• Jaguar Cars Maths in Motion

  Tue 17 May 2016

  Our Maths team will travel to the British Motor Museum, Gaydon to try and defend the World Championship they won last year against teams from England, Scotland Qatar and Spain.  With 90000 pupils around the World taking part in the challenge our team of James Hanrahan (10), Frasier Andrews (11),  Jack Boxley (11) and Oscar Timms (11) have had to program a racing car to race against other schools in two races to reach this stage using a wide range of maths skills.  “We are looking forward to an exciting day, although I do not find watching the race good for my nerves,” Paul Sutton, Deputy Head

   

  “We are very proud of these pupils representing the school and all those others in school who have competed with them to push them to these high standards.” Jeanette Marshall, headteacher

• Winning Netball Team

  BUTLERS COURT END OF SEASON NETBALL TOURNAMENT

  On a hot sunny afternoon the Butlers Court End of Season Netball Tournament took place on Friday 5^th May 2016.  35 children from years 4, 5 and 6 were split into 5 teams.

   

  Teams played each other once in games of 6 minutes each way rotating positions at half time and at the start of each game, as per High 5 rules.

  All games were closely contested with only 2 points separating 1^st and 2^nd places and a mere 2 points between 3^rd and 5^th places.

   

  Mrs Marshall presented certificates to all 35 participants and The Butlers Court Netball Tournament Cup was presented to the winning team.

  It was impressive to see how the children supported each other in their teams with the more experienced netballers giving advice and encouragement.

   

  A huge thank you to Mrs Cook, Mrs Lansdown and Ellie Morris, from The Beaconsfield School, for their help during the tournament and to all the parents/carers for their support during the season, particularly those who have helped with transport for away games and tournaments.

   

  However, the biggest thank you must go to the children who have attended netball club, whatever the weather, throughout the year.  It has been a pleasure to see their skills develop and share in their enjoyment of a fantastic sport.

   

  I wish all the year 6 girls good luck in year 7 and look forward to hearing of their netball involvement in years to come.

   

  Netball will start again in September and I hope to see the return of existing netballers and any boys or girls who would like to join Netball Club will be more than welcome.
