Good Luck to our Wales Adventure Trippers
Stop Press! 1 Calendar Addition Y7 Visit the Oval Monday 20th June Issue 1019 10 June 2016 Good Luck to our Wales Adventure Trippers This Week A long week of examination pressure, super cricket results, a new Music & Drama suite and even an exciting camping expedition. What a busy week! Despite this I hope I will be forgiven for focusing on this morning’s events when we welcomed some very special guests to our school. There was an air of excitement within the pupil body as we all approached Church. Children waved and smiled at their grandparents who had come to see them for the morning. It was a wonderful day, fully covered as you read on. I would like to thank the ‘stars of the day’ for visiting us, the children for being such excellent hosts, the staff for helping to coordinate events and, of course, Tina, Lisa and Angie for providing such a lovely cream tea. Enjoy your evening. New Drama Department It is with great excitement that we would like to announce the official opening of our brand new MUSIC & DRAMA department! There has been some big changes made over half-term to the music room and we also now have our very own drama studio as part of this department. We would like to thank Mr Timmermans and the Zestan Ltd team for their generous sponsorship and hardwork over half term to bring us this stunning new drama room for our learners to use, enjoy and be creative in. We are also in the process of applying to become a LAMDA drama examination centre. Just like our current music lessons arrangements, we are planning on pre- senting 1:1 LAMDA drama exam lessons during school time, as part of our ever expanding co-curricular activities at Chinthurst. Furthermore we are also planning on entering each Year group for a group LAMDA drama exam during the academic year, as part of the Music & Drama curriculum. We would like to invite parents to pop in when you are at school to come and see our brand new department and rooms and also meet our new Head of Music and Drama! Table for 26 Please Last weekend a number of Dad's from Reception to Y5 went on a camping trip to Lewes in East Sussex. Everyone met up at the camp site early on Saturday morning and got the tents pitched and the camp ready then we headed to Brighton Marina for some lunch. After parking and looking for somewhere to eat we chanced on Pizza Express who looked a little surprised when we asked for a table for 26 please!!. Back to the camp site after lunch for some fun and games, cricket and Frisbee being the favourites followed by a BBQ and a few beers for the Dad's and fizzy pop and giant marshmallows round the camp fire for the children... and some Dad's too. After a late night and early start we all packed up and left for home on Sunday Morning having thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. 2 At today’s church assembly: the qualities of grandparents $) $" ($' " ) ! &"$ $ # "$ " "$ *" "$( " ! *$" * ( "# !

Electing to ball first, Chinthurst started brightly with our opening bowlers George Pearce and Archie Russell-Smith bowling beautifully and restricting run scoring opportunities to an absolute minimum, with George also taking 2 wickets. With supporting bowlers James Hammond, Alex Kuleshov, Beau Booth and Zac Dance also amongst the wickets it was great afternoons bowling. Onto our batting and again the boys played wonderfully well with opening pairing George and James taking us above our target and to the win after just 6 overs before being retired. Jason and Henry added more runs before the heavens opened and everyone was rushed inside to a welcome drink and treat. Overall it was a pleasure to umpire my first Colts game and I look forward to working with this talented team in the future. SN Colts A v Ewell Castle Won by 33 runs We welcomed Ewell Castle to TCC on a hot and sunny day (more of that later). We got off to an excellent start with Alex McWilliam and William Raymond putting on exactly 50 for the first wicket in 8 overs, Alex falling for a fine 17, with 2 fours. What happened next was a truly ruthless and superbly executed stand of 101 in 7 overs, between William and Ben Butterfield. Ben was first out after scoring 48 with 8 fours and a huge six, he was however to be outscored by William who scored 60 with 10 fours. Another 50 partnership this time unbroken from Jasper Lawler 14no, 2 fours and Louis Russell 29no with 4 fours and an even bigger six. At half time the boys were confident, but also with a determination to do well in front of the assembled group of parents....then it got dark after 4 overs with EC on 10-1, then the thunder started, then the lightning....all very frightening...then came the rain and that was that. Ewell Castle had to score at 10.65 runs per over, 5 overs of the innings constitutes a game and when the rain came they were already 33 runs behind the "par" Jacobs/ 11 Beadle/Neal score. The best colts batting performance I've seen by this team, and one wonders what would the seasons results would have been if it hadn't rained on most