The Y6 football team won 4-0 at home to Parson Cross on Friday the 18th of June. They played excellently and could easily have won by a wider margin. With the World cup in mind, both teams then took part in a penalty shoot out with Oughtibridge again coming out on top.
The first Y6 Bikeability course is on 8th and 9th July with the second course being on 15th and 16th July. All attendees have had individual letters confirming their attendance. A course booklet will be sent home on Monday 5th July and this needs to have been read before the course starts.
