SPORT 2020 - 2021
This term children will still have the opportunity to take part in a series of sporting events but virtually while adhering to the social distancing rules. The Dacorum School Sports Network ( DSSN) have organised a programme of events where children from years 1-6 can participate in, in their bubbles. Results will be collected and sent off and these will then be compared to other schools in our area and a winner will be announced.
Basketball taster day
All classes in KS2 had the chance to participate in a basketball workshop with Paul Waters. Children played games of basketball as well as learning new tricks, such as spinning the ball on their finger. Through basketball, Paul worked with the children on developing their growth mindset and resilience. He then talked about how they can transfer these skills into other areas of school and life. What a fun day had by all the children!

On the 8th October 2018, George Street Primary School participated in a Cross Country event at Laureate Academy.

Years 3 and 4 ran a 1km competitive track whereas years 5 and 6 had the option to run either a 2km competitive track or a 1km non-competitive track.
All of the students who participated ran fantastically well and some even beat their place from last year. One particular student in year 5 came first place for her 2km competitive race and gave an outstanding performance as she maintained first place from the start to the finish. It was an amazing day out with a great atmosphere and students should be very proud of their achievements. Well done everyone!
Children in year 5 and 6 participated in the High five netball competition at sports space. The children played amazingly and really did George Street proud. They won a game and drew a game. They just missed out on the semi- final after not getting through a shot out.

Netball match report
Rebekah, Lauren, Annabelle, Jaida, Holly,Jessica, Hannah, Lilly, and Lexi played against Brockswood on the 19th January 2018. We were all really excited for our first netball match. It was at home so we played on our netball court. It was split it into 4 quarters which were 10 minutes each.
In the first part of the match we were all playing hard as we could to get the ball in the hoop. They were putting up a good fight. The whistle went, unfortunately no one got a goal.
Going in to the second quarter, we still kept going because we were determined to score a goal. The ball kept on going down to our net but it either went out or got caught by the other team.
It was the third quarter and we kept on going and we were really proud of ourselves as we were yet to concede a goal
In the last quarter we were all getting very wet and wasn't very nice but we kept on going. During the last quarter, Brockswood scored the first goal, but then we levelled with them, leaving the score 1-1. They then got 2 more and we fought back and got one more goal so the final score was 4-2 to Brockswood. We are extremely proud of how we played for our first match.

Football Match - Boxmoor v George St - 4-3
The George Street football team were unlucky to narrowly lose 4-3 away against Boxmoor School.
George Street went 2-0 up in the first half thanks to two counter attacking goals from Sullivan in quick succession. They had lots more chances, including a good one for Josh, but could not add to the score, which then let Boxmoor level the game 2-2 at half time.
In the second half both teams were evenly matched until Sullivan crossed for Alfie to score a fantastic header into the bottom corner to make it 3-2. Alfie nearly scored again, but hit the post, after which Boxmoor scored to make it 3-3.
Despite some excellent defending by Saahil and Seth at the back, and Connor in goal, Boxmoor scored again to lead 4-3. George Street pushed forward for an equalizer with Daniel, Will, Harry, Alfie and Sullivan attacking well with some great passing but they could not find the back of the net.
Everyone played well and should be proud of their performance and almost getting a positive result.

Sky Try Rugby
A fantastic team of Year 5 & 6 children battled out in the rain this afternoon at the Sky Try Rugby Festival. I was totally impressed with both the rugby skills and the sportsmanship displayed by our team.
Year five fought hard in their pool and worked as a team to score many tries. Jack A displayed his speed and Michael showed his strength. I managed to see Frankie weave his way to score a fantastic Try!
Year 6 made it into the final, displaying fantastic team work and true determination. Elena was nicknamed ‘Super Woman’ by the opposition and she truly was! Maiyu was like a tank crashing through the defence and fast feet helped Ben, Leon and Jona to grab many a tag from the opposition. All in all every member of the team was brilliant.
During the tense final both teams showed real passion and determination through the teaming rain. We were finally defeated by Hammond in a close game, but the Hammond team played really well to come back from two tries down.
We would like to thank Mike for yet another fantasic event and helping us to love rugby. Thank you to Mr Carr and Darren who coached both teams well and Ben and Elena’s parents for cheering us on through thick and thin!

Boxing Our Way to the Olympics
Monday 27th June all the children got the chance to get into the ring! On our ‘Road to Rio’ we sampled the Olympic sport of boxing. Dan brought in the ring and punch bags to give each class the opportunity to show what they are made of and spend some time on the pads. Year 6 have been having weekly boxing lessons and these have helped to relieve stress and build confidence. It was great to see all the school having a sample of this.

