Youth Speaks Winner
Last Tuesday ten Year 6 pupils battled it out in a
Public Speaking competition judged by the RotaryClub and Mrs Nelia Phillips.Each child spoke on a
subject of his or her choice for between five and ten
minutes. The subjects were diverse and very
interesting from Common Pests to Nuclear Warfare.
The judges felt that the children were courageous to
speak in front of an audience of friends, family and
judges and commended all the children for their talks.
The winner was Tom Edwards, speaking on the
subject of Food, Glorious Food and he goes through
to the final on July 1st. The runner up was BethPritchard, followed by Abigail Blackwell.
All ten of the children were given lovely illustrated
dictionaries and certificates as prizes for taking part.
We are very grateful to the Rotary Club for this
competition and congratulate the children on their
fantastic efforts.

House Cricket
The opening game between Alexander and Churchill
ended with Alexander winning. They reachedChurchills total of 35 in 5.1 overs. Max Curtis and
Pepe Garralda guiding the team to victory without any
real scare.
Game two saw Churchill take on Cunningham.
Churchill batting first, reached a total of 42 with a
fantastic batting display from Alex Blackwell,
reaching an unbeaten 26 in 6 overs. Cunningham
looked like they had won the game needing 3 runs to
win from the final over. Alex Blackwell completed the
over for only 1 run to win an extremely close-foughtgame.
The final game saw Cunningham take on Alexander.
Cunningham batted first and very tight bowling from
Alex kept Cunningham down to just 24 runs in their 6
overs. With Alex only needing 25 to win the result
looked inevitable. However, some excellent bowling
from Cunningham, including a timely maiden from
Hamish Gardner, saw the game go down to the final
ball of the final over! Alex only needing a single to
win the tournament, Ollie Harris hit the ball straight
back to the bowler but knew he had to run. The ball
wasn't picked up cleanly, leaving Ollie Harris and
Hugo Watts to run the single needed for victory.
A fantastically contested tournament with the stand
out players being Pepe Garralda and Alex Blackwell.

to say their goodbyes to Richard and Jane Tovey, the
Friends are hosting a Farewell Summer Disco on
Wednesday 10 July. For the upper school it will start
immediately after the swimming gala, while the lower

Although the disco in the hall is completely free of
charge, the Friends will be selling refreshments (tea

and temporary tattoos in order to further our fund
raising. With this in mind please may I ask you to
ensure you and your child bring a little money into
school to purchase afternoon tea etc, at this sociable
farewell event.
We look forward to seeing you there!
