Year 1 Scooter Training

Posted on Saturday 18 May 2013 by

It was a very exciting day in Year 1 as the children were learning how to ride a scooter safely and how to stay safe when crossing a road. The children discussed suitable clothing and footwear, how to behave when riding on a footpath and how to use traffic lights and zebra crossings correctly. Snowdrop Class were up first and they had a fantastic time as these pictures show.

HAVING ALREADY WON their league competition, our Year 6 netball team played a friendly match against Someries Junior School last week.

The first quarter saw St Matthew’s take an early 2-1 lead with Chanel and Alexia each scoring one goal. This was followed up with two more goals in the second quarter, scored by Alexia and Shannah, with the Someries team unable to add to their score. Saffron was the player of the third quarter, scoring two goals for St Matthew’s; Someries managed a goal in this period of the game also. In the final quarter, the girls really piled on the pressure with four goals, three of which were scored by Shannah and Paulina added her name to the scoresheet with one goal. As in the second period, Someries were unable to respond to the gameplay of the St Matthew’s team.

The final score was:
