Another thrilling game of netball from the Netball team which we went onto win 12-7, it was a fast and furious game and the team yet again showed their confidence and resilience and managed to get some amazing goals.  I thought in the final quarter Wessex was going to draw level with us but in true Riverside Team spirit, the children managed to keep  some steps ahead, well done to Mehnaz for being player of the match!

 And to the whole team, a great effort.....

1st quarter - Riverside 4 - Wessex 2

2nd quarter - Riverside 7 - Wessex 2

3rd quarter - Riverside 10 - Wessex 3

4th quarter - Riverside 12 - Wessex 7

Sadly  a loss against Holyport on Monday 28 January 2-9

TIMESTABLE ROCKSTARS!

The Times table Rockstars have arrived at Riverside!

The children of Riverside were treated to a fabulous rock concert in assembly on Monday to launch our new timetable scheme!

 

 

Each child has been given:

1. A letter with their personalised login details

2. A booklet in class in which they will be completing challenges in 3 times per week.

 

All children are aiming to learn their timetable and to answer them within 3 second to become a timetable rockstar!

 

Support your child to achieve this fabulous achievement by:

1. Downloading the app on your phone and tablet and logging in.

2. Helping them to log in at home on a computer. 

 

Regular practice of the timetable is they key to many other areas of maths such as fractions, decimals, percentages and solving multi step problems. To become fluent is the key to success. 

By encouraging your child to practice online via the app or website will allow them to become successful, confident and fabulous mathematicians for life!

 

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask your class teacher to help get your child up and running online at home. 

Well done another amazing performance from the School Netball team today, we had a friendly against All Saints at home and it was a really competitive game and it was our last game for this year but do not worry we have plenty of games lined up for 2018.

The score in the first quarter was 1-1, second quarter was 1-1, third quarter  was 2-2 and in the last 30 seconds of the game All Saints scored another goal leaving the final score at 4-3 to All Saints.

I have to say, the netball team gave it their all and showed their resilience and tolerance of others at all times. Well done Team Riverside, another great game and some lovely photos to go with it!!

Well done to Mehnaz, Tasmiah, Ezzah, Fahtima, Vaania, Charlotte, Lucie, Aisha, and Souradrita.

A big thank you to Souradrita's mum for her  help this term and taking lots of action and team photos!

Well done and I look forward to the rest of the training after the holidays.

 

Well done Team Riverside, another exciting game and we were lucky to have this at home.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 2-2, second quarter was 3-3 and third quarter was 5-5 then in the last quarter we managed to win, it was a game that could have gone either way and due to their hard work and dedication the final score was 7-5, well done to Mehnaz who was named player of the match and well done to the rest of the team, Tasmiah, Charlotte, Ezzah, Fahtima,Lucie, Aisha and Souradrita.

We have another game next week as a friendly with All Saints so look out for the next result.

Wow what another exciting afternoon of Netball, not only was it fast and frenzied but it was also good teamwork and good netball.  I am incredibly proud of the girls, we went from 1-0 to St Mary's to 2-2 at full time.  Another fantastic effort from the Netball team, Aisha, Souradrita, Charlotte, Lucie, Fahtima, Ezzah, Tasmiah and Mehnaz and finally an extra special mention to Mehnaz as she was nominated Player of the Match.  Well done Team Riverside, here is to our match against Cookham Dean on Wednesday! Wish us luck!!

 

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.
