A Chance to Shine

In sport, with a new focus on playing Cricket, the Prep PE Department invited in the organisation “Chance to Shine” to come to Pipers and introduce the sport to the girls.

Chance to Shine is a national charity on a mission to spread the power of cricket. Working with local cricket boards and thousands of schools all over the country they want to demonstrate how exciting cricket can be and encourage young people of all ages to get involved in the sport.

The senior girls at Pipers have received coaching though Chance to Shine for a number of years and it is now time for pupils in Year 1 – 6 to also benefit from the opportunity.

Our “All Star” coach Emma quickly got the girls active, participating in fun batting, bowling and fielding drills. Each session finished with a fun caterpillar game in which every student applied all of these skills to competitive match play.

What a wonderful introduction to the sport – we now can wait for the Summer Term and cricket season!
