HOUSES

House Competition Day

This year’s House Competition Day was a great success and we were delighted with the enthusiasm, ambition and engagement shown by our students throughout the day.

All 4 Houses were well represented in the different activities that took place during the day which developed our student’s team work during the Taskmaster challenges and Field games; Skills in maths and literacy during the Countdown, and Pirate games, as well as their general knowledge during the Quiz. During a closely fought day of challenges we saw different houses come out on top in the different challenges.

On the field our students competed in Rounders and Endball games competing house against house. The weather was lovely and it was a pleasure to see everyone getting involved. Well done to Tower, the winning house on the field!

In countdown, the classic numbers and letters game, the students developed their numeracy and literacy skills, all under the timings of the countdown clock. Well done to Batemans, the winning house in Countdown.

The pirate game tested skills and strategy in placing their treasure as well as seeking to sabotage their rivals! Well done to Heffle and Tower, the winning houses in the Pirate game.

During the taskmaster challenges students were challenged by the teacher to complete bridges between tables, in tasks that challenged their numeracy, literacy and communication skills. Well done to Heffle, the winning house in Taskmaster.

Finally in the quiz the students worked in house groups testing their general knowledge including song lyrics, school places and cakes! Well done to Heffle, the winning house in the Quiz.

Overall, the final scores for the day were: Heffle: 1st, Batemans: 2nd , Tower: 3rd , Cade: 4th
