Entries from March 2008
On the 10th of March 2008, Stocksbridge Junior School’s amazing Athletics Squad went to the South Yorkshire finals to compete for the title of the best team in South Yorkshire. The athletes went to the EIS (English Institute of sport) to hopefully win the most races as possible to get the most points and therefore earn the title of South Yorkshire winners! At the end of the competition, everyone who took part, sat nervously as the result were counted. Amazingly, after about 6 years of SJS squads competing, WE WON!!!

On Monday 10th March 2008, Some y6 pupils (and some y5) went along to the EIS, to compete in the South Yorkshire Indoor Athletics Finals. Eight schools had gone through to the finals (two from Barnsley, two from Sheffield, two from Doncaster and two from Rotherham); but sadly, only 7 showed up.
Jordan started us off with a clear first place in the one lap sprint. As the boys were running like mad, the girls were also working their hardest on the field events. It was a great success!
After the boys, they had the old switcheroo, and the girls began to work their socks off on the track. Amy C whizzed easily to the finish line to set the girls off on a role! Jack (who had been brought into the squad especially for this event) threw hs javelin so far that the wall at the other end of the sports hall was the only thing to stop it from circling the world!
Finally, it came to the results. As the places were being announced, everyone sat nervously with their fingers and toes crossed. …7…6…5…4…3…2…1… STOCKSBRIDGE JUNIORS! The crowd roared with excitement - it was the 1st time ever, that S.J.S had won. It was a truly great day! :-)

S.J.S made a stunning performance yesterday at the English Institute of Sports in the South Yorkshire Indoor Athletics final. Our school has been amazing at each of the rounds so faras everyone has tried their absolute hardest to do their bit as a part of the team. The work paid off; we won!!!!!!! Everyone was nervous as the commentator revealed the places from 7th to 1st place. We couldn’t believe it when it was only the two Sheffield schools left for 1st and 2nd places, even moreso when he read us out for 1st place! Well, everyone in our school now says, “We’re the best team in South Yorkshire!” All the athletics teams are surely going to cherish the memories forever.

On Wednesday 12th March Miss Kunze, a year 5 teacher, is leaving! We will miss her a lot. Hopefully she will come and visit us again. She taught Miss Freeman’s class. She was a really nice teacher! She helped us all on our work when we got stuck on a question. She really explained it clearly when we didn’t understand so we did.

This week in numeracy lessons I have been investigating different things. Like today I have been investgating about tennis, who can play tennis about lots of different situations. Yesturday we investigated about fuit bars and chocolate bars. When I don’t understand I just try my best and sometimes I get it right but not all the time. At the end of each lesson the teacher gives out a certificate to the person who can understand and explain how they got the answer. I have never got the certificate before because I don’t always understand what the teacher says we have to do.
