This morning, spirits were high as Club General Knowledge took place in the Whybrow Theatre!
A group of children from FIII-FVIII, represented their respective clubs and answered a variety of general knowledge questions, which centered around subjects such as History, Music, and Geography....
The children worked together brilliantly, whilst the rest of their club cheered them on and celebrated alongside them. The final scores were extremely close, however, Carder won by just 1 point!
Well done to everybody who took part; Club competitions always prove to be a highlight of each term.

In TED (Technology, Engineering, and Design), a recent project for our FVII children has been to design and create table tennis bats.
Throughout this exciting process, the children printed their handles using a 3D printer, and created their individual, unique designs by using a laser ...cutter. Not only were FVII tasked with producing their bats, they also had to create packaging to encase them! Many of our children used Canva to do so, and we are so impressed with how professional each product looks.
FVII thoroughly enjoyed this project from start to finish, and it was a fantastic way for the children to gain further experience, using the advanced equipment provided. This morning, Jonathan and Emily put their bats to the ultimate test, and had a game of table tennis in the Quad - they worked perfectly! 🏓

Yesterday, our PP1 class began the week with a trip to the @britishmotormuseum, which is home to the world's largest collection of historic British cars!
Our children received an interactive museum walk, with a wonderful tour-guide, and were taken on a journey through time. PP1 ...experienced what it was like to own one of the first cars, and even got to dress up as they went along the 'time road'. They explored the extensive collection of 150 historic vehicles, including the 1920s London bus, and learnt how the development of the motor car has changed throughout the last century.
The children had a fantastic time delving into the wonderful world of cars, and seeing how the motor industry has significantly advanced over time.

Our Beachbots spent the weekend in Harrogate, competing in the FIRST LEGO League UK National Final!
The day began with three intense robot games, and while the first two didn't quite go to plan, our Beachbots excelled in the third and final game, and showcased their skills ...brilliantly. Not only were the children faced with a series of games, they also had to tackle the Innovation Project. This entailed presenting their app to the judges and, by all accounts, they were left impressed by their creativity and ingenuity.
James and Megan also experienced a fantastic opportunity to be interviewed, live on YouTube; they articulated themselves wonderfully, and spoke to the host with such confidence - well done, James and Megan!
We are thrilled to say that our Beachbotics team finished in 15th place, out of 74 teams in total, which is an incredible achievement! The children represented the school so well, and dazzled everybody with their professionalism, knowledge, and unity.
A special thanks goes to their dedicated mentor, Gary Foote, for his ongoing support and guidance, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for our Beachbots, Mrs Blithe, and Gary! Congratulations, team 👏

On Saturday 20th April, the Beachborough Eventer Challenge 2024 took place!
The event was a huge success, with 136 entries from schools across the country. The day consisted of a warm-up class, followed by classes 1-4, and to ensure that each class was slightly more challenging than the ...last, the jumps were increased by 10cm in height each time. The event was held as a qualifier for the NSEA Eventer Challenge Championships at Hickstead, in May - congratulations to all of those who qualified!
Thank you to our generous sponsors @bloxhamschool, @stoweschool, @tudorhallschool, and @stedwardsoxford, for sponsoring each of this year's classes. We hope that those who joined us had a fun-filled day!

This morning, we were lucky enough to welcome Lydia, Emma, and Joli, the lovely 'goldador' puppy, to Beachborough!
We are launching a new charity initiative, to support @dogsforgood_uk, and become a puppy partner. So, this morning, Emma and Lydia delivered an insightful assembly... to the children, to explain what makes Dogs for Good so special.
A trained dog supports children and adults, who find everyday life challenging, particularly those suffering with dementia, autism, or a physical disability. Dogs can be trained to open doors, call a lift, pick up shopping, help people get dressed, bark when extra help is needed, add pressure (cuddle) when someone needs reassurance, and much more; the partnership makes everyday life possible.
We are incredibly excited to support this wonderful charity, with an aim of raising £5,000 and getting the opportunity to name our own puppy! 🐾
