Year 3 and 4 Sports Day
Year 3 and 4 Sports Day
Our day started with some fun races; a hockey slalom, a fancy dress race and a water race. We needed to work together as a team to earn as many points as possible. We could also earn bonus points for cheering and supporting our team mates!
Just before we went in for lunch, the sun came out and anyone who wanted to could compete in a long distance race - twice around the field! It was hard work and sometimes the adults had to be our pace makers.
After lunch, we came back out to compete in the races on the track. There were sprint races, skipping races, hurdles races and we finished with the relay races!
It was a really fun day and we were very relieved that the sun was shining!
Total house points from Yr34 sports day:
Lark = 180 (1st)
Kingfisher = 164 (2nd)
Buzzard = 138 (3rd)
Heron = 124 (4th)
Year 5 and 6 Sports Day
Year 5 and 6 Sports Day and trip
Year 5 and 6 had a fantastic time showing off their sporting skills during Sports Day. All the children participated really well and the team work was excellent.
The competition was high and it was great to see the children really pushing themselves, especially as it was really hot outside. Lots of fun was had and there were stickers for first, second, third and best runner up.
Well done everyone
House points scores were:
Heron = 56
Lark = 43
Buzzard = 41
Kingfisher = 38
Year 6 also went on a very, very long walk this week all the way to St Catherine’s Hill. Everyone managed the climb and loved running around in the sun and rolling down hills! There were some very tired faces at the end of the day.
Cross Country is just the start
Sports is an important aspect of school life. It helps to keep children’s minds and body active, it’s good for their wellbeing, it builds resilience and helps to strengthen team skills.
This term we have made sure that children at Stanmore have been given as many opportunities to participate in sport activities as possible. They have had the opportunity to take part in football, running, yoga and multi-skills.
We recently entered two cross-country races, where the children who took part did incredibly well in running against other schools despite the weather and competition – all the children thoroughly enjoyed the events and showed great sportsmanship.
The highlight for Stanmore School is that Seth and Thomas from Year 6 have been chosen to take part in the Cross-Country Championships on Thursday 5th March in Basingstoke! Good Luck boys!
We hope to continue our love of sport at Stanmore by participating in more competitions, encouraging more children to attend clubs and hosting a sports event at the school!
Cross Country Running
On Wednesday 29th January, children from KS2 participated in a cross-country event at Knightwood Leisure Centre, Eastleigh.
The children running were very resilient, despite the muddy field, the distance and the cold conditions; they persevered! It was such a pleasure to see them support each other by either cheering from the side or running alongside their peers.
Miss Kelly and I were so pleased to see the number of children who attended and who represented Stanmore Primary in such a positive way. We were so proud of all of them for running a long distance and we are even more delighted to have seen Seth Noott take 1st place and Thomas Megoran take 3rd place in the boys’ race.
We are now looking forward to Thursday 6th February, when the cross-country team will compete for a chance to enter the district championships!
We've won a Bronze medal for our sporting achievements this year!
We are delighted to announce that we, have achieved the School Games Bronze Mark Award for the 2018/19 academic year.
The School Games Mark is a Government led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.

With a number of young people competing in local inter-school competitions this year, we are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our competitions possible.
As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas of participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.
A special thanks to all the staff who have supported the children in their sporting activities this year, but particular thanks to Miss Kingshott our PE co-ordinator.
We look forward to applying once again in 2020!
It is summer - it is time for cricket!
On Monday 20th May, a team of talented, young criketers attended a cricket tornament at Hursely Park Road Cricket club. The weather was on our side, and the children hit some fantatic 4s and even some 6s. The bowling and level of play was fantastic; the children got some wickets, caught out a few players from other teams and made some great runs. Because of the highly skilled play, the mixed team of Year 4/5/6 made it to the semi final. Every child finished with a smile on their face and a new T-shirt.
This was the first of our cricket competitions. This week, on Monday 3rd June, another group of talented cricketers attended a cricket tornament at Hursely Park Road Cricket club. None of the girls in the team play cricket outside of school for a club, and some hadn't played since Year 4, but, nonetheless, there was some fantatsic bolwing, some great runs, some excellent hitting - again scoring some 4s. The team had a fantatsic day in the sun and assured me they enjoyed every game they played.
Both teams showed respect towards each other and other teams; cooperation by communicating, working together and supporting each other; resilience and persistence during the matches and every child had the confidence to represent Stanmore Primary School .

Six nations rugby?
Taking part in the Tag Rugby Festival
The Tag Rugby team represented Stanmore Primary School at a Tag Rugby Festival on Thursday 21st March 2019 at Winchester Rugby Club.
Each team player showed sportsmanship, teamwork and respect towards their teammates and other teams. They cheered for everyone and clapped when other teams scored; at the end of each match the children shook hands with their opposition. There were some amazing tries scored, great footwork and some fantastic tackles made but the highlight for me was their pure enthusiasm and enjoyment of my favourite game.
At the end of the festival, teams were awarded for different things; I recieved an email after the event from a different school who said 'the children believe that Stanmore showed the best sportmanship and that we deserved this award more than they did'. I then recieved the certifiates which were presented to this school to hand out to our team! Well done to all of you, you all did something yesterday that you should be proud of! I can't wait until next year.
Year 5 & 6 - Athletics competition
Athletics competition at Kings
A team of thirteen children from Years 5 and 6 had the privilege to attend an athletics competition at Kings School Winchester.
Each child took part in a running race, as well as throwing and jumping competitions. The children were keen, confident and resilient during each activity; their smiles and enthusiasm lit up the sports hall.
They all did their very best and worked co-operatively by cheering on their team and other teams too. Well done!
Year 5 & 6 - our girls playing football
Our girls in a local football tournament
The Year 5/6 girls took part in football tornament on Wednesday afternoon at Henry Beaoufort School, Winchester. Despite not playing as a team before, the girls played from strength to strength against some tough competition. Not only did they do themselves proud, they represented the school showing great sportmanship, teamwork and persistance. The girls had enormous amouts of fun even though they did not win, their enthusiasm kept Miss Kingshott and Mrs Kempson smiling.
Well done girls!
