Year 6 Borough Sports Day

admin — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 11:26:56 +0000

On Wednesday 7th July year 6 participated in Borough Sports, competing against 34 other Richmond Schools. It was a fantastic day for the 8 children who participated in the event. Each child had to complete four events: a sprint, a long distance run, a vortex throw and a standing jump; they did brilliantly returning home pleased and a little tired! Overall a great day for Collis!

The Y5 Junior Safety Officers (JSOs) have won the JSO of the Year Borough trophy – for all the work they have done this year!! They have had a very busy job writing quizzes, running assemblies, competitions and updating the school website. What a fantastic year they have had. Well done.

South East Regional Semi Finalists!!!!

Collis Primary School — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 12:47:22 +0000

The Y6 Boys’ Cricket Team and supports travelled to Hove yesterday, to take part in the South East Regional Finals which were played on the Sussex County Cricket ground. They were all real assets to the school and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience of playing cricket in such a super venue. The standard of cricket on the day was very high and Collis played superbly until they were knocked out at the semi-finals stage, beaten by the eventual overall winners. Collis came 4th in the competition, on the day, out of 8 other schools from 3 other counties. But overall that now means that the Collis is the 4th best cricketing school out of 600 schools in the South East Region! THIS IS FANTASTIC! We are so proud of you.

Quadkids

Collis Primary School — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 08:59:48 +0000

On Friday 25th June, children from Y3, 4, 5 and 6 participated in a Quadkids event, against 5 other Richmond Schools, organised by Motive8, on the St Mary’s running track. All the children had to complete a: sprint, long distance run, vortex throw and standing jump. We had some fantastic individual and team performances – the Year 5 team, beating Year 6 teams across the Borough, won the Quadkids competition in the Year 5 and 6 group! Also, the Year 4 team, came second in their Year 3 and 4 group. Brilliant!

Y6 Middlesex County Finalists

Collis Primary School — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 09:32:03 +0000

While England were preparing to play Slovenia, the year 6 cricket team, plus the growing band of supporters, went up to Regents Park to take part in the Middlesex County Finals of the Asda Kwik National Cricket Tournament. 12,000 teams play in the tournament with Collis being just one of more than 150 teams from Middlesex alone.

In the first games we beat Belmont (representing Hounslow) by 24 runs, then New End (Camden) by 54 runs taking us into a semi final against All Saints (Barnet). Another great team performance saw us through, by 30 runs, to the final against Woodend (Ealing). They biffed a rapid 71 despite 2 of their players being felled by quick straight balls. In reply we batted well but lost wickets steadily ending up with 49 so ending up as the second best team in the whole of Middlesex!

All of the squad contributed with bat, ball and in the field and again were a great credit to the school.To top off a fantastic (and hot) day, the boys received their medals from ex Middlesex and England fast bowler Angus (Gus) Fraser.

Rumour has it that we have now qualified for the regional finals against the best schools from other counties in the South East of England but that’s all in the future…..for now we salute the year 6 boys.

Sports Day

Collis Primary School — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 08:30:14 +0000

Thank you to all the parents support we had at Sports Day this week. We really did have terrific weather and I hope that the children enjoyed the activities… and the ice lollies! Congratulations to the Red team in Y3 & 4 and Blue team in Y5 & 6 who won their house events. I thought the Hampton Boys did a superb job leading the activities again and I hope we can continue this link in the future.

Green Fingers at Collis

Collis Primary School — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 11:38:50 +0000

It has been an action packed term at Collis.

Scarecrow at Hampton Court

Collis will have its own scarecrow on display at the Hampton Court flower show. It was designed and made by a Collis mother and the gifted and talented team of children. The theme this year was a midsummer Nights Dream by Shakespeare. The scarecrow also had to be made out of recycled materials. ‘Bottom’ was originally a pink unicorn!
Visitors will be voting on which is their favourite scarecrow, so fingers crossed for Collis.

Richmond In Bloom Competition

Video prepared for Richmond in Bloom

Collis has entered this competition for 3 years now. The judges came round the Collis, they met a couple of yr3 children and Mr Butterfield. They were very impressed with the new decking around the Nature Trail pond. Catering manager Rachel now has her own herb garden to use for school meals. Each year group has its own vegetable patch and have been busy this year sowing seeds, planting out their vegetables, watering and watching them grow. Attached is the competition entry brief.

Teddington In Flower

On Sunday 13 June, the school Nature Trail was opened to the public as part of the Teddington Open garden scheme. Over 250 visitors came and admired our hidden gem. We were helped by the Collis contingent of Girls Guides who did this as part of their anniversary community medal. The new Mayor of Richmond came and enjoyed the atmosphere and tea and cakes.

Year 5 Cricket – Borough Finalists!

Collis Primary School — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 08:20:54 +0000

The mixed Year 5 cricket team was a real asset to the school when they competed in the Borough tournament at NPL. After playing superbly and beating Stanley in the semi-finals, (something which is becomming more frequent now!) we played East Sheen in the final. After a very tense and close final – 12 runs in it – we came 2nd! An excellent result for the Y5 team, who are now determined to go on and win the trophy next year; when they are in Year 6! Again, thanks go out Dave McCormick who helped train the team and manage them on the day.

The Countback Kid

Collis Primary School — Thu, 27 May 2010 09:35:35 +0000

We were very lucky this week when the ‘Quatium Theatre’ group came to perform a maths problem solving play called ‘The Countback Kid’ to Years 1 – 6. The children really enjoyed solving the puzzles and singing along with the songs to help the Countback Kid save the day!!
