Bowled Over!
Year 6 bowled over their opponents in a competition against local schools!
A group of year 6 children entered into a bowling tournament against 24 other teams last week. Showing great teamwork and enthusiasm, the two teams of children participated very well. Both teams participated in three games, with their combined scores added together to give an overall score and a final placement. Team A finished with 286 points, finishing 4th, just 2 points behind 2nd place. Team B finished with 262 points, finishing a respectable 11th. Well done Year 6. What a great event.
