SES versus Victoria English School Rounders MatchThe Year 5 and 6 Rounders club competed in their first ever Rounders match against Victoria English School on Monday 22nd March. The standard of fielding and batting by our school teams was excellent and both teams romped to victory! It was a great opportunity for the children to put their skills to the test and they were thrilled with the results!Scores

SES versus Sheffield SchoolOnce again the Rounders club came out in force to test their skills against another school. The 30th March proved to be more of a challenge for the teams as they had to play against teams from older year groups. This however did not dampen their enthusiasm and the teams played with skill and style! Once again the playing standard was high and many were impressed by their performances. The children in this year’s Rounders Club deserve praise for the progress they have made and their commitment to the weekly practices.Two senior teams (Year 8 and 9) also competed successfully and Sharjah once again felt victorious!Scores

Year 6 Spring Netball TournamentThe Year 6 girls showed off their skills at the D.E.S.S Spring Netball Tournament last week. All of the girls played their socks off and had a fun-‐packed afternoon of netballing action!

The girls came in >ifth in their round and were truly a fantastic representation of the rising sporting talent at S.E.S. Beating NIBRAS 6 goals to 0 was a highlight for the girls and gave them a well deserved con>idence boost. Another top moment was drawing 2 all with D.B.S. The girls had a few very close games: they were beaten by JPS 5 – 2, JESS Jumeirah 2 -‐1, D.E.S.S 2 2 -‐1 and BSAK 4 – 3. Throughout all of their games the girls worked extremely well together and never gave up their true >ighting spirit.

It was fantastic to see the girls’ talent being recognized throughout the afternoon with Charlotte, Georgie, Kyra and Natasha being awarded Player of the Match. Charlotte received Player of the Match three times – go Charlotte!

Miss Welsh and I are extremely happy with the progress the girls have made since the Christmas tournament that they participated in; the standard of play has really developed. Well done girls – you’ve really stepped up your game to the next level!

Senior Netball LeagueWe have finally come to the end of yet another successful season for the netball teams at SES. There have been ups and downs along the way but each and every team worked hard, demonstrating teamwork, sportsmanship and fair play throughout the season. We won’t know the final positions until later this month but congratulations to all the girls involved, including those Year 6 players who had the opportunity to play for the Year 7 team and gained valuable experience. A special thank you to our four team captains: Year7 Safiya, Year 8 Agni, Year 9 Harini and Year 10 Rae who ensured that the teams remained focused and on target in each and every match.

SES finish 6th

The Sharjah English School U14 rugby team finished a very creditable 6th position in the Dubai Schools League. For most it was their first experience of playing in such a competitive schools league as they learned much about themselves and their determination. For most of the games, SES demonstrated very good technical skill particularly in the set pieces and good possessional play. Many of the players have now gone on to clubs to improve further their ability. Congratulations also goes to Lucas Oakeley and Joshua Southworth. Representing the U14 Hurricanes, Dubai they won the league title beating Abu Dhabi in what was a tough encounter with both teams playing good rugby.

KS3 Swimming Galas 2010During the first week back after the Easter holidays the PE department ran three mini swimming galas for each of the year groups in Key Stage 3. These mini galas proved to be extremely successful and provided some very close results. Bonus points were given to houses for showing teamwork and individual leadership skills and for demonstrating specific technical skills during certain races such as tumble turns. This all added to the excitement and indeed final results. Students who were unable to swim took on the roles of official recorders and judges ensuring everyone took part on some level. As you will see from the breakdown of results in the table below, Lawrence were the overall KS3 winners, with only a few points separating 1st, 2nd and 3rd places and that each individual mini gala was won by a different house.
