• Year 5/6 Saracens Tag Rugby Festival

  Thu 11 Feb 2016 Kerri, Ollie and Mr Yoxall

  On the morning of the 11th of February some children from Year 5 and 6 went to Camelot Rugby Club to play Tag Rugby.  It was a swirling haze of children.  Our first match was against The Reddings and the final score was 5-3 to The Reddings.

   

  We had some lunch and then we were back playing again.  THis time it was against Greenways but sadly we lost with a score of 3-2.  Although we are obviously the best tag rugby team ever we did not make it through to the semi finals.

  Mr Yoxall's notes:

   

  From our team of children that went to the tag rugby we had a number of pupils who had not represented the school in a sports fixture before.  It was fantastic to see them step up and perform well whilst displaying that they were from Chambersbury.

   

  The children played 5 games at the tournament and unfortunately did not secure a win.  They came close and had chances but were held each time.  They drew two games and lost three.

   

  This has been a great warm up for them playing in the DSSN tag rugby league after the half term break.

   

  Well done everyone!

  

• Internet Safety Day

  Thu 11 Feb 2016 Mr Guilder

  On Thursday 11th February The Magic Club of Great Britain came into school to talk to children, parents and staff as part of our Internet Safety day.  Eugene shared with us some important messages about bullying and staying safe on the internet whilst performing magic tricks that blew our minds!

  
  We were reminded that

  • Bullying is when someone hurts me or says unkind things and keeps on doing it. 
  • We need to talk to an adult at home or school if we are being bullied.
  • Cyber bullying takes place on the Internet and is very serious.
  • You must be 13 or over to have a Facebook account. No child at Chambersbury should have a social media account! 
  • We use the hand of friendship to each other in school.
  • The Internet is a wonderful tool to communicate.
  • We need to keep our personal information top secret.

  

• Year 5 and 6 Football vs Holtsmere End

  Mon 08 Feb 2016 Kerri

  On Friday 5th of February we played an away match against Holtsmere End Junior School.  We were getting changed and all raring to go.  We sat down for a tactics talk.  It was then time to leave.  We got on the minibus and off we went.

   

  Eventually we got to Holtsmere End and were ready to play the match.  The scores went a bit like this; 1-0, 2-0, 2-1, 3-1 to Holtsmere!  Then it was half time.  Mr Yoxall had a team talk and we went back out for the second half.

   

  Noo!  Disaster! An own goal by Kerri made it 4-1 to Holtsmere.  We worked hard and got two more goals to make it 4-3.  The full time whistle went.  Holtsmere had won.  We dragged ourselves sadly back to the minibus and went home.

• Year 5 and 6 Football vs Brockswood

  Mon 01 Feb 2016 Kian

  Before we kicked off we did a passing drill.  Then we got underway with the first half.  We got off to a slow start with them chipping the ball over the helpless Raman.  But we didn't let this get to us and we bounced back with some lovely build up play then Archie slotting the ball past the keeper.  Later Liam passed it into Kian who bobbled it into the back of the net.  

   

  Unfortunately, very soon after we scored, Raman came out and palmed the ball down in the box straight to a Brockswood player.  They then side-footed the ball past Hayden, who was on the line (and who ended up on his bottom trying to clear the ball!)

   

  That was all in the first half.

   

  In the second half we were the better side with Kian scoring another two goals with a bit of luck.  We battled hard to keep the scoreline the same, but there were some scary moments trying to do this.  Then the final whistle went and the scoreline was 4-2 to Chambersbury.
