Throughout Term 4, Nick has been teaching cricket to the Year 4s on a Friday afternoon. Nick works for a charity called ‘ Chance to Shine’ which promotes cricket from a young age. On the last day of Term 4 we had an competition between the two year 4 classes . Team ‘Geoffrey Boycott’ were the champions and Nick presented the team with a trophy. This can be admired in our ever growing trophy cabinet in the front entrance of the school.

On Thursday 24th January, 6 children from Year 4 and 5 took part in a Dance Festival with 9 other schools at Wantage Leisure Centre. We had a fantastic day learning some dance moves and choreographing our own section of the dance with the help of some King Alfred’s students, before performing it to the other schools. It was based on the Greatest Showman and our part of the dance represented the lions – the photo shows our end pose as us being fierce lions! We had a great day and the children represented Charlton with excellent behaviour, great enthusiasm and a willingness to have a go at something new. Well done to Edward, Alfie, Alex, James, Patrick and Josh.
On 24th May we took a team of Year 5 and 6 athletes to represent Charlton at King Alfred’s West Site . The children competed in 4 events: 600m, Vortex throw , standing long jump and a 80m sprint.
