Year 5/6 Rounders Tournament

Today after school, our Year 5/6 rounders team travelled to Shipston High School to compete in the local area rounders tournament. With six teams taking part, each team played five matches. Having practised hard, our team arrived feeling quietly confident and ready for the challenge ahead.

They performed brilliantly throughout the tournament, demonstrating some phenomenal batting and consistently accurate fielding. The team kept their focus on the ball at all times, while our deep fielders showed great determination, making several excellent runs and catches to get batters out.

Out of their five matches, our team won four and narrowly lost just one. At the end of the tournament, the top two teams were tied on points, meaning the final standings had to be decided by rounders difference.

We are delighted to announce that Quinton finished in second place, missing out on the top spot by just one rounder! Throughout the event, our team showed outstanding sportsmanship, supported one another brilliantly, and demonstrated excellent teamwork. We could not be prouder of their effort, determination, and attitude.

A huge thank you to all the parents who came along to support the event.

Well done, Team Quinton! You were amazing!

A few weeks ago Year 1 wrote questions for Jordan Weston a.k.a The Bearded Botanist from Westons Nursery. We were very excited on Friday to find that he had written back to us and answered some of our questions! He told us that his favourite plant is a Dahlia, so we used our careful observation skills to draw Dahlias of our own. 

Please have a read of this week's Quinton Quill.

Have a lovely weekend.

Year 6 band 'Purple Plutonians' have arrived at Woodbine Recording Studio to record their original song 'The Milky Way Motorway'! 🎙️ We can't wait to hear how their debut single turns out!

On Friday we celebrated 'World Environment Day'. The School Council members started the day with an assembly, packed with information about the theme for the day 'A Global Call for Climate Action'.  Once back in class, we looked at the WWF website and the 10 most endangered animals, reading about the reasons that their numbers in the wild a so low, including hunting, deforestation and wildfires. The children chose one of these animals and used clay to make them. We were overwhelmed with the creativity of the children and their attention to detail. They were so excited to use the clay and really showed off their skills in manipulating it to create shapes and animal parts, as well as using tools to help join the pieces and add texture and markings to their creatures! Well done Year 1 :)
