Some Year 3 and Year 4 children took part in a Cricket Skills Festival on Tuesday at Archbishop Holgate’s School. They had a good time practising their bowling, batting and throwing skills and then played some small sided games. A great opportunity to get involved in the game of cricket and prepare for the summer season ahead. Well done to Sebastian, Charlie, Jack M, Jack W, Libby, Charlotte, Ryan, Oscar and Ollie!

Dunnington Netball Report
Dunnington School played netball at Fulford Secondary on Tuesday the 20th February. There were three teams: the reds, the blues and the yellows.
The Reds:
The Dunnington reds won all their matches and qualified to the final. They were an extremely strong team and displayed excellent passing and shooting skills.
Unfortunately, the final result was 1-0 to Wheldrake; this was disappointing but they had played their best throughout.
The Blues:
The first game was against the Dunnington reds! Unfortunately, the Dunnington reds were a strong team and the first match was lost. The second game was lost too but they managed a draw in the third match and shooter Freddie M scored. In the fourth game the blues won by 2-0 with two amazing shots by the shooter Evan R. In the fifth game it was another win with star shooter Isobel D scoring the winning goal at the last minute.
The Yellows:
In the first match the blues won 3-1 against Bishopthorpe with Charlie N opening the score. Although a goal was conceded, Raffi B scored two outstanding goals to wrap up the game. The next two matches were won with Sam T scoring in the second game and Harrison B scoring in the last. Unfortunately, the team was all boys which meant that they couldn’t qualify; however, it was an overall brilliant performance. <span class="su-quote-cite"><strong>Match reports by: Evan, Isobel, Sam, Charlie, Raffi, Harrison and Will</strong></span>
