U9A Rounders v Cumnor – Won 16½ – 6½
Well what a promising start to the season for the U9′s, and how nice to be playing rounders finally and to see the sun!! Amber captained the side today and got the team off to a good start by winning the toss and choosing to field first. All of the U9′s were nervous to begin with but as the innings went on they got tighter with their fielding, and there was some great work from Amber as backstop, Yelena as bowler and Ami on second post keeping the scoreline low and only allowing Cumnor to score from few opportunities.

Oliver Blake evades detection in the Surrey Scouts Colditz Challenge
Oliver Blake (yr 7) was chosen to represent his scout group at the Surrey Colditz challenge. The teams are dropped at an unknown location at 10pm and have to make their way to the HQ. En route they have to complete various challenges make all the checkpoints and deal with an incident all without detection from the spotters. His team reached the HQ at 2.30am a very reasonable time. Teams still out at 5.30am have to retire. They covered over 10 miles during one of our wettest nights!

Radio 2 500 words short story
Mrs Wade has entered Ella Bain’s story into the Radio 2 500 words competition. I hope when you have read this you will understand why. A writer in the making! The Beach Dog Luke walked across the glimmering water. Tears falling with a splash! The sea eating them as they had eaten something else before. He walked off leaving the beach where he once felt at home, now it was the saddest place in the world. “Luke come on, you need to stay at home when the sun goes down!” yelled his mum with loneliness in her heart as well. read the full post »
