On June 15th, the whole school took part in Sports Day. The children started the afternoon by demonstrating The Gleddings’ annual dance choreographed by Mrs McHugh and Miss Angela. The weather was kind to us and everyone enjoyed the fun races.  Even the parents and younger siblings had a chance to compete.

At the end of the afternoon the parents joined their children for a repeat of the dance on the all weather pitch before enjoying well deserved ice lollies, cakes and drinks.

Middle IV has been studying different styles of dance during their P.E lessons. They started with a Tudor dance and then experienced a Flamenco dance. We moved on to hip hop street dancing, where the boys in particular showed great promise and flair. This unit of dance was finished with the very popular disco dancing.

The Colour team football tournament 2010

On Wednesday 24^th March Form III & Lower IV, Middle IV & Upper IV netball teams played a match against Hipperholme and Lightcliffe Preparatory School. Our younger netball players won by 3 goals to 1.  Our Upper IV and Middle IV netball team had a very exciting match: at 6-6, with only five seconds left, Hipperholme and Lightcliffe scored, meaning we lost by 7 goals to 6.

Congratulations to all players on such a high standard of netball.

On Friday 11^th December the upper school took part in a colour team netball tournament. After some very exciting matches, the Green Team were the overall winners.

Congratulations to all children who took part, as the games were of a very high standard this year.

During the week of October 5^th all children took part in a sponsored run to raise money for the building of Crossley Heath’s sports hall.

Every child ran with such amazing speed and stamina. They had twenty minutes to run as many laps as possible around the football field. Upper IV boys managed to run the most laps but were closely followed by Middle IV boys.

At present we have raised £1.138.45! Thank you very much for your enormous generosity.
