BIGGEST EVER FOOTBALL SESSION ! On Friday 7th March, Oldfield Brow Primary School is joining schools across the country to celebrate the Biggest Ever Football Session! A fun day of celebration to inspire and empower the next generation through girls’ football in schools. At Oldfield there are a number of things happening to celebrate the movement towards equal access to football and inspire our young girls to get involved! All girls (Y1-Y6) will be invited to come to school wearing their PE kit. There will be a circuit of football challenges set up on the MUGA throughout the day that each year group will have a time slot on for their girls to participate in and we will be setting some personal challenges out on the playground as well for playtimes and lunchtimes. In addition to this, we are very lucky to have had a GENUINE ELLIE ROEBUCK WORN AND AUTOGRAPHED SHIRT donated from one of our Y1 parents- a big shout out to Isobel’s mum for arranging this!!! Ellie Roebuck has had a distinguished career so far playing professionally as a goalkeeper for Manchester City (where she has won the Women’s Super League, the FA Cup and the League Cup), representing Great Britain in the 2020 Olympics as well as representing her country playing for England (including chosen for the 2023 World Cup squad!!!) before recently moving to Barcelona. This shirt is from the 2023 World Cup where she represented England and has been personally signed. The best news is that you could be the lucky owner of this shirt- raffle tickets can be bought from this site throughout the next week and the raffle will close at 12:30pm on Friday 7th March. This will allow the winner to be announced and the shirt presented in assembly at the end of the day! All proceeds will be used towards new sports equipment for playtimes – our Sports Leaders will present choices to the children of each year group and all children will be given a vote; the most popular equipment will be purchased. We look forward to celebrating with you all on this day!