Wednesdays before we got started. Well done to all concerned, that is the benchmark! MJ Colts B vs Ewell Castle Won by 10 wickets On what started out as a rather humid summer’s afternoon but soon turned into something out of a Hollywood blockbuster depicting the near end of the world; the Colts B team arrived at Tadworth Cricket Club to face Ewell Castle. Charlie Nichol, our captain for the day won the toss and chose to bowl. With a win in mind we started sharply with some dominant deliveries from the very first over. From this point on the innings and indeed the match became rather one-sided with the team unrelenting in their pressure upon the opposition. This ensured a relatively safe run chase of 38 to win off 20 overs. However, just when you think it’s all over, Mother Nature must a play part. A very dark, almost purple-looking cloud began to spread over the horizon, with no breaks in its formation. We knew it was going to rain and indeed rain a lot. The question was could we reach the required 38 in time or was this going to be a most undeserving draw. Ben Webster and Zac Smith came to our rescue with a very fine batting performance, which (with some gentle persuasion by a certain umpire to hit and run, hit and run…) we managed to chase down the total just in time. For having shaken hands and started walking to the pavilion, the heavens quite literally ‘opened’ and with it brought thunderous clashes entwined with aweinspiring streaks of light. The phrase “in the nick of time” just doesn’t quite do it…! A wonderful performance by the whole team with our unbeaten season still intact! Thank you for the parental support (and especially to Mr Nichol for the most pertinent weather updates). WB Junior A’s vs Ewell Castle Won by 53 runs. The Junior A’s arrived at Tadworth Cricket Club with a view to extending their unbeaten season of cricket. Upon the arrival of our opposition for the day; Ewell Castle, 2 x 6 ball over pairs cricket was to be the format for the afternoon. Ewell Castle won the toss and chose to bowl, meaning that a solid foundation of runs was required in order to put our opposition under increasing pressure come their batting innings. I am very glad to report that our batting performance was very steady throughout with some wondrous shots being played. The highlight of our batting innings must be Master Mcloughlin’s wondrous knock of 27 runs off a maximum of two overs; pretty impressive figures to say the least. The final tally displayed 177 runs, a most impressive score. We knew now that if we could bowl straight and field efficiently, the match should be Junior B v Ewell Castle Won by 50 runs We jumped in the mini bus on a hot and sunny day to play Ewell Castle in our first game following the half term break. Captain Sebastian Hulme lost the toss and we were inserted, we scored consistently throughout our innings, lost one wicket through a run out and generally batted very well. Sixes were hit by Sebastian (twice) and Henry Sergeant who's six actually went into the bushes at TCC. Our pairs scored as follows: James Hall and Henry S 15 and 27. Lucas Davies and Frank Whitby 23. Toby Street and Charlie Caldecott 13. Sebastian and Henry Robinson 25. Oliver Burton and Oliver Hain 8. At the half time break we talked about accuracy in our bowling - and we duly delivered, wickets were taken by Sebastian, Oliver B, Henry S and Frank - Frank bowled the first ever pairs wicket maiden I've seen for Chinthurst. We've previously bowled more than 40% of our balls as wides or no balls. Today it was under 35%, keep focussing and keep practicing, this was shown by all the wickets we took as being clean bowled. Well done everyone, a pleasing performance topped off 12 with superb behaviour and sportsmanship. MJ Junior C v Ewell Castle Won by 67 runs Ewell Castle – 262 runs Chinthurst – 329 runs On a muggy afternoon at TCC the Junior ‘C’ team enjoyed their finest afternoon of the cricket season yet, ending the day with a resounding victory over a talented Ewell Castle side. Winning the toss and deciding to bowl, our intrepid pupils showed that hard work most certainly pays off with an exhibition of massively improved bowling. In 12 overs Chinthurst restricted Ewell Castle to just 62 runs in total, with noticeably fewer wide and no balls and some excellent wickets taken by Jude, Toby and Jacob amongst others. Batting against an equally strong bowling line up, our openers Harry and Jude showed what huge strides they have made recently, spraying the ball around the pitch and nicking some cheeky singles into the bargain. This was followed up by an excellent display by ‘the Brothers Briggs’ who formed an equally strong partnership, and latterly the rest of the team. Top marks for the day go to something un-cricket related however, and I am so pleased with the boys’ behaviour when waiting to bat, as well as in the field, where the team where so much more on the ball this week. This has been something of a learning curve, and I am so proud of everyone for showing such good manners and behaviour.
