NEWS FROM THE SPORTSMASTER
On Friday last week our U10 cricket team took on The Beacon. The A team pulled off an excellent victory by bowling out The Beacon for 45 runs.
This Monday provided our athletes their first opportunity to compete against another school as we travelled to Holme Grange School. The pupils gained experience on the track and field during this event. The boys competed extremely well with many of our athletes winning their races. Special mention goes to the relay teams who performed superbly.
The U9 teams have had a busy week playing four fixtures against Davenies on Tuesday and five fixtures against Moulsford on Thursday. We had huge success at Moulsford winning three out of the five fixtures. All U9 players have made huge improvements in their bowling and batting technique since the start of the term.
The U11 teams took on Davenies on Wednesday. Mr Goddard and Mr Leuzinger were hugely impressed with the quality of cricket being played by the U11A & B teams as they both recorded excellent victories against their opposition.
NEWS FROM THE CHESS MASTER
Off to Bristol...
Bristol Grammar School will be the venue for tomorrow's EPSCA tournament. Arrival in Bristol between 8am and 9am in the morning will mean a very early start and a very long day.
Thank you to all boys and parents for supporting school chess through this event. No uniform is required.
And in closing...
A picture has emerged from the Delancey Megafinal showing three of our Claires Court Qualifiers relaxing after the tournament. This can be found in the gallery. We do not know the result of this friendly, but understand that there are several organisers (out of shot) waiting to pack away. Needless to say they were made to wait.

Summer Festival - 24 June 2017
‘BETTER ALL TOGETHER’
As announced recently, this year our fete is a ‘festival’ with a theme about the bringing communities of the world together. Whilst Junior Boys host the event it is a collaboration of effort from pupils, teachers and parents right across Claires Court.
To any individual entrepreneurs out there. Would you like to take a stall at the summer fete this year? The PTA’s key aspect this year is the bustling Summer Market so if you have a venture already underway and would like the opportunity to promote your product please complete the form or contact: ccjbsummer@gmail.com
RABBITS
Our Rabbit winners this week are Alfie Sidders (2Y) and Ethan Olikara (2Y). Alfie has been very well behaved, polite and he is always his ‘Best Self’. Ethan has shown great sportsmanship during his sport lesson. He helped to sort out cricket bats and was thoughtful towards his classmates. Both boys are worthy winners of the Rabbit this week.
