Well done to the Netball team this evening, a valiant attempt was made by them on an adapted netball court today and I am so very proud of their resilience and enthusiasm and yet again fast passing!!

Safia was named player of the match and without her and Amaan in defence the final score would have been alot higher!!!

In the first quarter it was 1-1, the second quarter it was 2-1 to Holyport, in the third quarter it was still 2-1 which was down to our brilliant defending! And the final quarter was 3-1 to Holyport.  It was a truly lovely game of netball where the spirit of the game was on display constantly.  The netball team have come a huge way and are improving all the time through playing some challenging sides so well done to you all, I couldn't be more proud of you all!

Well done to Fahtima, Vaania, Hafsa, Ezzah, Charlotte, Safia, Sumaiya, Amaan A, Haleema, and Diya, we still have some changes to make to make our team be the strongest it can be......

Wow what an amazing start to the term!

We had our second competition of the year for Year 1 and 2 at Desborough College today and what a great time we had!!!!

The children had four stations that they had to participate in, one was rolling the balls in the other schools area, they then used a bat to control the ball and go to the other side of the sports hall, then they had a game of knocking the wickets over ( which they really enjoyed ) and finally rolling the ball to their partner through the planets.  The winning team was Wessex School but I have to say Mrs Atkins and myself   believe  that Riverside  was a winning team too through their effort and enthusiasm whilst we were there and even on the way back to Riverside when we walked back....

Well done to Rumaysa, Julia, AbdulHadi, Storm, Ryan, Khalid, Abdulbasit, Zaki, Arslan, Miley, Harini and Nitsa, you were truly amazing and a pleasure to take!!  Thank you to parents for their help with lifts to the event and thank you to Mr Weeks for helping with another lift.

We had a lovely afternoon and by the end of the event, we certainly saw an improvement in their rolling and catching skills.  Well done team Riverside!

A massive thank you to our Year 5 Sports Ambassadors who have really embraced their role in school by helping with clubs at lunchtime and helping deliver messages to staff and helping keep the balls pumped up so that they are ready for lessons.  Sahil, Eisa and Charlotte have been instrumental in helping other children in school so  a big thank you to them. 

With this thanks, I and the rest of the Riverside pupils would like to thank Donna and her team at Hasbro Headquarters for their generous donation of toys to the school and we look forward to distributing these lovely games to the other classes.  See the Sports Ambassadors with all the lovely toys Riverside have been gifted with.

Well done Team Riverside, a cracking good game of netball was played by our Riverside netball teamt this afternoon, it was a tough opposition but that did not deter the team to carry on !!  They were amazing and we have had some tough games recently  and very fast players today  but fast players is something we do equally well in!

In the first quarter, we were losing 3-0, second quarter we were losing 4-0 but we had a switch around at half time and went onto the score being 6-3 and in the final quarter it was 8-4 to Holy Trinity and it was such a great fast paced and thoroughly exciting game, well done to Ezzah who was Player of the Match and well done to the rest of Team Riverside, Safia, Amaan, Sumaiya, Haleema, Vaania, Fahtima, and Diya and thank you to our supporters too, Fahtima, Diya and Vaania's mummy, great to have your support.
