The Road

The road was very wet and never had been used .One day there was a cat passing by suddenly, a bright light flashed on…the cat was terrified. She had no idea what was going on. Suddenly a shadow appeared behind her. The cat nearly fainted to death. When she looked closer in she thought it was a DOG!

When she tried to run away she found out that she was stuck!

And when she tried to free herself the shadow was getting closer.

The cat saw it was her owner trying her best to pick her up.

B team Tag Rugby Festival

Beechwood B team Tag Rugby Festival – Tuesday 27th January 2015

Beechwood had a fantastic turnout for our B team festival yesterday, hosting 10 teams; Beechwood (1, 2 & 3), Southlake (1, 2 & 3), Oldfield, Aldryngton, The Coombes and Farley Hill. We had Forest School boys refereeing the games who did a brilliant job allowing the games to flow very nicely and communicating well with a good understanding of the rules.

Rugby Festival - January 2015 (152)There were some strong performances throughout the tournament With Beechwood 2nd team winning all 4 of their games in group 1 with Yussef Aziz scoring some great tries and Aldryngton winning all 4 in group 2. After the group stages we went straight onto the semi’s, the first semi was Aldryngton v The Coombes which was an incredibly tight game played to a very good standard in the end there was only one try in it with Aldryngton sneaking it 8-7. The second semi was Beechwood v Oldfield, this game was not as close and Oldfield won quite convincingly with some fantastic runs through the middle, excellent support play and capitalising on the space out on the wings. The game finished 8-5 to Oldfield.

This set up for a great final between Aldryngton and Oldfield who had already met in the group stages, it was a very physical match and there were a number of players in both sides who looked like they had experience of playing rugby out of school. In the end Aldryngton finished the competition unbeaten winning the final 7-5. Beechwood 2nd team and The Coombes also played a third and fourth place final which was another very close affair which the Coombes winning 8-7. Overall the tournament ran smoothly and all the teams got at least 5 games which was great to see.

Hockey versus Radstock – Tuesday 3 February 2015

On Tuesday afternoon Beechwood fielded two teams to play against Radstock Primary. Radstock were a team that Beechwood defeated in the group stages of the tournament in October, however this was not the case in our fixture last week with the ‘A team’ losing 7-1 and the ‘B team’ Drawing 6-6. It was apparent that the ‘A team’ needed management, as Mr Boseley was away umpiring the B team’s game.

The highlight of the fixture was the appearance of Leo French who was ‘assistant manager’ and it was fantastic to see him getting involved in sport. He listened and learnt about tactics and participated in the team talk, he clearly got lots out of the occasion.

On the pitch for the ‘B team’ our defence clearly had weakness, however the attacking options were impressing with Ollie Long scoring 4 of the 6 goals. It was interesting to see children who were debutants for the team and the year 6s seemed to settle well into the team, it was apparent that they have learnt lots through their roller hockey.

After speaking to the ‘A team’ captain, Jack felt that we lacked shape, and couldn’t keep hold of the ball which resulted in such a score line. The next game will be crucial, if we are to do well in the upcoming tournament.

‘A Team’ – 7-1 Loss (Scorer: Jack Green)

‘B Team’ – 6-6 Draw (Scorers: Ollie Long 4, Alex Routledge 1, Malik Djotni 1)

Light by Josette

Today I am going to school. I am in a glorious mood because  for the first time in forever I have done all my homework. I am skipping to school and a bright light shines!

I am petrified! When a soothing voice addresses me. I start wondering towards the bright light,  awed I steal away leaving my best friend, Anushka  by her self. She was furious!  Tentatively she followed me. Never wasting  precious time I obliviously away stumbling each step I took. “SPELL” boomed the voice. Precisely I spelled cat. “C, A, T.” I screeched louder than a male lion roaring…

Street by Esme

I was so put out I was walking down the street, the pavement was wet so the lampposts were shining so bright on them.

Shall I tell you why I was so put out? I had not done my homework so I was on my way to my headmaster’s house. I went down Crockemham Road and I guessed it was the first sporty house I saw (Mr Davis was very sporty.) I knocked on the door and looked in the window. He was finishing his Zumba and coming to the door. “Hello” I said smirking.

“Hello would you like to dance?”

Joseph walked in to the room.

If he was to defeat the horrible witch he should find her lair first. Slowly he turned around there was a lamp in one corner, he gave it a tug and there opened a large cavey like tunnel right beneath his feet. “AAAAAAHHH” screamed Joseph.

He fell into a cave and faced the witch, beside her shoulder there shone a globe the light was so bright he quickly grabbed a stick and a sword on her stony table and dived to grab the shiny thing he thrust it up to her face blinded.
