25.6.2014 Devon Schools Summer Games 2014

It was a slightly overcast morning which saw 10 pupils leave Dyrons at 8.00am on Wednesday. The Year 3/4 Tri-Golf Team had earned the right to represent Rydon at the Devon Schools Summer Games at Plymouth. The children enjoyed the opening ceremony before being transported to where the Tri-Golf was taking place. All members of the team represented Rydon proudly and came an admirable 7^th, which actually meant they were 7^th in the COUNTY! After the event, the children took part in a taster session of boules within the massive complex of The Life Centre. It was a brilliant, albeit tiring day with a few people resting their eyes on the journey back. Well done!

25.6.14 Year 3/4 Dartmoor 3 Ball

Well done to the year 3/4 Dartmoor 3 Ball team who recently won the school partnership tournament held at Teign School. These children will now go on to represent the school in the 'finals' which will be held at Stover School on the 9th July.

19.6.14 Year 5/6 Girls Cricket

On Thursday 19th June the year 5/6 cricket team headed off for a tournament at Shaldon Cricket Club. It was a scorching hot, sunny day and a superb location to be in with such wonderful weather! We played our first 2 matches as part of the group stage and were successful in both, which meant we had a place in the final. We faced Ipplepen in the final match, at first we were a little intimidated by their overarm bowling and their professionalism. Ipplepen played impressively and were very good a batting but our fielding matched them and we were able to reduce their run scoring and also got some of them out! Our batting was steady and consistent. Unsure of the final scores, we felt proud to have played so well and had really enjoyed our afternoon. Amazingly, we were announced as the overall winners, actually winning by over 20 runs!!! Fantastic!!!
Well done girls, you all played really well and deserved your T Shirts and Trophy.

18.6.2014 Dartmoor 3-Ball Runners-up

Well done to the Year 5 Dartmoor 3-Ball Team who finished in second place at Teign on Wednesday. It was a scorching hot day and all teams were up for the challenge. Rydon beat Chudleigh Knighton and Christow to earn a place in the Sports Partnership Finals, which will be held at Stover in the near future. Brilliant effort Rydon. Good luck in the Finals!!!!!!

13.6.2014 Tri-Golf Success!!

Well done to the Rydon Tri-Golf team who came third out of fourteen teams on Friday. It was a glorious day at Dainton Park Golf and the Year 3/4 team will now represent Rydon at the Devon Games to be held in Plymouth. Brilliant!

12.6.2014 School Partnership Rounders Tournament

On Thursday 12th June, the Year 6 Rounders' Team headed off to South Dartmoor Community School for a tournament.  Having only had a very limited amount of practise, we were a bit nervous at the start. As we warmed up to playing, we found our form and managed to win the first 2 matches against Decoy and Bovey Tracey's  B Team. These victories secured us a place into the winning teams' final. Facing Shaldon and Bovey Tracey's A Team was going to be a challenge as we had previously watched them score heavily.  Battling throughout, we were involved in a close game against Bovey Tracey but we were overpowered by some excellent scoring and unfortunately we lost the encounter. We were undeterred and prepared ourselves for the next game positively.  Shaldon were outstanding in both their fielding and batting and even with our best efforts we sadly lost but were proud, safe in the knowledge that we had tried our best. Overall, it was a most enjoyable hot, sunny and fun afternoon.  Many thanks to all of the parents who helped with transport and for their support during the game.

11.6.2014 Friendly Cricket vs Highweek

On Wednesday, Rydon played Highweek at the Rec. It was a lovely day and great cricket was played. Rydon scored 178 runs in their two innings which was only narrowly beaten by 11 runs. This was an amazing result seeing as the Rydon team was Year 4 and Highweek were Year 6! Great team leadership from Jake with some excellent fielding from all members of the team meant that the game was decided on the last over! Well done!
