Half-Term will soon be here and our theme for the week will be Bugs and Butterflies. We will need small plastic drinks bottles to make bottle bugs, so donations will be most welcome on the last day before the holiday.

Information about summer holiday activities, special events and trips will be available after half-term.

Badsey victorious!

Match report by Jordan Lymn

Badsey defeated Littleton 7-2 in a mostly one sided game. It wasn’t too long before Nathan Bolland opened the scoring with some hard work by Christopher Ballard. Some more hard work from Badsey and they produced another great goal by Aaron Jelfs. Badsey played some great football, as Jordan Lymn scored with great work from Jordan Evans to get the ball down from Ryan Attwoods goal kick. It wasn’t long before Jordan Lymn got another goal with work from Nathan Bolland, Matthew Knight and Aaron Jelfs.

Pebworth vs. Badsey First School

Another really exciting match which resulted in a 3-3 draw which both teams thoroughly enjoyed.
