Downshall Primary School

Redbridge Tag Rugby Competition

On 8th November 2017, Downshall Primary School took part in the Redbridge Tag Rugby competition. A mixture of both boys and girls from years 5 and 6 attended the fantastic event. We had a few training sessions before the day and it showed with our team doing really well against some strong opposition. In every match we played with great skill and determination! We didn’t however make the semi-finals this year but it was a great opportunity for the children.  For some it was the first time they had played a competitive sports against other schools.

“It was great scoring my first ever Try in Tag rugby” said Liaba Sohail.

Dance Competition

On Wednesday 31st January, Downshall Primary took our first ever Boys and Girls dance crew to Oaks Park High School to compete. We had great time and we were able to show off all the dance moves our crew had been practicing so hard for. With it being a very close contest, 23 schools in the competition, we were narrowly beat to the third spot and finished 4^th. It was a great opportunity for our boys and girls .We look forward to possibly taking home the trophy next year.

“I loved taking part in my first ever dance competition! We were really good and saw some great dances by loads of schools. I wish we come third but we will do better next year!” said Ashav Singh.

Now that the football season is well and truly underway Downshall has had their best start to the competition in recent years. We managed to record some convincing wins with a 5-0 win over Cranbrook Primary, 3-0 win over South Park Primary and a loss against a very strong team John Bramston. There are more football matches coming up, so look out for more results.

“I’m very pleased with how well the boys are playing as a team and moving the ball around the pitch with ease. We show loads of creativity and we are implementing skills learnt at training” - said Mr Walker (Team Manager).
