St Peters Budleigh verses Brixington (Year 6)

On Tuesday the the 24th of February, Brixington played the away leg of the football friendlies verses St. Peters.  After a shaky start, going 0-2 down after 10 minutes, the team regrouped and game back through Kian Davies. By half time, we were 4-2 up. A real turn around in performance. In the second half, we remained tough to breakdown, conceding one goal after a string of saves by our goal keeper and notched up another 2 goals in our favor. 6-2 was the final score to Brixington. A fantastic team performance.

Captains player-of-the-match went to Aiden Hockings. Managers man-of-the-match went to Kian Davies for scoring 4 of out goals. Well done team!!

Brixington Fun Run: 26.2.15

All children in Key stage 2 took part in a HUGE fun run today. Children had the option of running in a competitive race or a non-competetive event; both were two laps of the school, taking in the upper and lower site.

First off running were the children in Years 3&4 and later Year 5&6 children had their turn.The enthusiasm and effort was incredible from all children. It was fantastic watching the children battle it out in races, achieve personal goals as well as cheer each other on.

We look forward to the next Brixington fun run soon.
