Our No. 1 court tickets, received through the LTA Schools ballot, allowed us to watch three exciting finals - the men's wheelchair doubles, boys doubles and girls singles finals.   With British interest in both the wheelchair doubles and the boys' doubles, we were able to lend our support whilst marvelling at the quality of play.   

 

As well as spending time spectating on No. 1 court, we also visited the very crowded Henman Hill to check on the progress of the men's doubles final (won by Brits Lloyd Glasspool and Julian Cash) on the big screen.  We sat courtside on court 16 to watch world number 1 wheelchair singles player Tokito Odo's practice session.  It was a real thrill to be able to get so close and experience the power and skill of this eventual tournament winner.

 

What a memorable and inspiring day for our Year 5s and 6s.   

With Year 6 off visiting their new secondary schools, Year 5 took on the circle group leadership role for our annual circuits activity last week.

 

Having devised activities for the circle groups to rotate around, such as den building, parachute games and balloon tennis, the Year 5s did a fantastic job explaining and leading their activity as well as keeping their group together (including hats and water bottles) and helping to make sure everyone was involved.  Year 5 also helped to tidy up at the end - thank you.  All staff members were impressed by Year 5's conduct and we are confident that we will have another team of fantastic circle group leaders next academic year.
