Headmaster’s Corner

Congratulations to Larry Williamson who has been offered a Scholarship to Clifton High School. Well done, Larry!

Well done to George Bloomfield and Hannah Williams who gave two super presentations to Lower School this week on skiing (including a super Geography lesson about how mountains are formed) and being a member of Rainbows. In the photograph George is holding his model piste-basher! They had both clearly

worked extremely hard on this and both should be congratulated on the confident manner in which they spoke; well done to you both and good luck to the rest of Year 2 as they prepare for theirs in the forthcoming weeks.

Special congratulations also go to our Tennis Team who were victorious on Monday evening with a super win in the Beaudesert tennis tournament which included teams from Clifton College, St Hugh’s and Dean Close. Charlie Sanzo and Harvey Jones won the U13 tournament, beating St Hugh’s into second place. Elliott Orchard and Max Curtis were 5th overall in the 2nd string U13 tournament and Alex Jacobi and Alex Grocott were 3rd in the U11 tournament, losing in the semi-final.

In addition to the tennis success, the school had much to celebrate with all three girls’ teams winning their rounders matches against St John’s-on-the-Hill. Meanwhile, back home, the First XI Cricket Team produced a dazzling winning display against Monmouth with Max Curtis scoring 53 not out. Well done to all!

The Family Fun Day and Triathlons are now not too far away. This will be a super event and I know that our children would thoroughly enjoy their first experience of a triathlon. For the more serious events please enter on line (https://secure.melonet.co.uk/k2sports/overview?NBKids-2014) quoting voucher code MPSYQRN3. Entry for the slightly more fun triathlons will be on the day.

Good luck to all the children from Year 5 upwards with their school exams next week.

Karate Recorder News

A fantastic effort is being made by several children in Year 2. Their practice is paying off and this week four children received their BLUE belts: Lily Edwards, Hannah Williams, Amy Tucker and Ellie James. Well done, girls! In Year 3 this week, Jeanne Veron also achieved her RED belt.

Keep practising - little and often makes all the difference! Mrs Warn

Milkshake Monday Morning

The Year 4s had their Milkshake Monday Morning this week with delicious strawberry ice cream and biscuits and lots of great poems chosen from Michael Rosen's Big Book of Bad Things. The children were all keen and ex-cited to have this opportunity to take a break in the library. Many thanks to Mrs Baglin, Mrs Edwards and Mrs Gooch as well as the lovely kitchen ladies who make it all happen.

Photography Competition

It’s time to get your cameras out and get snapping over half term! The theme for the competition this term is COLOUR. Everything becomes more colourful in summer time – gardens, sunsets, hot air balloons, kites, summer picnics, parasols, ice creams and beach fun, not forgetting our own Family Fun Day which is sure to be colourful!

The closing date for entries is Friday 27th June and entries should either be emailed to the school office or submitted to Mrs Mockridge on a named USB stick. Remember to take as high a resolution image as possible because the winning entry will be reproduced onto a canvas. Runners up will win a prize too!

The competition is open to everyone and the winner and runners up will be announced at the end of term. Good luck!

Now it’s hard enough running a 10K but under a Chinese Dragon as well!? We’re all very impressed Mrs Warn!
