Easter 2008

Thank you to everyone who entered our Easter Competitions.  The standards were so high and it was so difficult to pick the winners.

What a beautiful hat!

Easter chick hats!

Class 5B are delighted to announce that five out of the six eggs eventually hatched on Monday March 17th.  Class 5B were so eggcited!  The classroom became a very popular place to be in the last week of term with pupils and staff wanting to visit the chicks. 

The last sporting event of the term was a Cannock Football League away match against Huntington Primary, Cannock. After the success in the last week of the cross country and netball teams, the footballers were keen to maintain the winning trend. 

It's the first time Churchfield has played this team and we didn't know quite what to expect from the pitch, or the team. On arriving it was clear that the pitch had a considerable slope and so would present its own challenges. Winning the toss we decided to kick up slope thus having the advantage in the second half. Huntington played in blue and had several big lads who looked rather intimidating on the field.

From the kick off Hunitington attempted to score from the centre, with little chance. We gained possession and quickly scored two goals in the first 10 minutes. The team then went into coast mode and didn't challenge for the ball and let the home team back into the match. Two all at half time.

Down the slope! The problem is always that the ball runs away from the players and makes close control difficult. A scrappy first few minutes and then at last Churchfield started to play their usual passing game. Post and cross bars hit! Near misses galore and then the third goal. At last! Going on to score a further two, Churchfield came away with a 5-2 victory. Far from our best performance but a well fought for result. So the boys did maintain the winning streak for Churchfield, taking us into the Easter break in a positive mood for events and matches to follow.

Well played lads!

As usual,  thanks to the parents who offered lifts and support.
