South Norfolk Cross Country Competition

Seven runners from Spooner Row qualified to take part in the South Norfolk Cross Country Competition at Old Buckenham on November 7th. The competition was for children from large and small schools that had qualified from their clusters to take part. It was a very strong competition.

Spooner Row runners achieved the best results the school has ever had in this competition. Three Spooner Row children qualified for the Norfolk finals by finishing in the top ten and two others only just missed out by finishing eleventh. Our year four boy actually won his race with an amazing performance.   

The excellent lunchtime coaching from Mrs Baker and Mrs Sparkes has really paid off.

Who is that with the cheesy grin?






First place in the year 4 race. Well done!

Spooner Row entered two teams into the Wymondham Cluster Tag rugby tournament that was held at Wymondham Rugby Club on Monday 25th February. Team A Team B Both teams played extremely well. Spooner Row's team B didn't lose any of their seven games and finished in second place which means they will go through to the South Norfolk tournament on 22nd May. Team A also did very well finishing just behind team B in third place but sadly just missed out on qualifying for the next round. The last (and best) game of the day was between Spooner Row's A and B teams. Both teams were desperate to win. The final score in this fantastic game was 6 all.
