  • Y4 Spelling Bee Results!

    Fri 27 May 2016

    After much dedication, commitment and endeavour memorising the spelling of over one hundred words, the children of Y4 participated in the 2016 Spelling Bee, across three levels: Foundation (Y1 and 2 spellings), Intermediate (Y3 and 4 spellings) and Advanced (Y5 and 6 spellings). 

     

    The stakes were high, as were the performances of the participants. Children took part in class heats and eagerly anticipated who would make the finals at the end of the week. 

     

    The finals consisted of two rounds: the spelling of a randomly-selected ten words from their word list and then spelling words against the clock, in front of an audience - certainly a pressure situation. 

     

    Umniah (4T), Adam (4B) and Niharika (4L) won the three respective levels. All three shone, particularly during the speed round - Niharika even spelt an amazing 18 words correctly in under a minute! Miss Phillips - the adjudicator - marvelled at the standard of the competition, "Truly amazing, you should all be proud of yourselves." 

     

    Year 3 now await their turn next year, in what will be the third annual Spelling Bee - the 2017 edition. "This year's standard will be hard to top!" Mr Cumming, the official timekeeper remarked.  

     

  • Street Velodrome

    Fri 20 May 2016

    Thirty pupils from Years 3-6 had a wonderful opportunity today to take part in Street Velodrome which has been constructed in Fassnidge Park.  The children didn't take long at all getting to grips with the track and loved competing against one another in a race off with their partners.  Not only did the children have a wonderful experience, they all came away with a medal too.

  • Winners of Quad Kids Athletics Competition

    Thu 19 May 2016

    Ten Year 6 pupils (Alex, Ramel, Adonis, Bradley, Xavier, Abi, Caitlin, Ruby, Chelsea and Rataniya) represented the school last night at the Hillingdon Quad Kids Athletics Competition which was held at Hillingdon Athletics Track.  The children were competing against eleven other schools in four disciplines: 75 metre sprint, 600 metre run, standing long jump and Vortex Howler throw.  We are proud to announce that our team were declared the winners of the event winning medals and yet another trophy for the school; we are so pleased that all of their training and hard work paid off.  We now look forward to having these ten children represent the school, and the Hillingdon Borough, at Crystal Palace for the London Youth Games on Thursday 30th June.  Time to start training hard again!
