  Virtual Panathlon Event

 

This year we are unable to travel to the Panathlon event so we are holding the Virtual event in school

 

The children had lots of fun trying out some new games - watch this space for the next installment of games and enjoyment

Joseph Gill from Turquiose class

 

 is this year’s Panathlon’s ‘’Primary Outstanding Achievement Award’’ winner for London for immense bravery in the face of his learning disabilities and personal tragedy.

 

The eight-year-old, a pupil at Southwood Primary School,suffered a brain injury shortly after birth due to contracting meningitis. This brain injury impacted Joe’s ability to retain information, both his short term and long-term memory were affected.

 

He has developed a love of sport thanks to his PE teacher , Stewart Stevens and taking part in competitions organised by Panathlon, the charity which gives over 22, 000 disabled young people every year opportunities to engage in competitive sport they are so often denied.

 

Joe has made outstanding progress in the last few years- he has struggled with his independent skills and he would need support from his peers and adults to complete basic tasks- getting dressed after PE, remembering his coat and water bottle, listening and following basic instructions. He also struggled to make basic conversation with his peers and would return to the same ‘safe’ topics to initiate conversation (things that he could remember – his teeth falling out or helping Grandad with his car were his favourites)

 

Joe’s independence has grown over the last couple of years as well as his confidence and this has definitely been helped through his participation in the Panathlon.

Teacher Stewart Stevens said “ He loves to come back after the Panathlon events and share information about the day and show off his medals! He now shares information that he has remembered with family members and they can now join in with his excitement. He has learnt independent skills such as changing into his kit, remembering his own equipment and following instructions for each activity”.

“Through Panathlon Joe has learned how to play games within a team environment as well as individually. Panathlon has helped vastly with Joe’s independence, he now knows when & why we take turns in activities & the different types of equipment used for different activities”.

Since Joe has attended Panathlon this has enabled his grandparents to come and support him and have commented that they didn’t realise that activities like Panathlon ever existed and fully support this.

 

During Joe’s life journey he has had to encounter several operations at GOSH to replace the shunt in his head (a tube that drains fluid from his brain),he has never been upset during this and in fact he can’t wait to get back to school and show his class mates & teachers what he has had done and show off his battle wounds.

Joseph Gill is a worthy recipient of the Outstanding Achiever award and embodies all values and the ethos Panathlon aspires to

SING,DANCE,CREATE & MOVE

Southwood v Thomas Arnold

1-1 after Full time ( lost 3-2 Penalties )

Southwood kicked off and attacked Thomas Arnold from the start and nearly scoring within the first few minutes – it was end of end football with both sides nearly scoring on several occasions, some great goal keeping by Ahmed and defending by Kyran, Daniel & Clarence kept the score 0-0 at half time – the second half saw Southwood fall behind when Thomas Arnold scored but Southwood never let their heads drop and with 5 minutes to go Wasir broke through and scored to finish 1-1

 

As it was a Cup game and getting quite dark the game when straight to Penalties , after Ahmed saved the first and Charlie & wasir scored to lead 2-1 the Thomas Arnold then made 3 great saves and saw his side win 3-2 – it was a great game of football played in the right spirit with the boys shaking hands and congratulating each other at the end  - we wish Thomas Arnold all the best in the next round.

Match Report by Charlie T ( Cpt )

 

Southwood 4 v 3 Valence

 

On Wednesday 10th October Southwood Primary School made the short trip to Valence to play a local Friendly game of Football for Yr6 boys. Southwood kicked off and conceded a goal within the first few minutes but played our way back into the game and scored a couple of goals before half time from Noah & Monabi to lead 2-1 at the break – Valence scored 2 goals straight after half time to lead 3-2 but we never gave up and Monabi scored his second to level 3-3 and with a couple of minutes to go Charlie scored to win the game 4-3

 

Mr Stevens quoted ‘’ it was a bit scrappy at first but we tried playing passing football and got better and better as the game went on ‘’ – He was very happy with the ‘’Team’’ performance as was My Raybe who was delighted with us on how we played

 

Man of the Match was Clarence for staying in his position all game and playing really well

 

Roll on our next opponents
