Our U16 Netball team traveled to Weymouth last week to compete in the Dorset County Finals at Budmouth College, taking on some of the best teams in the region. Drawn into a highly competitive group, the team faced tough matches against BSG, PGS, Sherborne, Gillingham, and Beaminsterβ€”and they absolutely rose to the challenge! 

🏐 TH vs. BSG: Won 8 - 7 
🏐 TH vs. PGS: Narrowly lost 12 - 10 
🏐 TH vs. Sherborne: Won 13 - 7 
🏐 TH vs. Gillingham: Won 16 - 5 
🏐 TH vs. Beaminster: Won 16 - 8 

In an incredible display of competitiveness, three teamsβ€”TH, BSG, and PGSβ€”were tied for first place, each having lost only one match, with TH scoring the most goals in the group: TH: 63 goals, PGS: 60 goals, BSG: 53 goals 

However, under England Netball's rules, the standings were determined by goal average rather than total goals scored. Despite tying for first place in match results, our goal average placed us 3rd, meaning we narrowly missed out on a spot in the semi-finals. While this was disappointing, the girls have so much to be proud of, and their determination and spirit were second to none! 

The focus now shifts to the Sisters in Sport National competition, where the team is ready to bring their best and achieve great things. 

A huge well done to the girls for reaching the Dorset County Finals and giving it their all! 🌟 Keep up the amazing workβ€”we’re excited to see what you’ll achieve next!

U43P finished their study of plate tectonics by creating some 3D models of composite and shield volcanoes, some even showing features such as the magma chamber and main vent. Their inter-disciplinary skills shone through, with volcanoes being crafted in Lego, expanding foam, clay, paper mache and even chocolate cake. Particular mention goes to Isla H, Lucy S, Efthalia M & Elkie S who were able to trigger eruptions with a combination of bicarb, vinegar and raspberry coulis.
Well done everyone, for embracing the volcano challenge! Mrs Chapleo πŸŒ‹πŸ§ͺ🍰
