Well done to Sumayyah, Arfa, Cian, Hakima, Erin, Noah, Mohammed, Imran, Joshua and John on their participation in the KS2 Invictus festival that was held at Altwood School this afternoon!  Thank you to Mrs Dirkin for taking them to the festival where they were taught a bit about each game by the Young Leaders at Altwood Secondary School.  They experienced Dangerball, Goalball and New Age Curling and then played mini games against the other schools that were there too.  All children received knowledge of a new game and a certificate for attending and participating.  As ever, our chlidren were amazing and continue to make us proud in all that they do.

Maybe they might like to introduce some of these new games at Riverside!

Well done and thanks to Miss Porter, Mr Cranfield, Mrs Persen and Mrs Dirkin for all of their help in making this happen for our children.

Wowwwww! What a thrilling game of Netball this afternoon from the lovely Netball team who played a very exciting and well matched game against White Waltham, it could have gone to either team and it was 4-1 in the first quarter to White Waltham against us but I am so proud to say that they all worked really well and competitively as a team and finally ended up losing in the last few seconds of the game when White Waltham scored !! The final result was 8-7, it is our first loss this season but I am extremely proud to say that they did not give up and even the Head from White Waltham came across and congratulated our girls!  We found out that they have not lost any of their games either  yet so they were very much a close opponent and I am pleased to say how proud these girls continue to make me feel.  Well done to Aisha for sharp shooting and being player of the match but well done to the rest of the team, Mehnaz, Tasmiah, Fahtima, Ezzah, Lucie, Souradrita and Charlotte.

I am sorry to say I was sooooo excited by the game that I forgot to take a photo of them in action so I will make sure I get some in next week when we play St Marys.

Well done Team Riverside!

 

Well done to our victorious Netball team, their fourth game of the season against
 Cookham Rise away and they came back with a huge smile and a win of 8-5, we were thrilled at this win as this team beat us last year !  So we really are making progress    and the girls continue to grow in confidence and ability! Well done to Aisha, Souradrita, Charlotte, Lucie, Fahtima, Tasmiah and Ezzah! Tasmiah was voted Player of the Match and Aisha made a great Captain too, what a team!  Let us hope we keep  confident for our next game against White Waltham on Thursday.
Thank you to Mrs Persen for taking some of the team to Cookham Rise and to Mrs     Chesterman for taking Netball practice and for the support of our parents at theevents. I know the children love to show off their performances.

Wow what a fabulous afternoon spent with some Year 5 and Year 6's at our first Tag Rugby festival where the emphasis was on playing the game and enjoying the values of Tag Rugby  and not all about the winning.  All children were given a certificate and a big round of applause and believe me, there was a big range of abilities and experiences from the different schools.There were 12 teams there and we got to play 8 games during the afternoon and I have to say, our team had a big learning curve to endure  throughout the afternoon.

We made some mistakes but the children were very good at listening and put all their efforts in improving in the next game we had to play. I think by the time we reached our fourth game, we had warmed up and had a bit more time to flow as a team.

 

The results were as follows

Riverside v Cookham Dean lost 0-4

Riverside v Furze Platt B lost 1-4 (Sufian scored the try)

Riverside v Cookham Rise A lost 0-3

Riverside V Holyport A lost 3-4 (2 tries from Abdullah and one from Azaan)

Riverside v Courthouse B lost 0-4

Riverside v Furze Platt A lost 1-4 ( Abdullah scored the try)

Riverside v Holyport B won 2-0 (Hashim and Abdullah scored a try)

Riverside v Cookham Rise B lost 2-5 (Hashim and Azaan scored a try)

 

 

Well done to the whole team who were fantastic from beginning to end in their enthusiasm and resilience and teamwork.  The team were Aleena, Sara, Ezzah, Sufian, Hashim, Abdullah, Azzan, Jayden and Sumaiya and the captain was Abdullah and he really did lead by example as he ran through and round the opposition.

Thank you to Miss Porter for helping with a lift to the event.

A big well done to Hashim, Michell, Ibrahim, Souradrita, Sara, Ummayah, Juan and Abdul Sami who attended our first mixed hockey tournament at Altwood Secondary School, we had a fantastic afternoon of hockey where we certainly met our value of Facing new challenges as it was a very large and tough competition but the children showed their resilience by never giving up and trying hard.  This certainly was one of the toughest competitions in the School calendar.

We played Holyport A team and lost 0-5, Furze Platt A team and lost 1-10, St Lukes A team and lost 0-4, Cookham Rise A and drew 1-1, St Marys A and lost 1-5, Cookham Dean A and lost 1-3 and finally St Edmund Campion A  and lost 1-9.  The goals were scored by Hashim, Michell and Juan and it really was a hard game but certainly one where we learnt a lot along the way.  Well done to you all you were a credit to Riverside and a pleasure to take.

We had a great tournament at Furze Platt Senior School run by Maidenhead Magpies in the community, as ever our team made myself and Mrs Dirkin so proud they were fantastic from beginning to the end!!
scores were as follows
Riverside v Wessex 1-1 Draw
Riverside v Holyport A  0-1 Loss
Riverside v St Edmund 0-0
Riverside v Courthouse 0-2 Loss
Riverside v St Lukes 2-0 Win
Riverside v Furze Platt 0-0
Riverside v Holyport B 0-0
Riverside v Cookham Rise 0-0
So a  fair few games were played and well done to goal scorers Anum, Umayymah and Sara, some great saves from Michell and defence from Souradrita, well done to the rest of the team too, Ezza, Haleemah and Lucie..  We were not placed in the top 3 but we had a fantastic afternoon with lots of game play.

well done to Amaan, Murtaza, Sumaiya and Ezzah for their efforts today at Newlands Girls School.  They had an amazing day and were a pleasure to take and be with all day!  They started the day off by doing  a Lego challenge and working out what qualities you need to be a leader and putting these qualities in a practical situation, they then did some exercises on communication and given some exercises to do from Berkshire Cricket Foundation and what activities they could take back to school as ideas for the Cricket World Cup next year and finally went on to agreeing how they are going to be effective as Ambassadors at school, they were a credit to Riverside and very excited about how to help at Riverside with the younger children...we will keep you updated!
