Chacewater gymnasts snatch 4 of the top spots in key steps gymnastics Competition!

On Thursday 28th November hosted its annual Primary Key Steps Gym competition. We had an excellent turn out of 32 gymnasts from 7 of the Richard Lander and the Penair cluster schools entered into either the School Gymnast or Club Gymnast competition. Each individual gymnast performed the 3 routines; Body Management, Floor Exercise and Vault as appropriate to their category. Each gymnast was scored individually for each of the 3 elements and this was then combined to get a total score. The top 4 Club Gymnasts and the top 4 School gymnasts were then selected to represent the family at the Partnership finals due to be held later in January. Congratulations to Hannah Barnes (Mount Hawke), Eleysha Penaluna (Chacewater), Katie Dawes(Archbishop Benson), Jenna Dymond who will be our Club Team. Congratulations also to Izzy John (Devoran), Maddison Pippin, Izzy Ashurst and Kate McConnell (all Chacewater) who will be our School Team. In addition to the individuaal aspect of this competition if schools had entered 4 gymnasts in a category they could then compete for the winning team trophy. Congratulations to Mithian School who retained the Club Team Winners shield for a second year in a row. Devoran then won the School team winners shield. Many thanks to all those who attended, the standard of gymnastics was exceptional this year! Good Luck to those student who have progressed to the finals!!

‘Beat it!’ Archbishop Benson see the other school off in Feetbeat Competition!

On Thursday 5th December Richard Lander held a Dance Feet beat competition for Year 3 and 4 students open to Truro Primary Schools. Disappointingly only 2 schools attended and stepped up to the challenge of creating their own “wake and shake” style dance to a music track of their choice. The newcomers Arch bishop Benson were to take on the reigning champions Shortlanesend! Following a warm up which was led by Richard Lander sports leaders and dancers Alabama Seymour, Abbie Piper and Katie Dobson the primary dancers performed their routines which were then judged by Miss Guymer and the Lander Sports Leaders. Both the standard of the dancing and the creativity of the routines of both the schools partaking was judged to be most impressive but the eventual winners and new champions were Archbishop Benson following their spectacular routine to ‘Beat it’ by Michael Jackson. After the competition the 2 schools took it in turns to teach each other their routines and much fun was had by all in learning these. Thanks to those who attended and we hope to have a better participation rate next year! UPCOMING EVENTS
