Kwik Cricket

Just a quick note for your diaries - if we finish in the top two of the Kwik Cricket final on Monday then we will progress to another round. We will take part in the West Yorkshire final which will be played on Tuesday 26th June 2012. The venue is yet to be confirmed and I only received notification about this last night!! I have also been informed that the venue we are playing at on Monday will have 3G pitches and there is plenty of shelter so should the weather be bad we will still be able to play the tournament!

LEEDS KWIK CRICKET FINAL 2012

Fantastic news!! The Methley Cricket Team has made it into the Leeds City Finals which will take place on Monday 18th June at the University of Leeds. This is a massive achievement by everybody that has attended the cricket club not just this year but last year as well. Everybody who has been selected to play for school should be very proud and those who have been chosen to play in the final will be coming home with a letter with all the details tonight! For those who haven't made the team for the final we are hoping to arrange another tournament with the Brigshaw family of schools which will take place before the end of the summer term! I am sure you will wish the team lots of luck for Monday! Fingers crossed!!

Cross Country Super Stars

Just a quick note about the amazing performance of the Methley team at Woodlesford on Friday night. A huge number of children, proud parents and staff were there to support the participants in a brilliant night of cross country running.

Firstly the boys team, made up of Liam, Leon, Owen, Jack and Daniel put together a set of amazing times and places. The stand out performance coming from Liam Birrell who won the boys event with Daniel Easton and Owen also finishing inside the top 10!! These places added together meant that the boys finished in second place overall. Well done boys!!

The girls team, made up of Grace & Hannah Plater, Ella and Emily were able to go one better! Grace Plater, following on from finishing second in last years race, managed to win the girls event and the rest of the team placed in the top 10! This meant that for the first time Methley won the girls comp!! Absolutely brilliant effort ladies!

As well as these two successes there were many other children from school who took part in the all comers race and ran excellently and represented school fantastically well. Thank you to all the parents that attended and helped the children. Let's hope next year we can do equally as well!!

A big well done to the athletics team who took part in this event of Tuesday night. Unfortunately the team came in 3rd and so will not progress any further however they should be very proud of their achievements as this is the furthest Methley has got in this competition in a very, very long time!! Mrs Reynard was very proud of the efforts and mentioned that their sportsmanship was fantastic. A huge thank you to all the parents that have helped transport the children to the various events and again a massive well done to the team members listed below!

Girls Football Club

Following the success that our girls had at the recent Futsal tournament lots of people have asked if I will run an after school club for them. At the moment I am thinking of the club starting after half term and taking place on a Thursday night. In order for the club to be successful I need at least 10 girls to sign up who are committed to attending every week. If you would like to be part of the club add a comment to this post with your name and class. If we have enough people then I will send letters out in the next couple of weeks to let you know more details!

Thankyou

Mr Smith

Draw for Sportshall Athletics finals

This morning saw Methley drawn in the first semi final of the Indoor Athletics event next week. The team will be competing against schools including Horsforth, Lower Wortley, Westerton and an as yet unnamed school from the North of Leeds. The children will be competing at Boston Spa, next TUESDAY 24th JANUARY and will need to be at the venue for 2:45pm for a 3:00pm prompt start. Your child will be bringing home more information in the next couple of days if they have been selected to take part and this will outline the arrangements for children getting to the venue on time and leaving school early.

Good Luck Guys!!!

Sporting Successes for Methley!!

Monday night saw another night of sporting success for MPS as both the Key Stage 1 multi skills team and Key Stage 2 athletics club took part in competitions.

At Brigshaw, the Multiskills team made up of Daniel McCourt, Alex Cree, Matthew Bridge, Sam Gilbert, Poppy Huntridge, Erin Hosty, Ashley Bhebhe, Elise Westmoreland, Ella Dodsworth and Bailey Warburton took part in a series of events against other schools from the Brigshaw trust. Supported by very vocal parents and staff the team performed fantastically in the speed bounce, sprint shuttle, basketball bounce, bean bag target throw, mini hurdles, standing long jump and distance throw and should be very proud of their second place finish! A massive thank you to all the parents for making sure that the children were transported to and from Brigshaw also to Miss Bellido, Miss Gott and Mrs Westermann for their fantastic support!

Elsewhere the Key Stage 2 Athletics club travelled to Boston Spa to take part in the East Leeds indoor athletics final. The squad of 20 athletes including Grace Plater, Hannah Plater, Emily Johnson, Molly Aitchison, Mia Wedlinsky, Ella Cowan, Ella Price, Gabi Scollan, Leon Rymer, Liam Birrell, Tom Foster, Emily Sawdon, Jodi Stanley, Euan Cowan, Matthew Laverick, Oliver Adamson, Carrick Shields, Ben Thompson & Joe Oliver were fantastic and have amazingly qualified for the Leeds City Semi Finals which will take place at Boston Spa next week! Mrs Reynard would like to thank all of the parents who gave up their time to help transport the children to and from the venue and for your vociferous support!!

Well done to all our fantastic athletes and good luck to our Athletics team at next week’s Leeds semi final!
