On Wednesday, seven year 6 girls and boys took part in the Bee Netball A team Plate final against 8 other local schools at Northstowe Secondary College.

It was a hot, sunny afternoon, which presented a beautiful backdrop, but tiring conditions for an afternoon of netball. We all needed to stay well hydrated and be as much in the shade as possible between matches. The team played with commitment and enthusiasm and had fun playing against all the other schools. We scored a few goals but, on the day, score lines did not go our way. Despite this, all the children kept their heads high and played with determination and integrity. They received a nomination for the ‘Spirit of the Games’ award which recognised the amazing way they played as a team supporting each other and their sportsman-like conduct. Another member of staff also came along to show appreciation of their honesty on court.

We were proud of how they represented the Willingham Primary School's values through an enjoyable afternoon of sport.

We now look forward to continuing to improve our skills at netball club, with our Year 5s developing their skills ready for the next tournament in the Autumn Term!
