School Games 6Ts Cricket
27/02/2026 1:39 PM
A team of Year 4 cricketeers took part in the School Games 6Ts tournament at Roundwood Park this week.
The indoor cricket format, which sees batters hitting balls off tees rather than a bowled ball, is a quick and exciting game. Batters need precision to score initial runs by hitting their balls through gates, earning 4 runs per gate before the batting pair even start scoring runs in the traditional way by running between the wickets. Everyone managed to score some 4 pointers, but Sofia and Liam were most consistent in doing so.
Unfortunately, the team started with two losses but both by the narrowest of margins, 1 run against Markyate and 3 runs against The Lea. The team remained positive, with lots of encouragement and discussion over fielding tactics, and were rewarded with two wins in the group stage, 58-43 v Bowmansgreen and 41-19 v Windermere. This wasn't enough to take the team through to the final but they definitely had a good time and were great representatives for Prae Wood.
Football v St Columba's
23/02/2026 11:52 AM
The B team hosted St Columba's shortly before the half term break, with the pitch just about holding up after the wet start to 2026.
After the previous 6-6 epic draw, it was hard to know how the game would pan out. Prae Wood took an early lead with a goal from Xander and with Felix adding a second. Unfortunately, St Columba's demonstrated a more clinical approach to the game with excellent passing and positioning, for which they were rewarded with five goals. The final score finished 5-2 to St Columba's. Congratulations to Xander who was voted Player of the Match by our opponents.

Well done to Aelia in Year 3 who was awarded her first milestone wristband for completing 11 junior parkruns, the equivalent of a half marathon.
Aelia has been attending Verulamium junior parkrun regularly on a Sunday morning since our primary parkrun launch event in November where she enjoys completing the 2km course alongside some of her classmates. Aelia will receive her next milestone wristband on completion of 21 events, which is 42km making a full marathon.
