Ms McMenemy had another team of girls from the Girls’ Football Squad away to the Fernhill Complex this week to compete against other schools.
They played against St Columbkille’s, St Charles and Burnside and came out on top.
A number of girls were making their debuts. The team consisted of Heather Jackson, Olivia McFarlane, Amber Dorans, Carys McLynn, Lauren Gorman, Abbie Dunnet, Megan Muir, Jasmine Sattar, Antonia Kenna & Emma Waugh.
Have a good break everyone.
Mr B
Just to clarify that Martial Arts Fitness Club for P4 starts tomorrow Wednesday 10th October. The letter had a typo and was perhaps a little confusing!!!! But as per the original letter Martial Arts is a Wednesday club.
Apologies for any confusion.
Ok, time to bring back the blog reward (to keep you checking back here!).
If anyone doesn’t remember, I’ll post a secret word or question on my blog and the first person to post the answer as a comment on this blog post, will win. This time, the prize is a bonus point towards the star class award and that chance for your class to get their hands on the Fair Trade Tuckshop!
(Remember, when you post your answer it doesn’t appear straight away, only when I approve it. Comments come to me in the order they were posted so I know who is first, but just because there is no comment there doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be first. Remember to make it clear who you are and what class you are in. Have a go, you never know!)
You’ll find the answer to today’s question somewhere on the blog: What was the score when Hallside Hawks played the Burgh Braves this week?
As promised at assembly today, here are details of the football game I was telling you about.
UEFA Women’s Championships 2011 – 2013
Scotland v Spain European Championship Play-off
Saturday 20 October 2012
Hampden Park, Glasgow
Kick-off 14.00 hrs.
**FREE ENTRY**
Scotland’s Women’s team have qualified for one of the play-off matches and are in contention to qualify for the UEFA Women’s Finals in Sweden 2013.
Entry to the match will be FREE at the turnstiles, there will also be many activities organised around the game on the day. This will be the first time the Women’s national team have played at Hampden Park.
After the tension and hard work of the team trials, today the Athletics Team travelled to their first Indoor Athletics Festival.
They did, as always, conduct themselves in the Hallside way, competing fairly but to the best of their ability and did superbly well. With 13 other schools there and 24 different events, they managed to secure 2nd place in 3 of them and won each of their other races. A superb start. Well done.
Well done to the P5 Rugby teams who performed brilliantly to secure 5th and 6th places out of 16 teams at the recent rugby tournament.
While there, they all met Clyde, the Glasgow Commonwealth 2014 mascot.
Both teams started by playing 3 games in groups of four.
The Hawks defeated St Charles Galaxy 5-1, before losing 4-1 to Killies Killer Bees. They secured 2nd spot in the group with a 6-2 win over the Calderwood Cats.
The Hurricanes controversially lost their opening match 6-3 to St Brides before battling out a 1-1 draw with the St Cadoc’s Warriors. This meant they had to beat James Aiton Jaguars to qualify in 2nd place from the group. They did this with a 6-2 victory.
Both teams then progressed to the semi finals of the 2nd place play offs. The Hurricanes defeated the James Aiton Aces 4-1 and the Hawks recorded a 6-2 win over the Burgh Braves.
This meant that they had to face each other in the 2nd Place Play Off Final. In a brilliant game the Hawks were victorious to secure 5th place overall, with the Hurricanes taking the 6th spot. Every player received a lovely medal and had a great time (in the sunshine – remarkable!).
Well done.
The P5 teachers have chosen their representatives for the Rugby Festival that takes place tomorrow at Fernhill Community Centre.
The pupils have had some coaching from the rugby coach, Grant, who has been coming into school to work with all of the P5s and P4s.
We will have two teams involved and we wish them the best of luck. Check back here for the results.
The two teams will be:
Hallside Hurricanes Hallside Hawks
Amy Stewart Lauren Thompson
William Govan Kian Dakin
Morgan Muir Max Parkes
David Harvey Jamie Park
Lee Ellis Mea Carson Dyet
