Our block of cricket, at the Wednesday Evening fixtures, has now come to an end, concluding the 2018/19 Wednesday Evening fixtures and Sporting Influences competitions for the academic year. What a fantastic block it has been. The children have learned skills as the professionals would and then they have applied them in competitive match situations against other schools. The final plea from Mr Doey last night was that the children who attended and are interested, please find a local cricket club and play cricket. There was so much skill on show it would put the World Cup to shame; diving stops, sliding, one handed catching, off stump bowling and some clean hitting. We have done the hard work for you. Take a look below at local cricket clubs and their respective websites for you to get in contact!

It is the greatest part of the year! When the sun shines (sometimes) and the reserve day is brought into action, it's SPORTS DAY! We have ran and assisted at a lot of sports days throughout our time, and there is no change to that this year, BiltonKirkby OverblowGoldsboroughWesternBramhope but to name a few. The thing we really love about sports days is seeing all the skills that have been developed and refined throughout the year being put into practice in a competitive setting. Well done to all the children throughout all the schools in which we have worked this year and an extra well done to those who we have seen competing at sports days. You are all a real credit!

After some early rain the weather turned to leave a warm and bright afternoon. Five Schools turned up to compete against each other and pit their skills against other schools. SpofforthFollifootBramhopeNew ParkHighfield The standard of cricket was fantastic with some unbelievable shots (I imagine learnt watching the cricket World Cup). In addition to the batting, the bowling was again of high standard, at some points being too quick for a wicket keeper and back stop! By far the most impressive part of the evening was the fielding, personally I have been involved in cricket for over 20 years and I can honestly say, I have never seen a better collection of catches, dives and throwing in all that time! It is important to remember that cricket is a game built around three disciplines: batting, bowling & fielding. After a brilliant evening we spoke to the children about their tactics and how best to approach the game. Some fantastic answers and brilliant feedback from all. The competition isn't on next week but will conclude the week after! Well done to all involved, a thoroughly brilliant night! Mr Doey

Remember the good old days, when a crash mat half an inch thick would stop you from breaking your neck as you fell off the climbing frame. The burn of the rope as you had managed to get to the top and your fear of heights meant you had no alternative but to release your grip and rope burn all the way back down... Well, Hookstone Chase CP School were at it in style and I must say there were no broken necks or rope burnt hands. The children were given the challenge of exploring the equipment that had been put out, how they could move on the equipment, what they could perform on the equipment and how they could develop themselves and each other on different pieces of apparatus. The reason behind this, as well as the thoroughly horrible weather, was to let the children develop their own skills, work things out for themselves and be proud of what they were able to put together, learn or teach to others. All in a fun and SAFE (emphasis on safe) environment. We are all about ensuring safety, but we are also big believers of the children being able to risk assess themselves.

In a secret bunker, in a secret town, in a secret city, on an island 100 miles from the nearest land, Sporting Influence held a meeting about their up and coming Summer Camp. Fortunately for all of you, the strong winds at Leeds Bradford airport on their return, blew a page from the meeting into the hands of an unsuspecting bystander. Even those that don't care are a little nosey... so take a look below! So what can we take from this meeting? A Sporting Influence member of staff is a good doodlerThey are looking to revamp their Whacky Water WednesdayMr Doey clearly cannot singThey have some big ideas for amazing activities this summerSporting Influence could do with investing in stronger paperclips so maybe next time top secret notes don't land in the hands of the public! Watch this space folks, Sporting Influence are going BIG this summer! Apparently if you want to book onto a Sporting Influence Activity Camp you have to click the button below. (Don't ask me, I'm just the messenger.) I'm the button to book!
