The B team played their last fixture of the Autumn term away to Bernards Heath on a very muddy pitch which was challenging for both teams.

Determined to avenge their previous defeat, the team made a very positive start with an early goal from Xander. Unfortunately, they weren't able to capitalise on a number of chances before the tide turned and Prae Wood found themselves under attack from Bernards Heath. Goalkeeper, Otto, was called into action on numerous actions, pulling off some fantastic saves which earnt him Player of the Match. The final score was 4-1 to Bernards Heath.

Overall, it has been a positive start to their league campaign with two wins, two losses and a draw. The team will play a further three fixtures during the Spring term.

It was back to winning ways for the netball team as they played away to How Wood this week.

The team built on their score each quarter and only allowed one goal from their opponents in the last quarter. The final score was 6-1 to Prae Wood with Harry, once again, chosen as our Most Valuable Player by our opponents.

The team's last match in their Autumn local league takes place at Prae Wood next Thursday against St Adrians.

On Friday 7th November Year 2 took part in a STEMPOINT science workshop as part of their Materials topic. The aim of the session was to investigate the questions:

What are things made from?
Why is one material better for a job than another material?
How do we decide which material to use?

In pairs the children carried out a number of practical activities testing a range of objects and their properties, finding the best material for a little pig’s raincoat and how to apply a waterproof layer using wax. Everyone had a fantastic time and particularly loved the magic of waterproofing their name.

Both the boys and girls had their most successful team performances at last week's cross country hosted by Wheatfields Junior School. This was the last fixture before the winter break.

The boys raced first over the three lap course which offered undulations and a downhill run into the finish funnel. Taylan was home first for Prae Wood in 15^th place followed by Theo in 17th, debutant, Zach, in 19th, Phil in 26^th and Otto in 52^nd place. Overall, the boys finished 4^th in the team standings.

In the girls race, Hannah had a storming run, finishing in 6^th position. Not only was Hannah thrilled by her own performance, but it was great to see the delight it gave her teammates. Victoria finished in 19^th with Jess in 34^th and Autumn in 36^th place (despite her injured foot). Like the boys, this earnt the girls their highest team placing so far in 5^th position overall.

The series resumes after February half term with race 4 at Mandeville.

Today Year 2 have been taken back in time to 1666 and the Great Fire of London. Everyone looked fantastic in their costumes. They took part in sewing, making clay button pots, poem writing, painting, creating a picture on the laptops, writing short hand like Samuel Pepys using a quill and ink, amongst other things. It was a really busy and exciting day!
