RT:Isabelle Starr Silver After weeks of lunchtime practices, a team of Y5 and Y6 boys and

1D:Matthew Potter Kew Woods. Once again we were in a very tough group with Kew

2W:Abbie King games, which saw us win, draw and lose.
2W:Jamie Shaw
2M:Jack Barton v Kew Woods A 5-4

5B:Leah Barry v St. Philips 3-4
5M:Bethany Heyes Silver Despite a good team effort against the eventual champions, the
6P:Amina Guenini inconsistent decisions of the referee spoilt the game and with it our

Team: Tom Stewart, Jaydon Lavelle, Jamie Hough, Aaron Rimmer,
Sam Morgan, Joe Telford, Abi Wright, Elise Bond, Emily Telford and

After six weeks and some tremendously exciting chess matches between 20 players, the 2011 Norwood Chess Challenge
was won by Jamie Russell, who had been successful in 6 of his 7 games.
Each Friday the children from across Y3, Y4, Y5 and Y6 played seven matches against each other gaining points for every
win, draw and loss and collecting a range of goodies including badges, mascots and erasers.
The final week saw the deciding games with Jamie emerging as the champion for 2011. Well done to all the children who
took part.

PE Kits
We would like to remind parents that all PE kits should be kept in school.
It is essential that items should be clearly marked with your child’s
name and class. Parents should ensure the correct clothing is kept
in school at all times to ensure their child is able to access PE which is a
statutory part of the curriculum.
