		<description><![CDATA[An update from Mrs Lawn...7th February 2020

There have been a fw sports events this half term-&nbsp;Year 3 have been playing&nbsp;rugby, and Years 2 and 5 have been on the football pitch, girls and boys&nbsp;-&nbsp;and the children who have taken part have been great ambassadors for the school.&nbsp;

Alice J-C, Heather Class,&nbsp;one of the Year 2 footballers, reported back:&nbsp;


&quot;A group of 7 girls went with 3 teachers. We went to Chessington School to play football with 8 other schools from Kingston. We worked really well as a team with everyone happy to have a go at everything letting each other have a turn. It was really fun. We were really happy that Grand Avenue got &quot;Team of the Festival&quot; - we know we tried really hard.&quot;&nbsp; 


The teachers who took them praised the enthusiastic approach that the girls showed at the festival.

Year 5 boys were at Chessington School for the Borough Qualifiers.


&quot;On Tuesday, 7 boys from Year 5 took part in a football tournament between local schools. The boys played 7 matches. They won 3 matches&nbsp;and lost 4. The&nbsp;boys played very well and soon decided to pass using the ball, as we were not allowed to kick over head height - we scored 9 goals in total.&quot;&nbsp; 


- by Jacob, Ash Class&nbsp;

Well done, boys - it was commented on the team work and support you gave each other.

Year 6 footballers have continued through to the Quarter Finals in both the girls and the boys District Cup&nbsp;competitions, with the next round&nbsp;being played&nbsp;just before the half term break.

Spring term 2 sees hockey, more football, and basketball taking to the stage - with lots more opportunities for children to participate and represent the school. Please remind them to look out for when the trials will be taking place.

A few half term activities on offer - London Scottish have a multi-sport&nbsp;half term camp, there is tennis for the family, and Basketball continues on Saturday mornings at The Kingston Academy, run by Spartans, our after-school provider. In addition, there is a new football&nbsp;opportunity for boys in&nbsp;Years 3 and 4. All details for these are in the Community Section of the website.

Finally, I am in talks with a couple of football clubs to provide additional specialist coaching, specifically for girls. One of these, Chelsea Women FC, have agreed to provide 4 free tickets to each of their home games at Kingsmeadow Stadium. If you would like to be offered these tickets, on a rota basis, please can you let the office know. As the tickets come in, you will be contacted and&nbsp;they will be available to collect.&nbsp;

More sports as and when they happen......
