Footballing Success

Mon 25 Nov 2019 Mr Watkins

On Friday 22nd November 2019 a squad of 8 Colville players took part in the EFL Utilita cup competition at Bottisham VIllage College. Having been drawn into a tough group and facing 6 group games and 13 rounds to the final, Luke Dace (captain) knew the importance of starting strongly. In their first match against The Grove, Harrison scored a low drive from the edge of the area and Colville won 1-0. Next up was William Westley, where despite an excellent finish from Bobby, we were held to a 1-1 draw. A very tough game against the Vine was decided by Ollie’s superb long range effort and two from Guillermo. Another victory against the Stephen Perse school saw a goal each for Harrison and Guillermo. Round 8 saw a first defeat to St Andrews of Soham, but a goal by Yair and a 1-0 win against Willingham ensured a top place finish in the pool. The final was contested between Milton Road and Colville. Goals from Yair and Guillermo in the first two minutes ensured a tense but victorious finish to the tournament, with Colville becoming the EFL club winners 2019. Congratulations!!!

Tue 19 Nov 2019 Mr Watkins

Thank you so much to all those parents and family members who helped with costumes and sponsorships for our annual Panto Run. The number of children in costume and the amount of laps completed were very pleasing. The total raised is as yet unknown as sponsorship continues to come in. The pupils will be most excited to see this year's production of Cinderella (oh no they won't).

Duxford

Tue 19 Nov 2019 Mr Watkins

Year 6 enjoyed a trip to Duxford Imperial War museum as part of their studies into World War Two recently. The feedback from the pupils was that it was an amazing experience to see the military hardware up close. Particular highlights included the actual WW2 bomb shelters, the land warfare D-Day exhibit and the diorama of the crashed Me 109.

Cambridge Mosque Trip

Mon 04 Nov 2019 Mr Watkins

Woodpeckers enjoyed a very engaging and interesting trip to Cambridge Mosque on Mill Road. The Mosque were excellent hosts, giving our students lots of detail and opportunities to explore the various sections of the building. The children asked insightful questions and enjoyed learning about Islam. Particular highlights were the balcony, dome, spa-like washing areas and the community gardens. Miss Harris and I would like to warmly thank the Mosque for the trip and hope we can repeat it with subsequent classes.
