We have launched our first ever Christmas writing competition. Infant pupils can enter by drawing a Christmas picture and labelling it OR write a short Christmas story (up to 300 words). Junior pupils are being challenged to write a short story (up to 500 words). Entries need to be brought in by Friday 12th December. The School Council will be judging the entries.

Our U11 Boys’ football team braved the wet and windy weather this afternoon in a mini tournament at Long Lane Primary. They battled hard but lost 3 games and drew one which unfortunately means they don’t go through to the next stage. Great effort boys!

Congratulations to the girls on making the ESFA finals! The team had an amazing afternoon of football, involving 6 schools. Up against some tough competition, in the pouring rain and muddy conditions, Parsons Down lost 1 game, drew 2 games and won 2 games, coming in third overall in the District, a fantastic achievement! Thank you to the parents for your support.

Sporting fixtures are continuing at pace. This week it was the turn of U11 Boys. Two tough afternoons and we’re really proud of all of the children that took part. They have faced some significant challenges in recent matches but their perseverance paid off yesterday afternoon. Well done boys!

The U11 girls were back in action tonight, away match at Westende, Wokingham. The opposition battled hard , a tough match which could have gone either way, but it was Parsons Down who came away with an impressive 5-0 win. Go Girls!!!! Thank you to parents for your support and for travelling the distance.

Sporting fixtures are continuing at pace. This week it was the turn of U9 Boys. We were only expecting to play one game and an additional match did come as a surprise! We are so proud of this group of boys. They battled hard, played their hearts out and grew as a team as each game went on. Unfortunately, they lost both matches but they should be very proud of rising to Wednesday afternoon’s challenge.

We had a last-minute football fixture for our U11 girls on Thursday 6th November. They took on a very strong side from the Coombes Primary School in Arborfield. They battled hard, didn’t give up and showed an enormous amount of resilience. The final score was 4-0 to Coombes. Well done girls!

Last Saturday, a team of Year 1 and 2 pupils took part in a football tournament organised by Thatcham Tornadoes. I am so proud of all of them. They played brilliantly and considering they haven’t played together as a team they did a magnificent job. We clearly have some very talented footballers. Well done to everyone who took part and thank you to everyone who supported them.

On Wednesday our U11 Boys’ football team had a strong start to the season. What an afternoon, the boys played their hearts out and were amazing! Some of the best football Mrs Hoskins has seen and against some very strong opposition. We came second in our group behind Spurcroft having only conceded 1 goal the whole afternoon. Top team from the group go through, best goal different second place across the leagues go through so we will need to wait and see!
