Some of our eco warriors are starting to raise the profile about food waste at lunchtime.

Here are the Year 3 Eco warriors weighing the food waste after lunch on Thursday. They are hoping to see a reduction in food being wasted over the coming two terms

Today Year 2 have been taken back in time to 1666 and the Great Fire of London. Everyone looked fantastic in their costumes. They took part in sewing, making clay button pots, poem writing, painting, creating a picture on the laptops, writing short hand like Samuel Pepys using a quill and ink, amongst other things. It was a really busy and exciting day!

The B team played their last fixture of the Autumn term away to Bernards Heath on a very muddy pitch which was challenging for both teams.

Determined to avenge their previous defeat, the team made a very positive start with an early goal from Xander. Unfortunately, they weren't able to capitalise on a number of chances before the tide turned and Prae Wood found themselves under attack from Bernards Heath. Goalkeeper, Otto, was called into action on numerous actions, pulling off some fantastic saves which earnt him Player of the Match. The final score was 4-1 to Bernards Heath.

Overall, it has been a positive start to their league campaign with two wins, two losses and a draw. The team will play a further three fixtures during the Spring term.

It was back to winning ways for the netball team as they played away to How Wood this week.

The team built on their score each quarter and only allowed one goal from their opponents in the last quarter. The final score was 6-1 to Prae Wood with Harry, once again, chosen as our Most Valuable Player by our opponents.

The team's last match in their Autumn local league takes place at Prae Wood next Thursday against St Adrians.

Two Prae Wood teams took part in a School Games basketball tournament hosted by Oaklands Wolves at Oaklands College this week.

This tournament is always an exciting format with each team made up of five girls and five boys. Girls play the first half against their opponent's girls before the boys play the second half with scores combined. To add to the excitement, a musical power play takes place during each half with double points and the opportunity for those not playing to join in with the 'Y.M.C.A' or sing along to more recent favourites such as 'Golden' by the KPop Demon Hunters.

There was great play and team work from both Prae Wood teams however both struggled to score baskets which made for a mixed bag of results and not enough wins to make it through to the semi finals on this occasion. Nevertheless, it was a very enjoyable afternoon which allowed the players to test their skills developed in PE, and for some at our after school club, against other schools. It was definitely a more physical experience compared to playing basketball against classmates in PE and did leave many of us wondering how basketball is deemed to be a non contact sport!

Well done to everyone who took part.
