The Chess Olympiad people


On Friday 5th of March we had a visit from a couple of people who had competed in the Dresden Chess Olympiad Competitions.
They showed us the basics of the game and then we had a turn setting out chess boards and practising the moves that each piece is allowed to do.

The lady, called Helen, learned Chess from her grandmother at age 3 and was winning lots of games by age 5!!

Splish Splash Day

All junior students took part in the yearly and much anticipated Splish Splash Day.
A variety of fun and challenging pool activities are followed by slippery slides, moonhoppers and water sprinkler fun.
It was a chance for parents, grandparents and other interested people to see the confidence and skill levels of the students in the pool.
