Double Tournament Success for Cundall Manor Girls
It’s twice as nice for Cundall Manor School as two of the Girls’ Hockey Teams brought back tournament silverware last week, following two impressive tournament wins. Some of our U13 team today at school Some of our U13 team today at school The U13’s Girls’ Hockey side triumphed against tough opposition at the Durham School Invitational Tournament after securing victory without conceding a goal. Louise Bessey, Head of Girls’ Games Said: “The girls have been outstanding this season. They have come so far and have really enjoyed the time playing together, proudly representing Cundall Manor School.” Captain C. Gill was dominant on and off the field leading her team to an impressive victory. This victory will set them up for the final tournament of the season, The North Final, to be played later this week (Tues 15 March) at Leeds University, where a place in the national finals is at stake. Elsewhere, the U11 Girls’ Hockey team were victorious at the St Martin’s Invitational Tournament and continued their astonishing unbeaten run. The team have yet to be beaten this season and are due to join the U13’s at the North Final, Leeds later this week. Our U11 Hockey team receiving the Tournament plate. Well done team. Mrs Bessey said: “I am incredibly proud of our Under 11’s and their outstanding run of form. The season started well having won the Loretto Tournament in Edinburgh last October and the team appear to go from strength to strength.” She added: “I am sure both teams will represent the school and county with pride this week.” To find out more about sport and other provision at Cundall Manor School, visit www.cundallmanorschool.com
Form 2 Visit Yorkshire Sculpture Park
On a bright, sunny April day, Form 2 went on a trip to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. We set off from school in the morning and arrived at the park 40 minutes later. The first sculpture that we saw was the womanhare, with the body of a woman and the head of a hare. I liked the detail that the artist had included and we could see a small handprint from her tiny son. My favorite part of the day was when we built out own sculpture. We used wood, stone and a red cup to make a creepercorn, a cross between a creeper, a unicorn and a lion. We left our sculpture under a tree. The park was a great trip and we all enjoyed it.
