Hot Chocolate with the Head

As you all know we are constantly striving to improve Clockhouse for your children. 

This year we are all trying our best to go 'Beyond the Possible' in everything to ensure that our school is a fabulous place to be and the children get the best all round experience possible. Each week, the Heads of Year as well as Miss Ward, Mrs Reinecke and Mrs Savidge choose a person (child or adult) who has been seen to do this and then they get to have Hot Chocolate with Mrs Savidge!

This week the following Clockhouse Citizens have been seen to going 'Beyond the Possible':

Clockhouse Weekly Wow

Here is last week's Weekly Wow and as usual there were a lot of things to 'wow' about last week.

Time to CELEBRATE - Value Champion Alert!

We are very excited and pleased to share with you that we have more Clockhouse Value Champions of 2023-2024!

A huge congratulations to

Lucas P (Fiji)

who has earned the Learning Champion Award for 2023-2024!

Lucas has been working super hard with his learning this term. He is progressing onto our year 6  maths challenges and has also started to complete homework. We are all very proud of him.

Ruby B (New Zealand)

who has earned the Learning Champion Award for 2023-2024!

Has shows everyday how dedicated she is to her learning and achieving the goals that she sets herself. The progress she has made so far this year has been wonderful to see and I could not be more prouder of her. Whilst her amazing dedication is evident in all of her lessons, I think it has never been more obvious than in her maths learning. Everyday she challenges herself and pushes herself in understanding the maths skills and challenges that he encounters and the perseverance she shows in learning is a model to her fellow pupils. 

Lois M (China)

who has earned the Excitement Champion Award for 2023-2024!

This person went beyond the possible when competing in the English Karate Championships. Taking part in two events, the individual and team Kumite, they won silver in the individual event and bronze in the team event, meaning that, for their age group, they are one of the very best in this event in the whole country. Not only that, but this person then brought the excitement of her achievement into the classroom, showing her medals to the other children and demonstrating moves up at the front, before answering questions from the class. We're unbelievably proud of her in Class China, well done Lois!

Harold H (Kenya)

who has earned the Learning Champion Award for 2023-2024!

Since starting Year 4, Harold has continued to progress in his learning with a resilient mindset. He takes on challenges with a smile and listens carefully to feedback. He is a pleasure to have in the classroom and I am thrilled to be giving him this well-deserved award! 

Lottie R (Canada)

who has earned the Learning Champion Award for 2023-2024!

She always tries her best to succeed in all lessons. She readily shares ideas and constantly reflects on her opinions, as well as considering the opinions of others. She never gives up, even when learning is challenging. She recalls prior learning readily and makes links between different subjects. She is a great role model to the class and has truly earnt being recognised as the fabulous learner she is! 

 

A huge well done from everyone at Clockhouse - wear your Values Champion Badge with pride!

Road Safety for Year 1, 2, 3 and 4

Year 1, 2, 3 and 4 enjoyed watching a show all about Road Safety. There were some very important messages and the children listened to these and responded so well.

Please do talk to your children about this important aspect of their safety.

Year 1 learn to use a knife and fork!

As part of our Life Skills curriculum, Year 1 have been busy learning the important life skill of how to use a knife and fork correctly.

Ask them to show you at dinner time.

Amazing result for Year 3 and 4 Athletics Team

Our Year 3 and 4 Athletics team had their first competition of the year as a new team when taking part in the yearly Indoor Athletics tournament. The team faced a number of challenging schools from across the borough and took part in several track and field events. From the moment the team left the school, their behaviour was impeccable when travelling on public transport to the Hornchurch Sports Complex and this continued throughout the afternoon. The team demonstrated outstanding discipline, showcasing their respect for both their competitors and the team.

The team were excited to put to use the training they had been doing at school, arriving ready and striving to take part in their allocated events for the day. The teams were consistent in all races when crossing the line in the top 3. They did a fantastic job when tackling the field events, in fact they 'smashed it'! Taking on the long jump, vertical jump, chest push, javelin, speed bounce and a challenging five stride which they took time to practice and perfect in training.

The team finished with a very well deserved 2^nd place in their heat, the team were truly outstanding the whole afternoon and did a fantastic job in all events and races! 

Great job Team Clockhouse!
