November 2007 Well done to all the pupils involved in the 'Broxtowe Schools Gymnastics Competition' last night. They just missed out on first place, but their performance earned them a creditable 'silver'. (See photo gallery for some action shots!) Chilwell, 30th November 2007 The Community Sports Coaches have again been in prominent action around the family. Older Key Stage 3 children at Alderman White have been involved in a series of Martial Arts coaching sessions during the Autumn Term. Alderman White, 29th November 2007 In October, the Alderman White Family Festival programme 2007-8 started with a Year 4 Unihoc Festival held at Beeston Fields. Over 90 children from Round Hill and Beeston Fields Primary Schools were put together in mixed teams and played a round robin tournament against each other. The winning team on the afternoon was the one that scored most goals in the number of games played, regardless of the number of games won or lost. The organisation on the day, and there was a lot to do in the way of timekeeping, refereeing and coaching was undertaken by the Year 10 Sports Leaders from Alderman White. The afternoon could not have functioned properly without them. For their warm up and down, they jogged to and from Alderman White for this tournament!
