Wednesday 7 October 2026 Pickleball at All Saints School - What a SMASHING Day! Today, eight children from Southill were swept up by a minibus and transported over to All Saints School for an action-packed day of Pickleball!Pickleball has become incredibly popular over the past few years and the children were excited to get to grips with this fast-paced racket sport. For nearly all of our Southill squad, this was their very first experience of Pickleball, so paddles at the ready!The day began with the brilliant sports leaders from All Saints putting the three schools in attendance through their paces. The children took part in a variety of skills and drills focusing on serving, rallies and positioning on the court. It wasn't long before balls were whizzing over nets and rallies were getting longer and longer!After plenty of practice, the children refuelled their engines with lunch before heading back onto court for a friendly afternoon tournament. The children were split into pairs and pitted their newly acquired skills against not only their Southill teammates bu

Friday 25 September 2026 Running RIOT on a Friday Morning This morning, children made their way up to the top playground before the start of school to get those endorphins flowing!This week, we made the most of our school grounds by giving the children the chance to run RIOT! Music was pumping, sweat was dripping and smiles were everywhere as the children challenged themselves to complete as many laps of the playground as possible.A huge thank you, as always, to our fantastic ambassadors for their support, and to Mr. Frampton for capturing all the action!What a brilliant, energetic way to start the day!

Friday 17 July 2026 An Outdoor Disco for the Ages! Sadly, for some of our Year 6s, this was their very last Fitness Friday and what a way to sign off.The playground was transformed into an open-air disco this morning as children arrived bright and early, ready to throw some shapes and burn off some energy. Cha Cha Slides, Okey Cokeys and a Southill firm favourite, MOVE IT!, had everyone moving. Whether the moves were graceful or simply enthusiastic is up for debate!Our final Fitness Friday of the year also marked a sad farewell to our Year 6 Ambassadors. Over the past two years, they have been an incredible help and have supported every Fitness Friday with enthusiasm, commitment and plenty of encouragement.They leave some very big trainers to fill and we would like to say a huge thank you for all their hard work and support. We wish them every success as they take their next steps and hope they continue to bring the same energy wherever they go.

Tuesday 14 July 2026 SUMMER SPORTS CLUB - WATER PONG EDITION Our final Summer Sports Club session of the term ended with a splash as the children took part in an exciting game of water pong.The aim was simple: throw ping pong balls into the opposing team's cups to eliminate them all and score points for your team. It's also a game that may come in handy later in life as it bears a striking resemblance to another well-known pong game... wink wink!The children quickly partnered up and began competing for places in the semi-finals. After all the scores had been counted and verified, Lilly and Daisy, Aston and Layton, Gracie and Eric, and Hudson and Freddie had secured their spots in the last four.Two intense semi-final matches followed, with Lilly and Daisy facing Hudson and Freddie in the final. After a closely contested battle, Hudson and Freddie emerged victorious by sinking all six cups to claim the title.As for the forfeit, it seemed a shame to waste all that water. The participants lined up against the wall, ready to receive a soaking from ou

Friday 19 June 2026 A Crackin' Day of Cricket! Today was the Year 6 Boys' Cricket Competition at Redlands, organised by Weymouth Cricket Club. However, we had a bit of a problem... nearly all of Year 6 were in St Ives! Rather than not attending – which simply isn't an option for Southill Primary – we arrived with just two Year 6 pupils and six Year 5 pupils, ready to give it our all.

Thursday 11 June 2026 Whatever the Weather, Southill Succeeds! Southill are made of strong stuff! Today, 12 determined pupils from Year 3 travelled to Weymouth Beach to take part in an exciting multi-skills festival and what an adventure it turned out to be.With grey skies overhead, strong winds sweeping across the sand and occasional bursts of rain, the children could easily have let the weather dampen their spirits. Instead, they embraced every challenge with huge smiles, endless enthusiasm and incredible resilience.Throughout the day, the pupils enjoyed a variety of activities including cricket, handball, ultimate frisbee and rugby. The windy conditions certainly added an extra challenge! Frisbees took unexpected journeys, balls bounced unpredictably across the sand and gusts of wind tested the children's determination. Despite this, the Southill team threw themselves into every activity with confidence, energy and a fantastic attitude.It was wonderful to see the children encouraging one another, celebrating successes and showing great sportsma

Friday 5 June 2026 A Cracking Day of Cricket! Today, children from Year 6 travelled to Redlands to take part in the Year 6 Girls' Cricket Competition.Having first learned about cricket during the Autumn Term of Year 5, it was fantastic to see the girls putting their skills into practice. The morning session focused on skills, drills and learning the fundamentals of the game. With expert coaching from Weymouth Cricket Club, the children developed their batting, bowling and fielding skills. It was wonderful to see them quickly shake off the cobwebs, grow in confidence and begin to familiarise themselves with the game once again.After lunch, the competition got underway, with the children facing two teams in a series of matches to determine the overall winners. The girls batted in pairs: Avril and Eliza, Georgia and Eleanor, Ella and Bella, and Skyla and Mia.Each team started with 100 runs. Teams lost 5 runs whenever a batter was dismissed and gained runs through boundaries, sixes and runs scored between the wickets.Here are the resu
