Huge congratulations to Harry M, Robert, Ollie and Harry H who participated in the Notts’ School Cross Country League for the year 5/6 age group representing The Lanes Primary School.  This event involved taking part in 3 races over 3 Saturday mornings in Oct and Nov.  Each race was held at Berry Hill Park in Mansfield, with a starting gun and a proper cross country course going up and down hills and through wooded areas.

Throughout the races the boys were an absolute credit to The Lanes, from massive grins on their on faces during warm up games of ‘dobbie ’, to the determined faces during sprint finishes, to the complete enjoyment of taking part and competing as a team.  

To top it off they did brilliantly as a team, and achieved 4th place, which is even more impressive when you realise all the other teams were be supported by Y6 boys.  Harry M also managed 7th placed in the individual league, a fantastic achievement, especially when you again realise this was against Y6 boys.

The Y6 football team took part in the South Broxtowe Football Tornament at Roundhill on Thursday. The team were very strong and played well, they finished the tournament in 3rd place after having 2 penalty shoot-outs!

Congratulations to the swimming team who came 6th in the regional swimming gala at Bramcote Baths. All the children were a credit to the school, cheering everybody on and supporting their team.

Well done to  Ayla who collected apples from her garden and set up an apple stall on her drive as part of her Brownie Challenge badge. She raised £40 and dropped off the money to Broxtowe Community projects. 

Congratulations to Calum and Thomas Stone who completed a cycling challenge during October Half Term to raise funds for Nottingham City Hospital.

Well done to Robin Sykes on  winning the Under 13 Nottinghamshire County Championship on Sunday, winning 5 of 6 games. He received a trophy and £50.
