17.10.2017 Yr 6 Netball Festival

On Tuesday 17th October, all of Year 6 walked to Teign School for a fun morning of netball action. At the netball festival, the Sports Leaders were very clear and supportive in all of the activities. The activities included; benchball, shooting, tag-rugby (to improve dodging) and a warm-up game called 'coathanger'. All of the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves, especially in the competitive aspects of the morning and would love to take part in activities like this again. Thanks goes to all Teign staff and Sports Leaders who helped make the morning a great success.

Rydon vs Blackpool

Rydon's A and B Team both got their league matches underway against Blackpool School on Tuesday 29th November. Rydon had come up against Blackpool the night before in the Doel Cup which had seen Blackpool win 2-0. However, the A team started well and scored an early goal, this was then followed up by some excellent team play which saw a further two goals scored. The final result, Rydon 'A' 3, Blackpool 'A' 0. It was then the B teams go. All players worked hard and showed good team spirit after going down 1-0. Rydon continued to press but unfortunately due to a excellent Blackpool defence, the result remained 1-0 to Blackpool B. Thank you to Blackpool Primary School for two brilliant matches and also to all the spectators and supporters who cheered on all of the children.
