4. It was a great win by Norwood’s B team with two goals Norwood B 2 Linaker B 1
by Ryan Taylor Reid. The first goal of the match
happened when Josh Watkins served a great chip over
Linaker. Once again the great Ryan was on the ball and
charged forward, took a shot and its there! As Ryan
sprinted up field from defence he made a brilliant tackle
took a shot but the goalkeeper gave us a corner. He
wiped the sweat off his brow, looked up and made an
amazing cross to Gabriel Angay but Linaker’s defender
jumped for it and scored.
Team: Josh Watkins, Sol Wilkinson, Joe Telford, Nathan
Onyett, Jamie Kelly, Tom Lawson, Sam Morgan, Joe
Davenport, Leon Booth, Rueben Sheridan, Connor
Peters, Gabriel Angay, Ryan Taylor-Reid & Kane

6. New Menu starts November 2010
YR 6 Visit Vue Cinema
Last Friday Year 6 were given free tickets to go to Vue Cinemas as part of National Film Week. With Mr Postlethwaite
setting the pace, we walked all the way to Ocean Plaza in less than hour. Even Mrs Coleman managed it with her short
legs! As we have been writing a Quest story recently, we decided to watch Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. It was a
brilliant film. Look out after half term for our film review. As the weather was lovely, we decided to have our lunch at the
end of the Pier and then walked home via Hesketh Park. We all enjoyed our day and can’t wait for our next trip out.
Lunch at the end of the Pier.
