Three in a row for the ladies

Another Upminster Derby for the Girls, this time at home to Branfil.

On the 28th of January the Girls' Football team played a very tough match against Branfil Primary School. The UJS goals were scored by Ruby Barnes who scored two goals, Chloe Brand scored 2, Olivia Sorrell scored an amazing penalty to take the score to 5-0, Evie Gadsdon scored one goal which was a tough goal to get and we also had a stunning goal from Bethan Hodges. Branfil netted two, taking the final score 7-2, in what was an excellent match.

Success at home for the Girls

The UJS Girls' football team had their second match on Tuesday. 

They played their first home game versus Hacton school and showed great teamwork and sportsmanship as well as how amazingly talented they are.

 By the first half they were 3 goals up and in the end won 4-0.

Match Report - the Upminster Derby

On the 13th January 2016, Upminster Junior School Girls' Football team took on Engayne Primary School. What should have been a home match had to be moved to Engayne because of the weather.

UJS triumphed in a hard and physical match against excellent opponents, with goals from Ruby Barnes and Evie Gadsdon. The final score was 2-1, with a penalty against us.

A massive thank you to all the supporters, and especially to our coaching team of Omar, Lizzy and Miss Beqiri.

Adam, Year 4, attended the workshop on Wednesday.
'It was good, my favourite was where you stand opposite each other, a bigger boy calls out a sum, and we had to answer it. Whoever gets it right can kick the ball. If you score a goal your team gets a point'.

Parents: your turn next... Maths Workshop tonight (Thursday) 7pm in the hall with Mr Ansell.
