PE Year 10 Enrichment Day activities
The first Enrichment Day of the year saw the Year 10 Sports Studies group attend the annual days sailing and raft building with the Bury Lake Young Mariners at Rickmansworth Aquadrome. The trip was part of Unit R056 Developing knowledge and skills in outdoor activities where students are developing their experience of the range of different outdoor activities in the UK. With a mixture of rain, wind and sunshine during the day the group showed fantastic enthusiasm for the activities showing great control in the sail boats and really using the wind to develop speed. In the afternoon session the students built their own rafts with one team managing to keep their raft afloat around the course. The BLYM instructors were extremely impressed by the efforts of the BMS students who showed a real flair for sailing. The group now looks forward to further trips in BMX and mountain biking as well as a days kayaking later in the year. Many thanks again to the team at BLYM and well done to all the students for their efforts throughout the day.

Comment : Wednesday saw the year 11 team play their second district league game of the season against Reach Free. The team started really well by playing some excellent football which led to the first goal of the game. The team kept the pressure on by creating plenty more chances to score but were unable to add the final finish to some good build up play. Bushey were then awarded a penalty, which they converted to take a two goal lead into half time. Reach Free started the second half really well by creating some good chances of their own and quickly found themselves bringing the game level at two two. The team then re-grouped and began creating some more very good chances to score. They scored two goals quickly with only 7 minutes to go in the game. They capped the game off by scoring another late penalty. An excellent team performance by all involved.
Year 8 v Parmiters B (District League) AWAY Mr Cartledge

Commended performances : G Guainiere, J Gladdy, S Mowle
Comment : The year 8 boys made it 3 wins from 5 games with a convincing win over Parmiters after a very strong second half performance. Despite having much of the possession the boys found themselves 3-1 behind at half time. However some excellent football in the second half and a fantastic hat trick from G Guainiere saw the boys produce a well deserved win in very wet conditions. Special mention to J Gladdy who was outstanding again at centre back.
Year 11 v Croxley Danes (District League) AWAY Mr Burnell
Date : Tuesday 5th October 2021
Result : Lost 6-0

Commended performances : A. O’Shea, N Haines, E. Mccarthy-Richardson, J. Patel.
Comment : Tuesday saw the year 11 team play their third district league game of the season against a very strong Croxley Danes side. The team started well and created some good chances to score. However Croxley Danes scored two excellent goals to take a 2-0 lead into the break. Similar to the first half the team started really well by playing some excellent football. However again, Croxley danes began playing some very good football, scoring some great team goals. The team showed excellent character all the way through the game and can learn a lot from this result.
