• Buckinghamshire Cricket Board Visit

  Fri 23 Apr 2021 Iola Seaton-Reid

  We were thrilled to welcome coaches Samina and Emma from the Buckinghamshire Cricket Board today.  They had sessions with each of our classes learning ball control skills.  We definiately have some budding fielders in our midst.

  We really hope many of our children will join the many local clubs in the area.

  Here are a few quotes from our children:

   

  "I liked the session but my best part was the bowling challenge at the end"

   

  "It was challenging. I had to use perseverance and my confidence but I found it exciting"

   

  "The catching skills made me think about throwing the ball more carefully"

   

  "It was fun"
