This term has seen our range of clubs continue, with nature, strategy, art and multiskills on offer for EYFS and KS1 children. The children have learnt how to play games strategically and have created their own games to play with their friends. They have also learnt about different animals and plants in nature club and how to look after them.

At KS2, children have cooked foods from around the world, created different images using hama beads and developed their teamwork and ball control skills in basketball and football. The children enjoyed cooking spaghetti and meatballs, as well as knowing that the dish is a well balanced and nutritious meal.

Boys Football

In September, ten boys left Dartford Primary excited to be taking part in a local football tournament. We arrived at Dartford Football Club full of optimism. Our first game was against the favourites for the group but we went for it from the very first whistle and scored a quick goal. It looked like our solid defending would give us a victory until one of their players scored a curling effort from outside the box into the top corner. This draw set us up well for the next three matches, but three more draws meant that we had to 'go for the win' in our last game to stand a chance of finishing in the top 3. A valiant effort saw us lose to the eventual winners, but the boys can be very proud of the way they represented our school.

Girls football

In September, the girls competed against other primary schools in the local football event. We played 3 games, including against last year's champions. Our first game resulted in a 3-3 draw with Ankita scoring a goal and Ellie scoring two. The other two matches both left us 2-0 down, however the girls played incredibly well as a team, encouraging and communicating to each other both on and off the pitch.
