Sports at Cann Hall

Physical Education is regarded as an important part of the curriculum at Cann Hall.

The school runs a number of teams which enter competitive competitions in the Colchester and Clacton area.

The school has football, netball and hockey teams, which enter league and cup competitions and play friendly matches with neighbouring schools.

In addition, school teams enter various sporting events and competitions including cross-country, athletics, rounders, cricket and touch rugby.

Each summer the school holds traditional sports days for Reception, Years 1 and 2, Years 3 and 4 and Years 5 and 6.

If you love football you should come to football training on a Thursday from 3:00pm until 4:00pm. We do fun football drills to improve your shooting, passing and dribbling. It is open to year 6 and if you get picked for the match it will either be on a Thursday or a Friday.

 

So far this season we have played four matches and we have won them all. We also have tournaments which are all extremely fun!

 

 

 




I like to come to Busy Bees because you can play with your friends and have fun.
We like playing on the computer, colouring, playing with the toys, dressing up and Role play.
I like it because you can have FUN!

 

 

 

 



Gardening club is on a Wednesday from 3pm to 4pm and it is amazing. We grow our own plants from seeds and we look after the worms in their wormery, their job is to break down apple cores etc.
We have a special garden where we grow food which we use in the school kitchen.

 

This year we grew potatoes, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, peas and strawberries. Thanks to our new poly tunnel we hope to grow even more next year.

 

 

 

 



Girls’ football club runs on a Tuesday from 3pm-4pm on the school field. The club is for any girl in years 4, 5 and 6, who wants to play football, learn how to play football or just come and have fun, while keeping fit at the same time.  Mrs Byrne and Mr Faithfull train us and during our football sessions we learn football skills and play mini matches.  Over the season, we compete against different schools and we also take part in tournaments.

 

This season, one of the first tournaments we took part in was in Brightlingsea, where we came first and won a trophy. Due to our success at this tournament, we qualified to go on and play in the county finals in Harlow, where we came 3rd and earned a bronze medal.   We have won all of our league matches so far apart from one, which was against Alton Park, when lots of our players were away sick!

 

 

 

Homework club is a fantastic place to do your amazing homework.  Every time you come to homework club you will have a different experience of learning.  There are three different main places that we go which are 2B’s classroom, the Library and our ICT suite.

 

 

Every Thursday from 12.45 – 1.15pm you will find Mrs Sampson outside on the playground ready to play some fun games. If you see me, come and check out what games I’m playing – you could even teach me some new ones!

 

We might be ‘Singing It and Shaking It’ in a marching band, French Skipping, running after each other as we play, ‘Please Mr Crocodile,’ or playing circle/group games. Come and find me and have some fun!

 

 

Netball club is brilliant, inspiring and it takes place on a Thursday from 3:00pm till 4:15pm. Practising shooting, we try and score as many goals as possible. It is so much fun and Mrs Spall, who runs the club, joins in with us in practice matches. It is held on the big playground so we have a lot of space! Even when it rains we go inside and work on our team skills and fitness. Come and join, its so much fun! (Only for Year 6 girls, sorry!)
