Neston tag rugby team win silver at Level 2 competition!
Hearty congratulations to the Y5/6 tag rugby team who competed against the other schools in our cluster in a tournament that took place after school on the 16th and 23rd of March. We had a mix of newcomers to the sport and some club players who all came together as a team. Special mention to Sam Jones for making an extra effort to give less experienced players as many opportunities as possible to improve their game. Well done too to co-captains Ned and Tom who organised the team and included themselves in the subs rota. You all did Neston proud with your sportspersonship and efforts to play your best.

Neston Hockey team comes 3rd at Level 2 play offs in Devizes!
Here's what their coach, Mrs Stansfield had to say: We played 4 games with Lauren scoring both of our goals and came second in our group. We then played off for third place against St Marys and drew 0-0, which put us in joint 3rd overall. The children really pulled together as a team and showed huge amounts of resilience and determination - especially in the match against Christian Malford when they came back from 1-0 down. They also encouraged and supported each other throughout the tournament. Real Neston Promise stuff! Ben and Kate each played 2 games in goal and Martha played one in goal. I was very proud of the whole team!
A huge well done to the team and their committed coach!

Magnificent Neston Hockey Team win Level 2 cluster festival!
A super well done to our Y5/6 hockey team whose dedication in training over the past few weeks with Mrs Stansfield has done them all proud. They're the first Neston hockey team to win our cluster event since 2011! A big thank you to skillful Mrs Stansfield who will continue to coach the team in preparation for the Level 3 event that they've now qualified for. The team is a mix of experienced players who play for Corsham and absolute newcomers to the sport. We are all especially pleased that, just like last year, some of the newcomers to our school team have caught the hockey bug and are now looking into joining the Corsham hockey club too.

FONS Christmas Disco - Thurs 8th Dec
FONS Christmas Disco will be taking place on Thursday 8th December and we are again running a split evening following the success of last year's new format. This year we have planned in a 15 minute turnaround time to allow the younger children to vacate the hall and the older children to arrive.
4:30 till 5:00 - KS1 disco (children of Willow, Oak & Silver Birch)
5:15 till 6:00 - KS2 disco (children of Hazel, Chestnut, Maple & Beach)
Parents are expected to stay throughout the disco and we will be selling mulled wine for £1 and tea, coffee and cakes for 50p. Children can also purchase cakes and we will provide them with free squash. We would greatly appreciate any cake donations and need them to be left in classes on the morning of the 8th. If you have children across both age groups, we have a designated classroom for them to watch a DVD, whilst their siblings are enjoying the disco!
£1 entry on the door - please enter via the glazed link and leave via Hazel class. We will be signing the children in and out to ensure we keep them safe.
Many thanks,
FONS

Sleeping Beauty at Neston
Last Tuesday, the children experienced a fantastic performance of 'Sleeping Beauty' delivered by M and M Theatrical Productions. They transformed our hall into a theatre giving our children a fantastic spectacle.
The hour and 10 minute production delighted our small audience and our children’s faces were a real treat as we revealed this special surprise. I think Mr Howe and Miss Patrick were also surprised as they 'enjoyed' a starring role as dancers. The request for them to come up on to the stage was a little unexpected and certainly unrehearsed!
