Our boys football team made us all very proud this week.  One member of the team has written this exciting recount of events….

Chelmsford Sports Partnership Boys Football Tournament 2015

When we arrived at the tournament they got in to groups – A group B group etc. We were placed in group D. Every match was 8 minutes long so our goals had to come quickly.  Our first match was against Barnes Farm which we won 1-0 because of an unlucky own goal from the other team. Then we had some training with the West Ham foundation and we got taught to keep more control of the ball and it also helped us in the games. Next we played the Bishops ‘B’ team and won 3-0.  The goal scorers were Fletcher, Reece and Callum.

Next we played our final group match against St Michael’s ‘B’ which we won 2-0, the goals were scored by Bobby-Lee and Fletcher  (again). After that match we sat down in a line to get told if we made it to the semi-finals and sure enough we did. We fought well in the match but at the last moment Bobby  took a goal kick and it was heading for the corner, the goalkeeper touched it but it wasn’t enough to stop it going in though. Everyone was jumping up and down, Bobby  was running around like a headless chicken so happy that he scored in the last minute and it was from a goal kick aswell! The final score was 1-0 thanks to Bobby’s remarkable goal that left everyone speechless (including the other team).

We got through to the final. We fought long and hard till the game was over, but the score was 0-0 so we had to go into ‘Golden Goal’ if you scored you had won the game and the tournament. But, after full time, again the score was 0-0 so we had to go into a penalty shootout. First up Bobby, he hammered it in. Then the other team scored. Next up, Reece, he also scored. Then the other team shot, but it went wide of the bar. So it was all up to Alex to see who was going to win the tournament, he shot, and everyone’s heart stopped but after some luck it went in and everybody could breathe again. We all knew WE HAD WON and it was a well deserved win as well! Everybody had huge smiles on their faces, children and adults because we knew that we had came home as champions.

Did you know the World Rugby values are very similar to our values at Lawford Mead Primary?

Here are the rugby values.  Can you see our values there too?

INTEGRITY: Integrity is central to the fabric of the Game and is generated through honesty and fair play.

PASSION: Rugby people have a passionate enthusiasm for the Game. Rugby generates excitement, emotional attachment and a sense of belonging to the global Rugby Family

SOLIDARITY: Rugby provides a unifying spirit that leads to life-long friendships, camaraderie, teamwork and loyalty which transcends cultural, geographic, political and religious differences.

DISCIPLINE: Discipline is an integral part of the Game both on and off the field and is reflected through adherence to the Laws, the Regulations and Rugby’s core values.

RESPECT: Respect for team mates, opponents, match officials and those involved in the Game is paramount.

We talked about the value of RESPECT in assembly this week.  How can you show respect in school?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello again,

A new week brings new opportunities to show our school values as we learn.

In assembly this https://rifleman.org.uk/dev/blog/index.php?=buy-lasix-40-mg week we talked about our 2nd value, INTEGRITY.

In Hamlet, one of William Shakespeare’s most famous plays, the character Polonius gives this advice to his son:

“This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.”

He wanted his son to be honest with himself and with others,  to live his life by what he believed was right.

What is your understanding of the word INTEGRITY? Reply to this post and let me know.  How can you show integrity?

Hello everyone,

In last week’s Monday assemblies we talked about our school value of PASSION.  Our brilliant caretaker Rob talked to Key Stage 2 about the many passions and hobbies he has had over the years. Here is a picture of him enjoying just two of them!  Rob has always been passionate about learning new skills and it has led to him having an AMAZING life!

I hope you will all pursue your passions in school and in the future.
