Poole 7-a-side Tournament

On Thursday 5th October, the Longfleet Lions (our Y6 Boys' football team) took part in a 7-a-side tournament hosted by Baden-Powell St. Peter's Junior School. The event featured 10 Poole schools all trying to qualify for the four places in the Poole Regional Final.

The group games started well with a 2-0 win over Hamworthy  Junior with goals from Remi and Brodie followed up with a 1-0 victory against Talbot Primary with a second from Remi. They lost their next game 1-0 to Haymoor Junior but a 0-0 draw in the final game against Canford Heath Junior was enough to win the group and qualify for the final.

In the final, they played Oakdale Junior and drew 0-0, sharing the title of joint-winners for the afternoon. The team are looking forward to playing in the Poole Regional Final after half-term. Well done to all of the players and thanks to to the spectators for supporting the team.

An amazing first day has been had. The year split into two groups with one group building shelters as their first teamwork challenge. A well-deserved lunch followed this.  After lunch, the group tried its hand at trying to make fire. They were shown three different ways to try and make fire. One was using a bow system, another was with a pump drill and the other was using a rolling technique. The other group had their history day. They learnt about medicines, saw some weapons and made a chalk carving. We then returned to the houses and had a bit of a rest and an unpack. Then dinner time! The children tucked into their BBQ food before settling down for a wonderful story from the amazing storyteller Lizzy! The children are all tucked up in bed getting (hopefully) a good night’s sleep before another busy day tomorrow.
