3 remarkable APL Cup Games played today - all looked like they were heading for penalty shoot-outs and all were decided by last minute winners! Well done to all of the teams who participated today. Victory can be sweet, and defeat can be painful but every player can be proud of putting in their personal best. Next Monday's 'Back Of The Net' podcast will cover a huge week of APL action- not to be missed!

A big week in the APL has seen round four completed with a stunning goal from left-footed maestro Zac U which saw the seriously unlucky Toe Wrestlers go down one - nil to the Real Aura Farmers. It was only an amazing save by Agnes B of Ella's on-target strike for MTW that kept them from a well-earned draw. Magic Marko was at his blistering best in the top of the table clash which saw his hat-trick take the GOATs clear of the pack on 10 points. With a wonderful goal added by Waleed, GOAT City countered an early goal from Iceblock FC's Taylor R to take the match 4 - 1, and to push Marko into the lead of the Golden Boot competition with 5 'sausage rolls'.
The first APL CUP game was won by I Am A Pancake Utd. thanks to a combined effort from Solly and Louis who squeezed a shot past the ABM Aura Farming keeper to run out 1 - 0 winners. Today we have scheduled the remaining three Cup games to see who will progress to the second round - let's hope the rain stays away!

Over the last term, a group of Year One boys have been working on a special recycling and paper-making project. They have organised scrap paper containers for each of the Broad Street classes, which they collect and empty every week. The scrap paper is soaked and turned into pulp using a hand blender before the group use a mold and deckle to make beautiful sheets of re-cycled paper. Two of the images shown here are magnified sheets captured by a digital microscope, highlighting the unique texture and make-up of the paper. The boys are now investigating how to use the recycled paper to make special notebooks and cards which we hope will be available on the TWYN trolley soon - stay tuned!
