Sports Day


Our Sports Day was held on Wednesday 26th June.





This year each house adopted a county to represent. Blue House were Italy, Red House were Sri Lanka, Yellow House were Turkey and Green House were Spain. Sports day kicked off with an Olympic style opening ceremony.

























The Children's races were all very all very closely contested with all the children showing great determination and resilience.



The parents races perhaps provided an indication of why the children at Spooner Row are so competitive. The mum's race was won by Mrs Oswick and the dad's race was won by Mr Webster. After a very thorough IAAF gender investigation sadly Mrs Waterman was disqualified from the dad's race and her very impressive third place was awarded to a real dad instead.

The children's competition was the closest it has ever been with all four teams scoring over 100 points. The final results were:

1st place - Yellow House
2nd place - Green House
3rd place - Red House
4th place - Blue House

Congratulations Yellow House.

Thanks to the Friends for providing afternoon teas.

Thanks also to Mrs Newbery for organising the event.

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. Thanks to parent helpers Mrs Sparkes and Mrs Saint.
