We judged some amazing work by primary students yesterday.
The range of work on offer encompassed designs for the Big Bad Pig's house, Roman mosaic designs, model cars and fairground rides.
here are some of our favourites.
A fantastic competition was fought out between the 4 Houses.
Excellent skills and a liberal approach to appropriate sporting dress were shown all round.
The eventual winners were Phoenix House with Viking, Braveheart and Griffin taking the remaining 3 places.
This was a really keenly fought competition which was battled out over 3 rounds.
Day 1 saw students from Years 7-9 representing their Houses. This was an interesting competition as 2 of the players had never played Scrabble before and, therefore, had to pick up the rules as they went along.
Kallie Horn proved to be too good for her opponents and steamed her way to victory.
Year 7-9 Results
1st : Kallie Horn : Phoenix (1 point)
2nd : Bradley Hawdon : Viking (2 points)
3rd : Richard Ezewulu : Braveheart (3 points)
4th : Arun Bains : Griffin (4 points)
Day 2 of the competition saw a near capacity crowd in C2.03 to witness the battle between House Staff.
Mr Danks, Mr Holmes, Mr Shaw and Ms Stonebanks were excellent representatives for their respective Houses and there was a great deal of tension (and some slightly unsportsman-like behaviour) before final positions were decided.
Staff Results
1st : Mr Danks : Braveheart (1 point)
2nd : Mr Holmes : Viking (2 points)
3rd : Mr Shaw : Griffin (3 points)
4th : Ms Stonebanks : Phoenix (4 points)
As word began to spread about the exciting finale to this year's competition, positions were close and there was everything to play for.
Day 3 witnessed 4 excited Year 11 students gathering to do battle. Reece Speechley played well for Viking and used his ingenuity to create some words that had never been used by an user of the English language. Robi Mohammed and Owen Coker also played well for their Houses whilst Julian Brooks reigned supreme with his masterly use of wordplay. Julian managed to haul Griffin House into joint 2nd place through his victory!
