Term 3 Inter-house Chess competition results

After an exciting and nail-biting chess tournament this term, the results are in!

1st: Matthew (Hever) 25 house points

2nd: Jessica (Scotney) 20 house points

3rd: Harry (Bodiam) 15 house points

4th: Alfie (Arundel) 10 house points

Congratulations to Matthew for winning, he played brilliantly, and to Harry for representing our house so admirably.

The value this term has been opportunity, and SO MANY children have taken the opportunity to learn how to play chess just so they can take part. A few have started developing a real passion for chess following this tournament too which is a fabulous outcome

A collage of photos from the tournament have been posted on Arundel's webpage, so please take a look and continue to support our house competitions. 

 

Scotney's term 2 inter-house 'Winter art' competition

After receiving some absolutely wonderful artistic contributions, the Scotney house captains chose the following four finalists:

Olivia - Arundel

Skye - Bodiam

Darcey - Scotney

In term 1, it was Bodiam's turn to run the inter-house competition.  This was in the form of a spelling bee using the year 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 spelling lists. 

It was a close-run contest and Mr Gray and I really enjoyed our week of lunchtime spelling spectaculars with the children.  In lower Key Stage 2, Arundel topped the table followed by Hever, then Scotney and finally Bodiam.  In upper Key Stage 2, Hever were victorious followed by Bodiam, Arundel and then Scotney.  When the points were added together there was a clear and well deserving winning house. 

Congratulations go to Hever with special mentions for Isla and Hayden who were fabulous and really impressed with their spelling success.
