  Thank you to all the team for supporting the children.

• U11 Football Tournament 2018

  Sun 28 Jan 2018 Mr Duke

  In freezing conditions, on the superb 3G pitches in Skegness, the football team performed with heart and resilience against the best small school teams in Lincolnshire on Saturday. Due to the reduced squad numbers, the whole team played every minute and performed admirably.

  Nerves may have played a part in the opening 3-0 defeat to Colsterworth (the eventual champions) despite outstanding defensive work from McCartney and - in goal - Wray, who saved superbly on two occasions. 

  Supporters were nervy themselves after Grasby took a quick 2-0 lead in the second match. However, BcL were inspired by a superb midfield performance from Heather, who drove the side on with crunching tackles, endless energy and creative passing. Slater began to show his speed and skill, culminating in a superb 20 yard strike into the top left-hand corner. With Keating and Bogg supporting well in midfield, BcL were taking control of the game. Soon after, with confidence flowing, Slater shot from distance again, bringing out a great save from the 'keeper. Fortunately, Hayes - Sadio Mane-like - was on hand to prod home from close range.  It was a shame that against the run of play Grasby squeaked home a winner as BcL certainly deserved at least a point from a highly entertaining match.

  In the third match, against the highly fancied Our Lady of Lincoln (runner's up in the final), BcL took the lead in the opening minute. Having looked dangerous from corner kicks throughout, Slater's kick found Heather who hit a great strike off the bar to make it 1-0. As the game progressed the quality of the oppositions number 7 shone through and he almost single handedly turned the match. Despite brave defensive work from Bogg, McCartney, Keating and the superb Wray in goal (who made a string of excellent one on one saves during the tournament) Our Lady scored twice to earn a semi-final place.

  The team deserved at least a point in the second and third games and were unlucky to leave Skegness empty-handed. A play off for 7th and 8th ended in a disappointing defeat, but tired legs played a part. 

  The team played with pride and superb sportsmanship throughout and the heart they showed in the second game encapsulated their effort. A huge thank you to all of our supporters and a special mention to Mr Slater and Oscar for coaching on the sidelines and to Mrs Wright and Ms Fisher for their support. 

  

• Great Grandparents Afternoon

  Tue 23 Jan 2018 Mr Duke

  We had a full house at both sites as our children enjoyed spending creative time with their grandparents. At Laughton, everyone created a collage based on 'The Rainbow Fish' and at Blyton, a well-being inspired colouring activity.

   

  The feedback was overwhelmingly positive:

   

  "A very enjoyable afternoon of activity and chat comparing what school is like now to what it was."

  "Enjoyed the colouring and the singing."

  "It's been a nice change to come to school and work along with Holly and the rest of the children."

  "Very good to include grandparents."

  "A happy event. Thank you."

  "Thank you for the colouring afternoon. It was very nice."

  "It was a lovely afternoon. Thank you for inviting us."

   

  Thank you for joining us. We look forward to seeing you all soon.

  Mr Duke and the team.

   

• Young Voices

  Tue 16 Jan 2018 Mr Duke

  What a fantastic evening we had at Sheffield Arena as children from Clover and Fig took part in Young Voices 2018. After an afternoon of rehearsals, the concert got underway at 7pm and our choir were ready. Two hours of incredible singing and dancing followed as over 5200 children performed beautifully to the supporting audience of 2000 parents and carers.

  The pleasure from hearing so many children sing so wonderfully together cannot truly be put into words.

  Our children were a credit to both the school and their parents.

  Please look at our Twitter feed to see photographs and film from the event.
