• Year 6 Body Language

  Tue 10 Mar 2020

  On the 10th March Year 6 were involved in the SDCC dance performance Body Language.  Along with other local schools we choreographed a dance based on this years theme 'Vision 2020'.  Following on from our Autumn term learning, themed around 'How can I change the World?, we choreographed a routine based on young people who are changing the world.  We highlighted the issues of climate change, plastic pollution and education for all, whilst recognising influential young people such as Greta Thunberg.  Dancing to the music of Kidz, by Take That the children put together a really moving and inspirational piece.  They should be incredibly proud of their fantastic performances.  Well done Year 6.

   

  

• National League Trust Cup News

  Fri 06 Mar 2020 Mr Fuller

  On Tuesday 25^th February 2020, Blackpool C of E Primary School’s Under 11 boys football team travelled up to Bath to play in the regional rounds of the National League Trust Cup. This was the second round of the competition after the team had previously won the local tournament held in Paignton in November. Having travelled up in the school minibus and with a travelling support of parents, the team arrived excited about testing themselves against the best teams from around the South West. Throughout the day, Blackpool played against teams from Eastleigh, Bath, Yeovil, Weymouth, Oxford and Hereford to decide who would make it to the final at the end of the day. In snow, hail and rain, the team continued to play their way against the conditions to win enough games to play in the final against Hereford. The final ended 1-1 with a last-minute equaliser from Blackpool. However in the resulting penalty shoot-out, Hereford won 3-2 which meant that they went through to the semi-finals held in London. Blackpool therefore ended up runners-up but held their heads high having performed incredibly well to compete with the very best primary school teams in the country. Whilst the team did not win this competition, since starting playing together at Under 8s, Blackpool have won numerous medals and trophies to show their local and regional success. Well done boys for being the second best team in the whole of the South West!
