Year 2 Netballers at the ROPS Netball Gathering


On Tuesday 21st of September the Royal Oak Primary School Netball players met in the hall for an annual prizegiving.


This year an enthusiastic group of nearly 4o Year 2 children were involved! Over this term and last they all participated in ball skills and drills every Thursday lunchtime and even built up to learning the court formation and playing games. The students really enjoyed taking part in this programme and we would really like to thank Nicola Mills who ran the programme and her assistants: Nicky Russell, Belinda Lee, Megan Parke, Kelly Flux, Sara McIntosh, Kerry Warn- without their wonderful help and support this wouldnt have been possible.


We recognised both parents and children who were involved in this programme and each child got a certificate and a ball to encourage them to continue to practise and play the sport.


I can't wait to see them on the court next year!!

GAMESATHON!


Today was a great day at Royal Oak Primary School!

The whole school participated in a fundraising 'Gamesathon'.

The rain (mostly) held off for us all to get out alongside our buddy classes and participate in all sorts of fun games and activities.

We were all assigned a country from the Commonwealth and we represented our countries by wearing their colours and making banners and flags as well as other fun things such as wigs, hats, face paint, lavalavas and even feather boas!

A great time was had by all and a huge thanks goes out to Mrs Jamieson and her team of wonderful teachers who organised the huge event for us. And another big thanks goes out to all our family and friends who sponsored us!
