Junior Muay Thai

At Junior Muay Thai we don't only practice punching and kicking. We also do exercise to help strengthen our muscles and improve our balance.

Table Tennis team

The focus today was on footwork in order to get the body into position for playing strokes. We also focussed on chop ball - keeping the ball short.

Happy training this week!

A slow start back to the new half-term with not all the potential team-members able to make it. However, the attendees practised hard and made progress with their forehand topspin against block stroke.

Homework will be set tonight for testing next Wednesday! Have a great week playing the prince of ball games!

Pat vs. Peak

The focus was on backhand topspin today.
Peak helped his peers with some useful feedback..

History Club

In History Club this week, we have been learning about Jack the Ripper and the terrible murders he committed in the late 1800s in the East End of London. We are learning this topic as the members of History Club had recently heard about Jack the Ripper and really wanted to learn more about him and the murders.

Table Tennis 25.9.2014

Hi,

With many of the U15s busy with other sporting commitments, it was a quiet session today. However, there were some scintillating rallies, especially from Pat and Peak.

I look forward to posting some pictures next week (once my smartphone is up and running).

Have a good week team and keep practising whenever you can.

Chess requires a lot of concentration!

Muay-Thai Exercise

We practiced sit ups to make our core strong. This will help us when we learn to kick.

Mind Control Tricks

This week in Magic we delved into our magic bags and chose our 'Mind Control' trick to learn. What card will you choose?!

Long Time No See

Between half-term breaks and bank holidays The Media Club had not met for a looooooong time...but this just meant that we'd more to discuss! We caught up about our Songkran celebrations and then got down to work, researching everything from Ascot news to global news. Look out for our next issue that has a list of recommendations for books, movies and music to keep you entertained. 

Chess Club

Chess Club involves students in both Primary and Secondary, and what a fantastic mix it has turned out to be. Competition was rife today when I visited these dedicated chess players. I hope they didn't mind the interruption...

The Mathematics Club

Today, students were continuing their hard work in The Mathematics Club, alongside their very friendly and helpful teachers...
