Congratulations to Rowan Kent (Under 8) and Marina Pommier (Under 9), Jake Cartwright (Under 12) and Lai Chun (Under 18) who became Suffolk Chess champions yesterday. Indeed Rowan, who is not yet 7 won his tournament with a perfect score of 6 wins from 6 games! Great credit also goes to the other Abbey and Woodbridge students who took part. There were numerous other good performances and it was particularly encouraging to see so many students in the younger age groups taking part.
Staying on chess and the final four of the Year 7 Mileham shield have been decided. This tournament, which has been running throughout the Lent term has enabled all Year 7s to take part. Congratulations to Tobias Juszt, Talia Fawcett, Thomas McNally and Jake Cartwright for getting this far.
Today the Suffolk Police visited Queen’s House. They talked to the Reception children about how they help people in the local community. The children were so engaged and inspired by the police visit asking and answering questions throughout the morning. They particularly enjoyed dressing up in the police uniforms and hats and exploring the police car!
Chapel Choir came together on Thursday March 10 to sing Compline, an ancient form of night prayer using plainsong. It was a very spiritual moment of reflection in a busy day, and everyone benefited from the tranquility of this very special service.
Connie’s Grandad visited Queen’s House to talk to the Reception children about being a Fireman. The children were very interested to learn all about the dangers of fire, what to do if there is a fire and most importantly how they can take precautions against fires starting in the first place. After dressing up their teacher in a Fireman’s outfit the children were keen to try on Connie’s Grandads helmet.
The Reception children celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as their favourite Book character. Captain Hook’s pirates had told the children that they had lost their treasure. The children then took part in a treasure hunt in the Queen’s House garden and thankfully all the coins were found!
