls participating in physical activity in school and the wider community. Following lots of discussions and activities they came to the conclusion that they can make an impact on this and will work closely with Mr Wynne and the girls in school to provide an even wider range of activities which the girls will feel that they can participate in. They will be conducting surveys, present their findings and make a difference. Boys need not worry as they will also be given the same opportunity to have their say on what activities they might want to see next year also.

Tag Rugby 24.5.18

Our Tag ruby team had their first outing in 2 years today and despite having some Y6 pupils missing due to their residential I have been informed that the pupils who went produce some excellent performances and positive comments have been given to me about them. They managed to secure a third place finish out of a league of 6 teams. Training will continue after the holidays to fine tune their skills. Thank you to staff and parents for their continued support.

Squad: Jacob, George, Rhys, Zach W, Toby, Gvidas, Josh F, Iga, Natalie and Erin F.

22.5.18 PLAY ON THE PITCH

As part of our commitment to provide a variety of opportunities to our pupils we took up the invite from Club Doncaster to participate in the Play on the Pitch festival this year. From a tour of the Rovers ground, to team leading activities,  mini superstars challenges and competitive  football our Y5 squad did the school and themselves proud. In our mini league we won 3 games and lost one, finishing runners up and progressing into the knockout stages last 16. Unfortunately we were beaten 1-0 but from over 40 schools competing we can be pleased with our efforts. Thank you to staff and supporters who attended and parents who picked up from the venue.

Squad: Erin F, Iga, Josh F, Jacob, Daniel, Toby, Sebastian and Elijah.

Item 2: Sports day.

It was put forward if any different races were to be put in place. No suggestions at present but would ask classes for opinions.

Item 3: Dinner time activities.

Representatives were happy with the current provision with Basketball on Tuesday and football days for each class. It was suggested to ask classes if any changes or suggestions could be made.

Item 4: After school activities:

Are we happy with the range of provision? The general consensus was that there are lots of different clubs available. Representatives to see if any alterations need to be made for next year provision.

Item 5: Activity area and bag.

Representatives said that equipment was missing but had not asked for it to be replaced. They were happy with that provision but were asked to find out the thoughts of their class.

Runners up!

Well done to our girls football team who once again went to a competition and came away unbeaten. Despite the rain and wind they managed to come runners up, winning 4 games and drawing 2. Thank you to staff and family members for their continued support.

Well, it has come to the end of our after school sports and activities for this half term. A big thank you to all those who have delivered the activities to our pupils, Mr McNicholas for the football, Mr Orrel from Fit 2 Play for the sports hall athletics, Miss Sharma from Cre8tive Dance, Kat from Danum Eagles for the basketball and Jonny from Fit 2 Play for the Gymnastics. I know that the pupils have enjoyed the sessions from watching them participate each week. It has been nice to see a range of pupils accessing and trying the variety of opportunities that we provide for them, pushing themselves into the unknown at times and achieving what they thought was not possible. Thank you pupils for all your efforts, excellent behaviour and attitudes to each session. I would also like to thank parents and carers for their prompt picks after each session.

Football Competition

It was a great pleasure to take the children to the year 3 and 4 Doncaster school’s competition and watch their progress. Both the boys and girl’s teams played exceptionally well and showed great teamwork as well as some fancy footwork. The boys reached the quarter finals having come second in their group winning 2 matches, drawing 1 and losing 1 but were unfortunately eliminated on penalties. The girls however made it all the way to the finals with some excellent team performances which included 8- 0 and 7-0 wins. The girls won every match and let no goals in at all even in the final which means that St Peter’s year 3 and 4 girls are Doncaster Champions. Well done to Abbie, Holly, Nicol, Ariaana, Evie, Natalie, Annabel, and Elena as well as George, Freddy, Henry, Josh, Alex, Myles, Lucas and Zak for their fabulous performances. We are immensely proud of you!

Autumn Term 2015

 

Seated Volleyball - Wednesday 26th November Our Year 4 children were given the opportunity to play some seated volleyball last Wednesday.  Following a morning skills session they then played some competitive games.  Although this was the first time of playing the game they were able to adapt and enjoyed the day’s activities.  Thank you for your hard work and efforts and to the staff who supported on the day.

School Sports Council We have recently elected a Sports Council from KS2 classes.  Their task will be to monitor the pupils’ reactions to the various aspects of PE and sport which we provide.  This includes curriculum and after school activities.  It also gives the children a voice as to any changes they might like to see in after school or lunchtime provision.

South Yorkshire Football Finals – Friday 20th November The Boys are 5th best in South Yorkshire!!! What an achievement! Our Y5/6 boys footballers recorded 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses on their way to finish 5th in the whole of South Yorkshire, 5th out of 120 teams!!   It was a slow start to the competition for the boys who started with 4 straight defeats. However, in each of those games the boys were arguably the better side and should have got something for their efforts. Despite this they managed to pull together and deservedly won the next 2 and drew the last game.   Squad: Ben, Greg, Myles, Rowan, Seth, James, Pablo, Toby and Jack H. The school is proud of all your hard work. Well Done!     Thank you also to all parents for transporting to and from the venue and staff for your support!

South Yorkshire Football Finals The Girls are 4th best in South Yorkshire!! What an achievement, what a team!  Our Y5/6 girl’s footballers recorded 5 draws, 1 win and 1 loss on their way to finishing 4th in the whole of South Yorkshire, 4th out of 120 teams!!! From tackles made, goals scored and saves made, their commitment to the team was outstanding.  In each game the girls showed their ability to play individually as well as a team. Sintia pulled off some amazing saves, Ella Mae and Olivia H were solid in defence, Eliza showed individual skill and Courtney, Aoife, Olivia J, Shantai and Sienna worked hard to defend and attack the opposition whenever they could.  The school is proud of all your hard work.  Well Done! Thank you also to all parents for transporting to and from the venue and staff for your support!

Y3/4 Lunchtime Football Competition The competition was won by Team United.  Squad: Tom M, Connor M, Helen, Ruby, Rufaro and Daniel W

Indoor Athletics Our Y5/6 children competed in the McAuley Pyramid Indoor Athletics Competition and finished a creditable 3rd in a highly competitive competition.  The events included various track and field disciplines. Well done to all our children and the staff who supervised on the day!

Sainsburys Active Mark Success We have received our Bronze Award from Sainsburys Active Mark this week which is proudly displayed in out entrance hall! To achieve this we had to demonstrate that our school provides a range of physical activities for our children.  This ranged from Lunchtime Clubs, Playground Games Makers, Mini Leaders, both in school and out of school competitions, school to club links, after school clubs, a variety of sporting activities delivered through the PE Curriculum, and a competitive sports day.  We have achieved this through children’s enthusiasm for Physical Education and the support and delivery from staff.  Many thanks to you all!

Y3/4 Boys Football – Lakeside School, Thursday 4th November Y3/4 boy’s footballers were again in action this week.  In a local competition they played 4 games, winning 2 and drawing 2.  Well done to you all and the staff for supervising.
