Badminton
On Wednesday our badminton team took part in the PEDSSA semi-finals against Ferndown Upper School. The team won all of their doubles matches and won one of their singles matches. A huge achievement considering they were playing students in year 9. Well done to all of the boys and girls involved. They will now progress into the finals – good luck!

Year 8 Indoor Cricket
Ferndown Middle played Winton Academy this week in the first round of the U13 Indoor Cricket, with the fixture being played at the Indoor Cricket Centre at Hern. Winton won the toss and decided to field first. Although Ferndown batted well, with Harrison and Kristian batting with confidence, Winton’s strong bowling attack limited Ferndown’s scoring. Ferndown would have a tough job, but bowled well from the start. Two quick wickets from Will and Nathan gave them hope, but Winton’s consistent scoring was a worry. Some great fielding from wicket keeper Edison and a catch from Connor made for an exciting finish, but in the end Winton won the game with a over to spare.

Extra Mile Challenge
The daily mile has been taking place throughout the week and has been a huge success. We have seen over half of the school out running and embracing the opportunity to become more active. Well done to everyone that has taken part so far!

Remember that it is open to everyone and that you can join in at any time on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday break time.
