Bredhurst Church of England Primary School

 Yesterday our Table Tennis Team entered the MYG Tournament with another 35 schools at Medway Park. The standard of table tennis amazed our players - Morgan, Lily Rose, Felicity, Marcell, Toby and Kairo.

Every child played to their best ability playing 3 sets to each match. During the Tournament every child won at least two complete matches, unfortunately we lost more than we won, which caused some disappointment and frustration to a couple of team members. We must remember that sportsmanship is very important, without that and respect for others a team cannot build strength and the ‘spirit of Bredhurst’ is lost.

Last Friday 30.1.26 Our Netball Team went to South Borough Primary School for their first Netball Match in the Community League. Our team looked worried when they saw the opposition as they looked very tall and skilful. The match started and all the teams worries dropped as they played their own game of quick movement around the court. feeding the ball to our goal scorers. Unfortunately, the nets were a lot higher that the ones we have at school and proved a problem reaching them. The team persevered and after many shots they started to go in. the end result was South Borough 3 Bredhurst 5 - Brilliant result well done to the team -  Mia, Millie, Morgan, Arabella, Erin, Kairo, Freddie, Marcell and Lennie.

Our UKS2 Football Team entered the Utilita Kids Cup along with 12 other teams across Medway.

The first match was against Bligh School and we won 3-0 which boosted their confidence of the team. The standard of football was very high keeping our team very focused in attacking and defending. Thomas pulled of some brilliant saves.  We won a further three games and drew two, which put us through to the semi finals which we won and then the final against Loose. The whole team played very well and proved to be the winners of the tournament. Well done to Kairo, Marcell, Freddie, Felicity, Jude, Harper, Toby, Tate and Thomas. The Team will now go to Swindon in March for Reginal Finals.

On Wednesday, Hurstwood class went up to the church to learn about Candlemass.

We learnt that the Christmas period is called Candlemass and lasts until 2nd February. We made Christingles. We got an orange that represents the world and then put a red ribbon round it which is for Jesus' blood. Then we got 4 sticks which represent the four seasons and then put sweets on the sticks, these stand for all the good things that we have. We put a candle in the middle and we lit it to spread the light around the world.
We were given biscuits to eat and then we returned to school.
