Sports News – Girls Football
On 12 October the Coalbrookdale Girls Football team played against Red Hill Primary School but we unfortunately lost 3-0 which was very unlucky. But we did play our best and we did have a lot of fun, especially when we were all falling over [in the wet mud]. Thank you Athena (goalie), Kia, Maia, Meesha, Lily, Tilly A, Annie, Eve and Nell W for coming and playing very well. But we couldn’t have done it without Mrs Bletcher for arranging the match for us and supporting us the whole way through.

Sports News – Tag Rugby
On Wednesday Coalbrookdale participated in a tag rugby tournament at Telford Hornets Rugby Club. The people who competed were Ben C, Fred, Leo, Corey, Ella M, Kyden, Kia and Meesha. In our first game against John Fletcher the score was 5-2. The second game was 3-1 against Shortwood and our third and final group game was against Old Park and the score was 4-0. As we won every game we were automatically into the next stage. In the final we played Newdale and beat them 4-3.
Fred
Sports News – Netball
On Thursday the Year 6 netball team played in their first tournament. They played four very close fought matches, drawing one and narrowly losing the rest…if only a few more shots had gone in! A great learning experience for all.
Friends News
Friends are meeting tonight (19th October) at The White Hart at 7.30pm for another Christmas Fair planning meeting. All are welcome to join us. We’ll soon be posting a list of ‘organising jobs’ and ‘on the night’ jobs to the Facebook page. If you think you could spare an hour to help with just one job organising or on the night, then your help would be much appreciated. If you’re not on Facebook but would still like to get involved, please email me at jencedwards@icloud.com.
Most of our planning now happens on our new Facebook group: F@C Planning and Committee. Everyone is welcome to join this friendly group, even if you’d just like to have a look at what we’re up to!
We’d also like to say to new Reception parents that you are all more than welcome to get involved too! If you have any ideas or skills that you could contribute to Friends, we’d love to hear from you.
