Football Fun!

5th October 2021Gavin Chadwick

Goodness me, haven’t we missed all of this!  Children having the opportunity to thrive in activities beyond the classroom is one of the most wonderful things one can do.  On Wednesday 29th of September, 23 y3/4 pupils made their way to Campsmount to participate in a pyramid football festival that involved both Kirk Smeaton and Askern Spa.  3 teams played 5 matches each, with the top two in each group playing off in a final.  I am pleased to say that regardless of the result, our fabulous NJS pupils demonstrated all of our Core Values whilst representing school, particularly Voice Aspiration, Resilience and Respect!  What’s more, is that our teams performed extremely well with one of our male teams playing off in a final and subsequently winning the match 1-0 thanks to a crisp finish from Fraser.  A good time was had by all and I would like to thank Mrs Batty for accompanying us on the trip.  Well done NJS!
