Our Year 5,6 Gymnastics team recently competed in a development competition at Phoenix Gym Club in Daventry. The competition took place on Monday December 9th and 13 schools from the district took part. The children performed their skills beautifully on the day and finished in 4th place overall which was an excellent result. A special mention for Aaron who agreed to compete just a couple of hours before the competition due to one of the gymnasts being poorly. He learnt the routines in double quick time and actually won an individual medal for the highest vault score of the day! Well done to Joe too who had also worked really hard to learn the routines and had been a great team player throughout training but unfortunately had to withdraw on the day due to illness.
Some of our year 3 and 4 pupils took part in a gymnastics competition at Phoenix Gym Club in Daventry on December 2nd. The children had to learn and perform a body management and a floor routine and they also had to complete a vault. There were 14 teams from the district competing on the day and 2 of them were from Overstone Primary School. One team finished in 9th position and the other finished 1st! They will go forward to represent the district in the County Finals in February. One of our pupils, Shay, was awarded the highest mark of the event for his vault. There were 56 children competing so this was a great achievement. Congratulations to all our gymnasts. A huge well done to our Year 5,6 Strictly team who performed at The Derngate Theatre on Saturday November 23rd. The team worked so hard over a period of 6 weeks to learn their American Smooth Waltz and their Cha Cha Cha routines. They danced beautifully on the day, finishing in 3rd place. Congratulations to all of the dancers who really deserved their success. Another lovely shiny glitterball for the trophy cabinet!
