Prae Wood strides back into top ten!

Prae Wood have made it back into the top ten on the national leaderboard of the WOW, Walk to School challenge.

Well done to everyone who is making the effort to walk, scoot and cycle to Prae Wood- let's see if we can walk our way further up the board!

Cup football v Bowmansgreen

Cup football v Bowmansgreen
On Tuesday, the A team played Bowmansgreen in the second round of the St Albans City Cup having received a bye in the first round.
 
It was a very competitive match in which both teams hit the cross bar several times and the goalies made some exciting saves.  Hugo leveled for Prae Wood in the second half after Bowmansgreen took the lead.  Bowmansgreen were quick to regain the lead and despite pressing hard, Prae Wood were unable to force the fixture into extra time. 
 
The final score was 2-1 to Bowmansgreen with goal keeper, Ayden, a well deserved man of the match. 
Y6 evacuated to the 1940s

Y6 evacuated to the 1940s

On Tuesday, Year 6 took part in a World War Two immersion day. Dressed as evacuees or in 1940s fashion, the children participated in a number of different activities to learn about the war and the social changes in Britain at the time.

They made chocolate truffles out of mashed potato to understand how rationing impacted family's food supply; they analysed primary sources as historians before having to take cover during an unexpected air raid siren; they learnt the different goals of the Allied Forces and the Axis Powers and formed alliances based on these goals; and, in the afternoon, reenacted the events and movements of the armies during World War Two.

The children were also expected to carry ID cards and evacuee tags all day and had these sporadically checked by members of staff to ensure no one was an enemy spy!

We hope the children had an enjoyable and informative day!

Sports Ambassadors Learn to Zumba

Sports Ambassadors Learn to Zumba
On the last Friday of half term, the Sports Ambassadors came together for their first official engagement.
 
The afternoon started with a meeting attended by Dan Klinger, our School Games Officer, who congratulated the children on being selected for this special role.  Dan talked about the importance of the STEP principle when organising events as well as the need to make things fun!  The Sports Ambassadors shared some of their initial ideas for projects or events, which we will explore in more detail in future meetings.
 
It was then on to the fun - a Zumba session led by instructor, Tony Leary, who taught us two contrasting routines, one to a seventies dance classic, Boogie Wonderland, and the other requiring a hip hop swagger.  The group certainly earnt the snacks provided before returning to class at the end of the afternoon.  
Netball v St Bernadette

Netball v St Bernadette
The netball team experienced their first loss of the season away to St Bernadette.
 
We expected this to be our toughest fixture but it made for an exciting and competitive match.  St Bernadette were only ever one goal ahead up until the end of the third quarter, but pulled away in the final quarter with the score ending 8-5.
 
It was a great team effort.  Well done to Harry at Goal Defence, who was voted Most Valuable Player for his defensive work and ability to bring the ball through the centre court.  Well done also to Isla and Lottie who made their Prae Wood debut replacing our missing Year 6 shooters.
