There was another proud moment for our Netball team this week. They continue to work hard and are great role models when playing against other teams in the School Sports Partnership! We had 6 games to play in our pool and we started off on a winner as all our positions were what our team normally play, but High 5 rules mean every player rotates their position in every game. If we had stayed in the same position for the whole tournament, I think we could have got into the semi-finals! Well done Team RIVERSIDE and a special thanks to Souradrita for representing our School Netball team and we wish her and Sourodeep and the rest of the family well in their travels. Well done to captain Tas, Aisha, Mehnaz, Lucie, Souradrita, Haleema and Ezzah. We had 3 wins and 3 losses – a good result overall.

We played Lowbrook and it really was a close game the boys worked really hard and had a few shots at goal but didn’t manage to hit the target, however Lowbrook did and they won 2-0 against us but I have to say it was a great game to watch and the boys confidence in playing and passing has really improved, well done boys a really good game to watch and very exciting too!
 

Well done to the team!

Juan was nominated Player of the Match, so well done to Juan and well done to you all !

Wow wow wow what an amazing afternoon of netball and an amazing turnout of parents and family supporting our Riverside team!  It was an absolute pleasure to take the children they were impeccably well behaved and made me feel incredibly proud of how they managed to improve in their performance throughout the afternoon.  Well done to Hiba, Connor, Charlotte, Zaina, Layla, Aleena, Reina and Georgia and thank you for making my afternoon so enjoyable.  It was lovely to see some Ex Riverside children from Newlands come over to support our team too.

The results of our matches were as follows, may I add this is a great starting point for year 3 and 4 to step up and work for our Netball team next year, some really promising netball players.... watch this space, this isn't the last you will be hearing from our Year 3 and 4's, well done once again such a buzzing afternoon and feeling incredibly proud of Team Riverside and our parents who came to support!!

Thanks to George from Maidenhead Magpies in the Community for bringing Shrek to life on World Book day with Holly and Hawthorn classes when they had their football coaching , they had a great time trying to get away from the Dragons!

 

Well another exciting game from our netball team and they worked really well and Mehnaz had a cracking game defending the ball  but sadly we did not manage to win this game as Holyport had some taller players and the game was very fast. The final score was Holyport 10 and Riverside 6.

Well done to the team again, a great show of resilience as we were leading and drawing in the first 3 quarters.

Mehnaz was player of the match, well done Mehnaz and also to the rest of the team Souradrita, Aisha, Tasmiah, Ezzah, Vaania, Lucie, Charlotte and Haleema!

I am sorry but I forgot to take a photo of this game!!

 

 

Our last game of the season is in a couple of weeks so please watch this space. We also have a High 5 competition coming up in 2 weeks so I will make sure we get plenty of photos at this event!!

Wow what an exciting start to the Boys football this term, this was their away game against White Waltham and what a game it was, the teams were pretty even and the ball was being passed well  amongst both sides, when I left at half time, it was 3-3  so I wasn't sure which way the result would go!!  Some super saves from Hamaad

The final score was 7-7 and the team had a great game, well done boys, Abdul-Sami, Salahuddin, Amaan Akhtar, Murtaza, Hamaad, Faleh and Ibrahim
