Fountains Abbey trip for Year 6

On Tuesday year six had a trip to
fountains abbey. When they got there they
were told a bit about the abbey, then they
got robes called habits (picture across) and
wore rope belts called girdles.
The first thing they saw was a little
model of Fountains abbey. Then they went
and looked around the ruins of the abbey,
which were very busy. The punishment
was excellent, but for health and safety we
weren’t aloud to pretend to whip each
other.
Finally they went and looked around
the mill then they went back to school.

Woodleigh to swim the channel!

BY PATRICK LITTEN, YEAR 8
Woodleigh’s swimming pool, which
is now even warmer than it was at the be-
ginning of term, is the central attraction of
summer at Woodleigh.
This is to swim the English Channel
in our swimming pool! We will take it in
turns to swim lengths until we have com-
pleted the overall distance of the English
Channel.
 1st XI cricket
Tuesday and Wednesday, 18th
and 19th of May
BY CHARLES SAUNDERS AND CAM-
ERON CASTLETON, YEAR 8
This week the 1st XI have played two
matches on consecutive days. These have
both been successes but in completely dif-
ferent styles.
On Tuesday, we travelled to Norton
College and beat them with a great batting
display. Jonty Gillingham was one run shy
of having to retire on 29 and Charles Saun-
ders retired on 30 not out.
Norton fielded quite poorly and this
allowed us to score quickly making 133-6 in
20 overs.
Our bowling wasn’t quite what it was
capable of being but we took a fair amount
of wickets over a steady period of bowling.
Also our fielding was not as good as it has
been this term.
In the 18th over Rob Bradley bowled
a double wicket maiden, leaving their last
few batsmen to bat out the overs.
Norton we left on 86-8 after 20 overs,
meaning we had one the match.

The very next day Woodleigh hosted
Moorlands in another 1st XI fixture. We
won the toss and batted first again.
Our batting this time around was
very poor, Jonty Gillingham and Mikey
Curtis getting the highest scores of 14 and
11. After this terrible display we had fin-
ished on 56-9 after 20 overs.
After a break Woodleigh had been
rallied and went out into the field very de-
termined to win. A tight field on the off-
side was set and only five bowlers bowled,
with four overs each.
On the first ball, Matt Procter bowled
a great ball, which was deflected down to
point, where Cameron Castleton fielded the
ball very quickly and ran the batsman out.
This boosted our morale and wickets
came freely soon after. There were a few
catches in the field and a couple of people
were bowled. In the end, every bowler had
taken a wicket, very impressive. Moorlands
ended up all out on 43 after 17 overs.
These matches were both great dis-
plays and great wins by our team, who
have really improved this term. Well done!
