On Wednesday 13th February, twelve children from Lydgate Infant School took part in a Change 4 Life dodgeball event at Hallam Primary School. These children had all been practising at Mr Wood's lunchtime dodgeball club and had the chance to showcase their throwing, catching and, of course, dodging skills. Our school played against teams from other schools in the local area and there was a great atmosphere of fun and friendly competition all afternoon. The children played two types of dodgeball games: the first where player were 'frozen' if they got hit by a ball and had to be 'unfrozen' by their team 'doctor' and then second where they got extra points for hitting cones at the back of the opposing team's playing area. The two teams of Lydgate pupils threw themselves into every game and worked well with their teammates. There were some spectacular throws from several of the players that really impressed the teachers spectating. (And a few that had them dodging themselves!) Mr Wood and Mrs Collins are really proud of all the children who took part for their enthusiasm and sense of fair play. We'd like to thank Hallam Primary School for hosting, Andy from the Archers sports partnership for running the event, all the sports leaders from Hallam and all the children who took part. Lastly, a big well done for all the children who participated from Lydgate - you were brilliant! Keep dodging!
