Netball

Congratulations to Vigo's netball team for two excellent victories in the last few weeks.

The first victory was against Borough Green on Wednesday 18th March. Even though they had to play hi-five netball (something which they have never played before) it didn't faze the members of the team as their efforts lead to a 4-1 victory. Well done to everyone who played.

The second victory was against Riverview on Wednesday 25th March. Despite the windy conditions, the shooters were on fine form and scored 7 superb goals. Final score: 7 - 1. Well done to all who played and many thanks to mums for providing transport.

Football Match against St Joseph's

Just to prove that we are not the whipping boys (or girls) of Kent primary football, Wednesday's game was followed by a victory against St Joseph's Convent School in Gravesend. George's super strike early on was enough to see off the opposition, and to boost confidence ahead of the Easter 7s tournament. You'll see photos of most of the children giving their all for the cause (Luke is still literally licking his wounds), whilst others took measures to ward off the wicked Gravesend wind...

Football Match against Borough Green

The football team conducted themselves with great determination and spirit as they suffered a rather heavy defeat against the bigger, stronger representatives of Borough Green. Despite the one-sided nature of the scoreline (9-1), they never gave up, and, right until the final whistle, they battled both to stem the flow of goals conceded, and to score themselves. We are really proud of their efforts - here are some photos of yesterday's action.

Lion's Club Hospice assembly

Nicola from the hospice visited the school on Monday to tell us about the work that is done by her organisation to help seriously ill people. Her power-point presentation detailed how their patients are cared for and the demands that this has on their budget. She also reminded the children that the soft toys can be bought from the office at £1 each, with the proceeds going to the hospice.

Comic Relief Day

True to form, the children and parents of Vigo Village School responding magnificently to this year's Red Nose Day appeal. Not only did they throw themselves enthusiastically into the instruction of 'Crazy Hair', they also raised in excess of £250 - oh, and there was the joke telling competition as well.

Below you will find a selection of the photos taken on the day.

Congratulations to Oliver, Honey, Carla, Billy and Louis - collectively the wearers of the 'Craziest Hair' as voted by our esteemed School Council.

And further congratulations to Oliver, Joshua, Maya, Grace and Jonathan - the winners of the joke-telling competition decided by the teachers.

What's sticky and brown?

A stick.

Thank you to everyone for making it such a great day, and for contributing so much money for such a good cause.