To raise money for Sports relief this year we ran a sponsored fitness circuit challenge for the whole school to take an active part in! Each class, with the fantastic support of the Sports Crew, completed the circuit of activities. It was lots of fun as well as hard work!
The proceeds from this day are going to be split 3 ways, half will go to Sport relief, a quarter will go to the lioness orphanage, this is the schools chosen charity, and a quarter will go to the Rosina McAuley Brighter Future fund. The latter is a memorial fund set up with Great Ormond Street Hospital for bowel disorders.
I would like to say a huge thank you to all the children for being fabulous! A well done to the Sports Crew who displayed their fantastic leadership skills! We were also very lucky to have Jess Forbes Malone support us throughout the day, so thank you to her also.
As always thank you for all the support from home.

Year 6 'Show Racism the Red Card'
Today Year 6 went to visit Vicarage Road to take part in a workshop designed to stamp out racism. We learned about how football players have been subjected to racial abuse and how they are working together to show racism the red card!
We took part in a question and answer session with players including Watford mid fielders Guedioura, Anya and super striker Ighalo. In addition, legend Graham Taylor also took part and answered questions posed by Sonny and Grace.
It was a fantastic and worthwhile experience, with such superstars sending clear messages to our respectful pupils.

Super League Hull KR visit George Street
SUPER LEAGUE HULL KR VISIT
GEORGE STREET
Today we were really fortunate to be visited by Super League high flyers and last year’s Challenge Cup finalists Hull Kingston Rovers. Mike Stewart from Hemel Stags arranged for the players to visit, a reward for winning the Year 4 Sky Try Rugby League. We were really lucky as we were the only primary school they visited in the area!
The visiting players, Aussie Maurice Blair, Frenchman Kevin Larroyer and English players James Green, Ian Thornley and Matty Marsh spoke in assembly about their experiences, sacrifices, and why they love rugby league. They were not used to public speaking but did a fantastic job. They had to use many of our school Learning Powers in their day to day life, especially resilience.
Some of our Sports Crew asked them questions such as:
‘What is your greatest sacrifice you have had to make to follow your dreams and become a rugby player?
What advice would you give to anybody wanting to get fit and improve their health?
Last year you played in a cup final at Wembley. How do you prepare for such an important match?’
They left behind some autographed goodies for us to give out in assembly this Friday, where we will do a lucky dip to find the new owners!
We would like to say a huge thank you to all the players and Mike for arranging such an inspirational visit.
Anyone wanting to check out the visiting Hull KR players can go to http://www.hullkr.co.uk/on-the-pitch/first-team
Remember to check out Hemel Stags website. http://hemelstags.com/
Perhaps you might be inspired to play rugby too!

Sports Day
Last weeks sports day was fantastic! ‘It was the best Sports Day we have ever had at George Street’ was the comment made by most children, staff and parents I spoke to. It was brilliant to see so many children displaying their sporting skills and supporting each other. Parents and carers you were amazing! After many reluctantly agreed to race, we see the real competitive spirit and a little bit more than we bargained for in the space hopper race!
Congratulations to all the House Teams , but a special well done to Admiral the FS and KS1 winner and Brimstone the KS2 winner.
I would like to say a huge thank you to all involved and a special mention to Rob Peche and Mike for handing out the trophies.

So we are Dacorum winners and have even ordered a new cabinet to display our awards.

Rounders Team
The rounders team have been part of the Year 5 and 6 rounders league. They have worked hard to practise their skills at lunch times and during lessons, also having to master the rules. They had a terrific start to the league with good wins against Brockswood and Lime Walk, but suffered a narrow defeat against Belswains losing 7 - 8 1/2 rounders.
It is the first time we have been part of the league and we have really enjoyed playing in the matches. It has been wonderful to have so many parents support us too!
Well done Team George Street!

Fight2Fitness Boxing Taster Sessions
Today KS2 have sampled a Boxing session run by Dan from Fight2Fitness! It was fantastic and hard work! After a warm we practised a jab and a cross punch and learned to keep up a guard (You would not want a jab to the face, would you?) Later we practised with the pads and had to finish with the deadly plank! Have you tried holding that position for 2 minutes? It hurts like MAD!!!
It was great fun but an exhausting session! I’m sure Dan’s boxing club next term will be fantastic!

Greenway were very worthy finalists and they finally broke our winning streak to take the title.
Our fabulous four players were a credit to George Street School. They played with determination and were fanstastic sports. Bravo!!

Year 2 Summer Sports Fayre
On Monday 27th July, Year 2 ventured to Sport Space Hemel Hempstead to take part in a Dacorum School Sports Network sporting event. Many schools across Dacorum came together to display their athletic abilities and take part in many different activities. As always the children had lots of fun and were very excited about how fast they ran, how high they jumped and how far they threw! Take a look at the pictures to see the children in action.

Year 3 & 4 Football Squad March 2015
Thursday 22nd January 2015, we braved the cold to play at home against Brockswood Primary School. Reddings. Again, we tried to work as a team and listen to Mr Merret’s and Cian’s advice! We scored first but it was closely followed by a goal from Brockswood! We both scored another goal each and held them off for a 2-2 draw. Sonny thoroughly deserved ‘Man of the Match’ again! A special thank you to Frankie who stepped in at the last moment to play too!
