On Monday 23rd we played a 7-a-side hockey match against Bampton Primary School at Carterton Community College 3G pitches. My goodness, it was an exciting match!!

In the first few minutes, Bampton scored a goal against us - and another 2 followed shortly afterwards. Despite being 3-0 down, Brize continued to battle on with some excellent clearances from Oliver and Freddie. Often, we would battle for the ball in the midfield, get the ball and take it up the field - only for it to be cleared again! But, we didn’t give up - even when we had another goal scored against us!! Finally, in the dying minutes Theo came on as Brize were moving forward, and popped the ball in the back of the net! In the second half, Brize were on the attack. Issy, Kate and Daisy worked tirelessly in the midfield, winning the ball and moving it out. Soon, our next goal came from Jai after an amazing run from the halfway line. Then, we were awarded a short corner and Fin managed to hit the back of the net. Now we were back in the match…but let our guard down and Bampton scored again. Nevertheless, Brize pulled together and Jai scored again - just as the whistle for the end of the match came.

After a quick chat, some water and homemade rocky road (thanks Mrs Shipway), the children went back on the pitch to play sudden death. Brize got stuck in straight away and Jai scored his 3rd goal after a couple of minutes!

It was a very closely fought, nail biting match. Well done to all of the children from both schools!

Thanks also to Rachel Mills for organising the match, pitch and JSLA’s to umpire.

On Wednesday 22nd October we took along a squad of 10 children to an U9 5-a-side football tournament.

The children were all VERY excited as, for some, it was there first time at representing the school. Well, hats off to them, they were fab. They had never played as a team before but they soon got the hang of it. All of the children made some fantastic tackles and many of them had a really good run at the opposition's goal.

In the first match, Freddie and Toby made numerous attempts on goal until - finally - the ball hit the back of the net. In the meantime, at the other end of the pitch, our amazing goalkeeper - Shivam - was forced to make save after save (well done!).

For many of the girls, this was their first ever football match - but you would never have known it; they defended, tackled, made runs down the line and generally got stuck in. As for Kate, well her determination almost paid off in the final game when she won the ball from a tackle, dribbled the ball up the pitch and had a shot on goal; the keeper was lucky to save it. However, he wasn't as lucky when Theo won the ball in defence, sprinted up the pitch and popped the ball in the back of the net!

Ok, so we didn't win - but the kids were great and did the school proud; well done

On Thursday 25th September we took 15 year 3 and 4 children to Carterton Community College for the annual cross country competition.

As usual, the competition was strong with at least 80 children in each race aiming to cross the finish line first.

All of our boys and girls made us proud as they completed their respective races running - with a smile on their face!

As a result the girls under 9 team have been selected for the Oxfordshire School Games to be held next April.

Well done to all of you!!

	CENTENARY OF WW1		7 NOVEMBER 2014

	On 7th November the school took a major role in the Brize Norton village commemoration of the First World War. The first part of the ceremony took place in the Elderbank Hall, where instead of planting crosses by the 18 Lombardy poplar trees on the recreation ground, the children placed their crosses indoors and the older children explained the letters they had written to each of the 18 fallen which they had attached to the trees, and three of the letters were read out. The children were very much part of the celebration. Pictures of the event can be found in a powerpoint show here. The letters themselves can be found in Chapter 9 of Dr Phil Holmes' book which is available on the web here
