Did you Think We'd Ever Have CheerLeading?

Did you think we'd ever have cheer leading at Shimna? Maura Bradley, visiting student for the year from Missouri, is settiing up a cheerleading group open to years 11-14. Maura will train the team, and has some great fundraising ideas for the kit which Maura and friends have already designed. They might help cheer on our rugby team, but I'm glad to know that cheer leading is a competitive and highly athletic sport in it's own right.

It was Germany that won! I never remember to ask the final score of anything.

European Soccer

After last year's salsa, we celebrated European Day of Languages with a huge European Soccer Tournament. Everyone in Key Stage 3 was entitled to sign up and be allocated a place on a national team representing a European country. Soccer players certainly had to test their knowledge of European flags to get themselves kitted out. A fantastic afternoon of soccer culminated in the prize giving in the hall. ??won.
