Y5 Cricket Match

Year 5 Cricket Match 2015 Summary Stevens XI v Parker XI Played at Wellesley, Monday 7th Dec, 11:15 – 2:45pm, breaking for lunch at 12:45pm. Batsmen have 4 overs each, in pairs, with 4 runs being subtracted for each ‘out’. Bowlers have a maximum of 4 overs each, bowled in spells of 2 at a time. The Stevens XI won the toss, and elected to bowl. Runs from Gaurav (16), Eddie (15), James (15) & Ben (9), along with around 60 extras, gave the Parker XI a score of 137. Best bowling figures came from Efe, with 2 wickets for 9 runs, off 4 overs. Tight bowling and excellent fielding from the Parker XI kept their opponents penned in, and despite runs from Ari (21) and Efe (13), they managed 30. Pick of the bowlers were James, with 3 wickets, 1 Maiden, for 1 net run, off 4 overs, and Xandi with 3 wickets, 1 Wicket Maiden, for net -5 runs (!) off 4 overs. Pairs of wickets also for Jack, Ben and Captain Gaurav added pressure on the batsmen. The game was won by the Parker XI, by 107 runs. It was a most enjoyable day of cricket, with the game being played in excellent spirit by both teams. The parent spectators were complimentary of the boys, and of the fixture, which has become a tradition. Many thanks to Matt, Jacob and William from the First XI, as well as Harry Pegg, for their assistance on the field as Umpires, and with the scoreboard. Year 5 Cricket Match - 2015 on PhotoPeach

Meeting Harold

Over the last couple of weeks we have spent a couple of sessions in the Life Education Truck, which included Harold The Giraffe.

Harold is the yellow giraffe, with brown splodges dotted all over his body. He also wore loom bands around his black horns and he is the mascot for the Life Education Truck.

During our sessions we learnt about the food pyramid, which had 5 parts to the food pyramid, and they were, Fruit and Vegetables, Wheat Products, Dairy Products, Meat and Treats. We also looked at foods that would and would not be recognised by our Grandparents and were amazed at just how much food has changed over the years and how much more of our foods come in processed packages and are not always in their natural state.

Other things we learnt were about the different parts of the food pyramid and super 7 protein, water, fibre, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals and fat. This led us onto how to read food labels and we were totally amazed at just how many different names there were for sugar! It was also surprising that foods that we thought were healthy, such as Nutrigrain and muesli bars, turned out to be very UNHEALTHY indeed!

We also learned about Lauri’s insides, as we x -rayed him and learned about his morning breakfast, (which was porridge), his dung and extract of chemicals that are bad for your body, it showed the process of how food goes through your body, starting with the oesophagus and ending with bladder and bowel.

We bounced in Harold’s truck (trying to make Mrs Stevens’ head touch the roof) and finally Harold came home from his ballet lessons and we got to meet him. Harold was in a good mood today because he lent us his food basket that we used for learning what Harold’s Great Grandmother would and would not recognise as food.

5S thoroughly enjoyed our sessions with Harold and Andrea the Life Education teacher and we are looking forward to when they come back to Wellesley in two years time.

Feeling Under The Weather!

With so many boys getting coughs and colds at the moment - it is a good thing that we spent a session with Mrs Hawthorne, testing various substances for Vitamin C levels!
