The 1st XI cricket team played two matches this week, winning both in different styles. On Tuesday against Norton College, strong batting led to a score of 133-6, and although bowling was steady, they won the match. The next day against Moorlands, poor batting led to a low score of 56-9, but tight fielding and bowling resulted in the opponent being bowled out for 43 to secure another victory. Both matches showed the team's improvement over the term.

Fountains Abbey trip for Year 6
On Tuesday year six had a trip to fountains abbey. When they got there they were told a bit about the abbey, then they got robes called habits (picture across) and wore rope belts called girdles. The first thing they saw was a little model of Fountains abbey. Then they went and looked around the ruins of the abbey, which were very busy. The punishment was excellent, but for health and safety we weren’t aloud to pretend to whip each other. Finally they went and looked around the mill then they went back to school.
