Last week’s competition was for the tidiest classroom. Our team of cleaners decided that the winners– not because they are always the tidiest classroom during the day, but they always clean up thoroughly after themselves - were Year 2.
Congratulations Y2!
Competition time will be having a rest over the Spring break. Tune in again next term.

Southport RUFC u10’s
Jake Pagan recently took part in the Vale of Lune RUFC
Tournament. The team he was in emerged as overall winners! This is the first time a team from Southport, of any
age, have won at this festival. Southport RUFC is over a
hundred years old and for Jake to be part of this enormous achievement is fantastic. We join his parents and his club in
saying how proud we are of him.
Well done Jake!

Girls Football
Norwood 1 St. Philips 7
The first match for the girls team since September was a very difficult one against a team from St. Philips, who play regularly in their school team. despite that our team battled really hard with some excellent defending by Ruby
Fellowes, Bethany Hefferan and Lauren Morgan, but it will be Ashleigh Thomas's goal in the last minute that will be remembered for her determination, tough tackling and celebration. All the girls enjoyed themselves and performed
very well.
Star Player: Ashleigh Thomas
The girls also played a friendly match Year 5 v Year 6 with the Year 6 girls winning by the only goal from the ubiquitous Ashleigh Thomas. Ruby Fellowes was the star player for Year 6 with her tough tackling and Lauren Morgan
for Year 5.

On Wednesday 23rd March 14 children represented Norwood in the Southport Schools Swimming Gala, at Dunes Leisure Centre. Representing the boys were Jamie Russell, Tom Lawson, Jack Wallbank, Josh Watkins, Tom Stewart, Sam Morgan
and Jaydon Lavelle. The girls team comprised of Amie Blundell, Annie McCoid, Ishbel Cooke, Caris Dixon, Emily Marshall, Abbie Wilson and Caitlin Healy.
As usual the standard was very high. Nevertheless all of Norwood's swimmers swam their very best. As a result, Norwood was represented in all but two finals, with Ishbel Cooke winning her breaststroke final, Jamie Russell finishing a close
second, for the boys, in the freestyle final and Tom Stewart coming a respectable third place, in the boys backstroke final!
The final results saw Norwood's girls finish fourth, the boys finished in third and overall Norwood came fourth.
