PhDs homework

Good afternoon PhDs

I have been hugely impressed with the level of homework that has been handed in in the last few weeks.  Congratulations to YOU.  The information you've gathered has been accurate and detailed.  Together with how you've presented your findings has made for a successful combination.

Next week includes English and Maths assessments as well as basic facts and spelling, so no new homework will be given until after that.

Have a great weekend and good luck to everyone who is competitng at sport.

Rounders: Teachers v Students

 To complete the school wide rounders competition a student team was selected to play the CTAS or Chelsea Teachers All Star team. The youthful and speedy students blasted around the diamond racking up a huge score. The CTAS running around the diamond was more sedate and filled with numerous 9, 10 and 11 year olds obstacles. The final score was 78 - 72 to the students. Congratulations and see you next year for redemption.
