Year 7NT Safe and Effective Trampoline
Jumping for Joy: Year 7 Show off their Safe and Effective Exercise Skills
7NT recently had a lesson on how to use the trampolines safely and effectively. They were taught the importance of removing chewing gum and jewelery before exercising. Other key learning objectives taught were how to 'spot' performers to ensure their safety. All pupils demonstrated that they knew how to warm up safely and effectively in an appropriate manner for the activity. Well done to Emma Haywood, Jordan Devine, Zachary Burchell and Shae McNally who all were awarded National Curriculum Level 5c for this module of work.

Taxi for Castle High!
Thorns 9 (Nine) v Castle High School 0
(Grainger, 5,35,55) (Pearson, 10,16,32) (Thompson, 12,38) (Law, 60)
On Tuesday the 5th of April 2011 the Year 9 Boys traveled to Castle High in the Brierley Hill and Dudley Schools FA Cup Quarter Final. The Year 9 team had come off the back of some disappointing defeats in recent weeks so it was great to see the team start so positive and attack right from the first whistle. The team lined up with Ben Cox in goal, Liam Willetts making a welcome return from injury at left back as was Matt Booth who partnered Bradley Mitchell in the center of defence with Luke Dimmock in at right back. Thorns lined up with three central midfielders; Daniel Pritchard, Shane Grainger and Jordan Pargeter supported a three forwards of Liam Tolley, Calum Pearson and James Thompson.
Thorns pressed forward early on and were awarded a free kick 30 yards out after 5 minutes. Grainger lined up the free kick and promptly sent a wicked curling shot into the top left hand corner of the net to give Thorns a deserved lead. Thorns continued to dominate and following some good work down the right hand side Calum Pearson was on hand to tap in from close range to make the score 2-0. Castle didn't concede and fought back forcing smart saves from Ben Cox in the Thorns goal who was making his debut. Following a Castle attack Thorns moved the ball well from the back to the front to release speedy striker James Thompson who raced clear and lifted the ball over the advancing keeper in expert fashion to send Thorns into the break with a 3-0 lead.
Half Time: Castle High 0 Thorns Community College 3
The second half began in similar fashion to the first with the Thorns midfield dominating the game. Thorns soon found themselves 4 goals up when Pearson calmly with a side foot finish. Pearson soon found himself in the action once again and completed his hat trick when he found himself clear and 1 v 1 with the keeper. Showing great composure he rounded the keeper and blasted home his first hat trick as a Thorns player.
Captain Grainger then netted with an awesome 18 yard header following a nice move out on the right to grab his second of the game. Thompson who had been a constant threat with his skill and pace added the 7th goal of the game with a precise header following an inch perfect cross by Pargeter who incidentally had a great game. Soon after Grainger completed his hat trick and the second of the game as he rounded the keeper and slotted home. Amidst all the action there were four substitution as Greeenwood, Turley, Law and Till all made appearances and it was Ryan Law who rounded off a comfortable win with a tap in following a Luke Dimmock thunder shot which the keeper could only parry.
Thorns now face Summerhill in the semi final. The game will be played following the Easter break.
