It was a very cold afternoon but the children did fantastically to run in such horrendous conditions. It was really good to see some family attend to cheer the children on too. Well done everyone!

Panathlon event- 22nd January

This week 7 children from Years 4 & 5 represented Cobden at a Panathlon event at Pudsey Leisure Centre.

They took part in timed events such as Basketball, Curling, Skittles and lots of other fun games.

Lots of fun was had and the children were a huge credit to the school. They displayed great teamwork and lots of enthusiasm, which proved successful as they won both relay races!!

Well done everyone.

Colour Run

What a day! We were all so excited and ready to go for our first ever colour run! Everyone who took part did so with such enthusiasm and it was a great way to see the week (and summer by the looks of it!) out with a sea of colour.

Cluster football - Thursday 19th September

Our first tournament of the year was held here at Cobden today. We started with a close game against St Barts, losing 1-0 to a great goal from the opposition. Our second game, against Lower Wortley, saw them score some quick goals to take an early lead before going 4-0 up. A great cross from our attack saw a consolation goal clawed back to a final score of 4-1. Our final game, against Lawnspark, saw a close game end with a 2-0 win for us. Great effort from everyone!
