Chess
Before Easter, Year 2 took part in a Chess Masterclass. Mr Tuck was very impressed by the attitude of the boys, as well as how quickly they grasped the various concepts taught. Brandon, Zachary and Kieran won chess badges for their performances in the session. Well done to all Year 2! If your son is interested in having chess lessons with Mr Tuck, please do email me rih@clairescourt.net.
Our Delancey Chess tournament has come to a conclusion. Congratulations to all those who took part and especially to:
Tom A (Overall winner and top Year 6)
Kanishka S (2nd overall)
Ben N (3rd overall)
Henry P (Top Year 5)
Henry W and Raefe K (Joint Top Year 4)
Murray H (Top Year 3)
As said before, qualification for the later rounds is no longer required, so I repeat my call for all parents whose sons are interested to click on the link and enter the next stage of the competition directly via the website. Please let me know if you are entering. Places are filling up fast!
