	The football tournament was an event that caused me some anxiety as I had never before participated in this event and was particularly anxious as any host might be. My anxieties were unfounded as the whole event ran like clockwork. There was a tremendous team effort from the players and from all the staff as well as those working as volunteers to make the event run smoothly. Thank-you to all those who contributed to the success of the event. Congratulations to Ryan Hood who was awarded our player of the tournament trophy. The winners of the handwriting competition were Harriet Shorthose in Class One, Holly Day in Class Two and Holly Garrod in Class Three. Well done to those children and thank you to Swaffham Rotary Club who provided the prizes of Gift vouchers. We said a temporary goodbye to Mrs Watts at the end of term as she is being seconded to another school. I am looking forward to teaching class three next term and we welcome Mrs Maria Uragallo who was to join our staff in September but is able to start after Easter, and Mrs Joy Potter who is to work with me in class three. The term ended with yet another first for me…The Easter Bonnet Competition. I have never addressed


	I am writing this article at the end of my first term as Headteacher at Northwold. I have had a wonderful and eventful term and feel very much at home. There have been many firsts for me as well as some for the children and staff. It has been a number of years since so many Norfolk schools closed due to bad weather, but it happened this year! There have been several other day- to-day diversions, which have challenged us all, but most importantly the children have had a wonderful term full of achievement and we approach next term with an anticipation of more excitement. Our netball team were not the winners at the small school's tournament but the girls are to be commended for their team spirit and their sense of fair play.

We were delighted to be joined by the pre-school group who took the whole event in their stride as well as some other brave adults who joined in the fun. The winners were as follows:- Class One First Harriet Shorthose Second James Randell Third Oliver Davies Class Two First Holly Day Second Nathan Roberts Third Lara McGregor Class Three First Jacob O'connor
