It’s been another fantastic week at Henry Chadwick! The children have been working really hard, and it’s been great to
see them reading and sharing their home reading journals in school too. We have also achieved sporting success, reaching
the finals of the area football tournament and performing superbly in the netball competition too; well done to you all and
thank you for representing the school so well. Years 5 and 6 have enjoyed their visit to the Buddhist monastery in Kings
Bromley, and I know they are really looking forward to Laches Wood next week – a true learning adventure! On a personal
note, I continue to be amazed by our children. They are a real credit to you all, and I thank you again for your support as
we help them to achieve the incredible things they so richly deserve.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend,
Mr C Gaffiney

some space at home, help the environment by recycling unwanted items, whilst also
raising money for the school. Collection includes clothing, paired shoes, handbags,
hats, bags, scarves and ties, belts, lingerie and jewellery (no uniform which has the
school logo on please). Just bring your items into school on the 18th October. Thank
you ….

bag please just ask in the office.
SPORTING ACHIEVEMENT
On Saturday, 17th September 2016, the children of Henry Chadwick were
the subject of a fantastic sporting achievement. We played in a Netball and
a Football tournament at St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School. The Football
team, consisting of captain Laurence, Alfie, Syd, Devan, Billy, Sam and Loch,
played superbly only losing out at the Semi-Final stage in a tight game that
was decided on penalties.
The Netball team of captain Emily, Louise, Amy, Isobel and Alice stormed
through to the final after winning all three of the group games. In a tightly
contested final the girls only just lost out.
Overall, a fantastic achievement which both teams can build upon for
future events. Well done to everybody involved and a huge thank you to the
parents who came along to support the school.
