Clare’s Children In Need Singathon
Clare sang 41 songs in full on her laptop and it was filmed and edited. For convenience the edited version can be watched on our YouTube channel under The Soundy family. If anyone wants to see a song in full I could email it to them. Clare tried very hard, but she wasn’t very well at the time. Thank you to anyone who supported her.

Girls Football Results 13 11 15 - Ben Rhydding v Burley Oaks Score 5-0
Players: Isabel Macina – captain, Hunnah Weller, Sophie Pitt, Jo-Jo Meridth, Charlie Macina, Emily Jowett
Francesca Macina.
Possibly the worst weather for football ever. It was wet windy and absolutely freezing. We played against the wind for the first half but we fought hard and spent most of our time around their penalty area. At the end of the first half Sophie Pitt scored the first goal of her football career much to her surprise and she froze in shock. The whistle went for half time Sophie our coach gave us a team talk. We went back on the pitch with the wind on our side. It was an amazing 2nd half for Isabel and Hunnah both scoring 2 goals each. Every player played really well especially Maisy who is new to football. Emily played well despite carrying an injury. Charlie played well wearing her Pudsey ears. Jo-Jo played well putting pressure on the other side. Francesca continues to improve despite being in year 4.
