This week has been full of activities as we have kick off the start of our sporting season. From cricket to rounders to skipping to athletics to swimming, our pupils have been busy representing St. Martin’s at a whole host of events.
On Tuesday, our Doyle, Shackleton and Elgar classes represented the school at a cricket tournament, whilst on Wednesday, whilst the whole school took part in the NSPCC Skipathon, some Booth and Doyle boys had a go at scoring some wickets. On Thursday, Booth and Doyle representatives took part in an inter-school athletics tournament whilst on Friday, the Juniors showcased St. Martin’s swimming talent at a swimming Gala.
We are so lucky to have a growing sports culture at St. Martin’s that will continue to blossom with the support of parents, pupils and teachers. At St. Martin’s, we believe sport to be an integral part of the curriculum which not only physically benefits our pupils but offers a whole host of opportunities and advantages.
We are so impressed with our swimmers today at Grimsby Leisure Centre! Third overall with our boys scooping up first place and girls 5th! A big well done to all and thank you to Louise for coaching us to victory!
Potter had a lovely day at Conisbrough despite the rain. We enjoyed dressing up in the style of clothes from 850 years ago and learning about the different jobs at the castle. We then prepared a feast for the visit of Henry II. We toured the keep and found out how Lord Hamelin and Lady Isobel lived all those years ago.
