West Wimbledon Primary School - Spring Term 2015

Chess Champions 

On Sunday 1st March, six children from West Wimbledon participated in the Surrey West Champion's League chess tournament at Wimbledon Park primary school. What a remarkable achievement for the West Wimbledon team! 

Artur Imykshenov, Mostafa Ahmed (captain), Isaac Moore and Noah Moore achieved gold medals from amongst the nine schools which took part. To put icing on this achievement, Noah Moore won all the five games and got a cash prize. In the individual events, Samuel, Year 4, and Timothy, Year 2, won joint second place. 

Congratulations to the players who qualified for the finals to be held in May. 

Trip to Gatton Park 

Year 1 enjoyed a trip to Gatton in beautiful sunshine. The children took part in lots of Activities; creating their own mini Japanese gardens and giant mini-beast sculptures using natural materials. We spent the afternoon using different measuring equipment to measure the circumference of trees and the distance between trees. 

We finished the afternoon with a game of stuck in the mud in the beautiful grounds. 

Fancy Joining a Choir? 

At the end of February, Reverend Richard Lane and the Musical Director of Christ Church, Richard Hall, came to visit the children in their weekly singing assembly. The children had fun taking part in some unusual voice and body warm ups and learnt a beautiful song with signed actions. 

The church is currently recruiting for members of their children’s choir and a warm invitation is extended to all at West Wimbledon Primary School. Children and their families do not need to be regular church goers to attend or even need to be able to read music. Rehearsals take place during term time on Fridays at 6.30pm at Christ Church, Copse Hill, West Wimbledon.
