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':

Year 5 -  Anita M (India) for trying her best to go beyond the possible each day and has really developed her resilience in writing and maths this year. We are all very proud of her!

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

Jake W (Fiji)

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

I'm excited to nominate Jake for the Excellence Award. His hard work and talent have earned him a spot in a top sports academy next year. Jake's dedication to training and his impressive athletic skills make him stand out. He's a great leader and a supportive teammate, inspiring everyone around him.
Jake's natural talent and commitment to excellence are exceptional. He's a great role model and truly deserves this award.

Finley C (Fiji)

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

Finley has been awarded a Jack Petchey Award! His unwavering dedication to football and his commitment to his teammates have earned him this recognition. Finley's passion for the sport and his outstanding teamwork set him apart. He leads by example and constantly supports his peers.

Congratulations, Finley, on this well-deserved honor!

Charlie G (Australia)

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

On Friday, we were learning algebra in our Maths lesson and some of the children (including this one!) were dreading it. However, he was absolutely on a roll from the get go! He solved tricky equations, and was showing off his problem-solving skills when he was explaining to the class how he found an answer. Not only did he get the concepts himself, but he also jumped in to help classmates who were struggling, proving he is also a great teammate! Sometimes Charlie can get frustrated if he doesn't understand a concept and will often give up so seeing this resilience from him and enjoying finishing the maths challenges was excellent to see!

Eliza S (India)

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

This student is incredibly respectful at all times. She has fantastic manners, is proactive and is always ready to help her peers at any time. She is a brilliant role model to the rest of the class and I can rely on her to demonstrate politeness at all times of the school day. I am incredibly proud of her and think she thoroughly deserves this badge. 

Alfie B (Brazil)

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

This child has showed a real passion and determination outside of school when competing in Martial Arts. He has shown resilience and confidence in the stages of Martial Arts, and has had to lead others by demonstrating different moves. He has achieved his red belt and is on his way to his black belt, which is a fantastic achievement! He strives for excellence in Martial arts, which translates to his school learning as well. He should be really proud of himself, as much as Class Brazil are!

Raya L (Canada)

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

Learning looks different for everyone, but this member of our class has made such great progress in so many aspects in Year 2 that it has to be celebrated. She has become such an independent learner, although now readily accepts help when something is challenging. She is someone who always contributes well to class discussions, which she could find challenging at the start of the year,  and does her best in every lesson, although her progress in Maths has really shone through! We are all incredibly proud of her.

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

A Day of Fun and Fair Play at the Year 2 Football Festival

The sun was shining, and the excitement was in the air as the Year 2 football festival kicked off. Children from various teams turned up eager and ready to play, showing off their skills and teamwork on the field.

Throughout the day, the young players demonstrated great sportsmanship. Whether they won or lost, the children handled the outcomes gracefully and with respect for their opponents. 

After each match, the teams congratulated one another, embodying the spirit of fair play.

The festival was not just a showcase of athletic talent but also of camaraderie and kindness. Spectators were quick to comment on how well the children played and how wonderfully kind our players were both on and off the field.

In Miss Macdonald's absence, Mrs. Hurford stepped in to support the team. She was blown away by the children's behavior and their exemplary attitude; she praised their kindness, cooperation and strong sense of teamwork.

The day concluded with happy smiles and lasting memories. This festival was a reminder of the importance of teaching young athletes not only how to play the game but also how to be good sports. We look forward to seeing even more of this positive spirit in future events!

Team: Dylan (USA), Elis (USA), Eesa (Mexico), Hector (Mexico), Louie (USA), Harlie (USA) and Millie (Mexico).

Clockhouse Chip, Put and Drive their way through Competition

Clockhouse took part in the Havering Tri Golf festival, taking 10 children from Year 4 to compete in the event. 

Battling through the cold and windy conditions, the children took part in 8 activities to test their golf skills. They got to use a range of golf clubs whilst being tested on their driving, chipping and putting. Throughout the event, many of the sports leaders supporting the event commented on the ability of the children and how Clockhouse was one of the top performing schools on the day. 

Clockhouse amassed 732 points throughout the day and although no results were given, the organisers commented on the phenomenal performance of Clockhouse in the bullseye event. 

The children had a great time and it was lovely to see them all supporting and encouraging each other throughout the day and applying the skills they have learnt in PE into a new environment. 

Frankie (South Africa), Stanley (South Africa), Freddy (Kenya), Kiki (Kenya), Sophie (Kenya), Abeer (Kenya), David (Kenya), George (Uganda), Harrison (Uganda) and Hugo (Uganda).

I am incredibly proud of her, and so pleased for her too!  

Congratulations Daisy, you are a star!
