HARTLEY CUP: CTK WIN IN GROUP STAGE
A fantastic performance in the Hartley Cup group stage at Hameldon on Thursday saw CTK secure a 4-1 victory over St Leonard's. A new formation was rolled out and players were asked to perform in different roles, which they executed superbly. The forward play and intricate passing enabled the reds to create plenty of chances in front of goal, but some heroic defending and sublime goalkeeping from the opposition limited the first half tally. Rafferty gets a special mention for scoring all four of the goals, in an exemplary performance across the midfield. On to the next big game versus St mary's. Well done to all the players!

DANCE SESSIONS BRING CHEER TO KS2!
The sound of music has echoed out through the hall this term as some of our KS2 classes are well underway in their PE dance unit. Sandersons dance company have been in school delivering 'Street Dance' sessions to Year 4,5 & 6. Here's what Sandersons say about the dance form;
'Street Dance is one of our most popular dance classes for children! This energetic form of dance developed outside the studio and has grown to be one of the biggest dance styles in the world. We teach authentic Street Dance in our classes with a variety of the Street foundation styles including Hip Hop, Locking, House and Breaking as well as Commercial & popular choreography to suit the age of each class. This style is great fun and helps dancers become more creative and confident. A great style for beginners to start with and lots of opportunities to become more involved in our successful department for those wanting to progress further'.
Keep an eye out on the PE latest news section of the website for photos of the sessions.
If your child is involved in the sessions or is yet to sample the sessions through school, we encourage you to visit their website and find out all you need to know about the discipline and hopefully your child will be motivated to go and try out a new hobby!

MATCH REPORT: JOHNSON TROPHY!
Friday 25th February 2022
Our boys in the 5&6 football team got underway in the Johnson Trophy tournament this week, in a tightly fought encounter with Holy Trinity. The game was played in a competitive but fair manner with both teams displaying excellent sporting behaviour and respect towards each other.
After an initially calm start, with both teams adjusting to the cold conditions , the team found a comfortable shape and played some super football, at times showing confidence in their two touch passing. Midway through the first half midfielder Jack latched onto the end of an impressive move, with CTK stringing two or three quick sharp passes together to find Jack, who beat his defender to finish from a tight angle.
In the second half CTK grew in confidence, and put the pressure on Holy Trinity, who dealt with the pressure through some excellent defending. As CTK looked to double their lead, Holy Trinity always looked dangerous on the counter attack, and some calm goalkeeping from Sam kept out the threat. CTK did find a second goal midway through the half when Cooper provided a brilliant lobbed ball into the danger area from a corner kick, and Billy Johnson reacted quickest to knock the ball home after the scrambling Holy Trinity goalkeeper couldn't keep the ball out. Both teams were impressive in the cold conditions and were a credit to their schools and the competition. Thanks and good luck to Holy Trinity in their remaining group games, and well done CTK!
ATHLETES IN ACTION!
Monday 7th February 2022
Our athletes took part in their first event of the season last Thursday at the Spirit of Sport Centre, Blessed Trinity.

Javelin thrower Evie and chest push star Isabelle were particularly impressive for team CTK, whilst the relay runners and sprinters did a great job for team CTK. A huge well done to the squad!

Using counter tension and balance skills, they worked together to create a sequence which involved travel, matching shapes and co-ordination skills. The children will now look to further progress their skills over the next 5 weeks, with further sessions for KS2 to watch out for over the school year. Great job year 6!
