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.
Neston swim team comes second in gala!
A big well done to Ellen, Imogen, Zoe, Katherine, Ben, Milo, Finn and Lauren for some super swimming and for giving 100%! Special mention to Lauren who swam in the boys' races!
Fair play trophy for Neston football team!
Congratulations to co-captains Kate and Ben and their super squad of Zoe, Isabelle, James, Lily, Lenny, Tom, Leo, Ned, Will and Evie for taking part with terrific team spirit in the Level 3 matches at Corsham School.
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!

More School Games action for Neston - this time netball!
The Y5/6 netball squad took part in 5 Level 2 matches over two afternoons at Corsham Comp (which were officiated by two 6th formers who played for Neston when they were in Year 6!). Martha and Rosie took on the role of captain along with the decisions of who would play in which position. They and the squad (Zoe, Katherine, Kate, Ellen, Ben, Barney and Finn) got stronger and stronger as the tournament progressed. They worked on their passing and marking and won 3 games out of the 5. Special mention goes to our goal scorers Zoe and Ben for their composure and to Martha who was one of the 3 pupils out of all the schools taking part to be commended by Mrs Long (the SGO) for her defensive skills!
Neston Girls Cricket team comes second in competition!
Our girls team, ably managed by Captains Katherine and Kate, took part in a tournament on 3.10.16. We achieved the main aims of the event which were to have fun and to increase our cricketing skills and it was the icing on the cake to come second - only missing out on first place by 5 points (one out). We're looking forward to more competition in Terms 5 and 6!
