Beauty and the Beast

What a wonderful finale to 4 weeks hard work! To see so many parents, governors and friends of the school in our audiences made the performances really happy occasions for both the children and adults together. The talent displayed by the boys and girls in both performances was amazing – the acting, the singing, the musicians, the dancing and of course the back stage team. Very well done to you all and thank you for the fun.

A very big thank you goes to Mrs. Ord, Mrs. Robertson, Mrs. Osborn, Mrs. Davies and Mrs Gilly Woods for all the support they gave the children in achieving such success but above all we say thank you to Mrs Shelton under whose able direction Great Horwood once again had reason to celebrate.

Super Cook Final

Four children ‘took to the kitchen’ last Friday morning to compete in the final stages of Super Cook, a competition that has been running now for several years in the school.
Maddie Simpson and Hannah Bryant from Year 6, together with Evan Carter and Amber Illman from Year 5 had an hour and a half to produce a two course meal.
We are very grateful to two chefs from Pregs in Buckingham who kindly agreed to come and judge the competition and after a very difficult task, declared Maddie the winner with Evan, Hannah and Amber joint 2nd.
All four children were presented with a cook book, and Maddie was presented with the Toby Terklesen Super Cook Trophy which was presented for the first time by Theo in an assembly at the end of the day.
Well done and thank you to everyone who helped make the competition such fun from start to finish.

Sports Day 2010

Having taken part in running races yesterday morning, today the whole school enjoyed a brilliant afternoon of sports. The sun shone throughout and in teams of 12 all named after countries, children enjoyed taking part in a range of exciting activities. Parents and families provided wonderful support and encouragement while the PTA served a range of delicious refreshments. Before Mr. Norman Ellison declared Iceland the winners, the PTA kindly provided everyone with an ice lolly to cool them down.

A big thank you to everyone who played a part in making the afternoon so successful.

GREAT HORWOOD’S HOCKEY TRIUMPH!
31st March 2010
Yesterday evening at Buckingham Upper School, Great Horwood years 3 and 4 played in a quick-stick hockey competition. Great Horwood hockey team all said “We really think we can win this.”
The first match was against Bourton Meadow and they played extremely well. Great Horwood won 4-1 and Sam Bryant scored a hat-trick. The second match was against Winslow and Great Horwood won 3-1, although Owen Davies was on the bench, they still won as Henry Fuggle scored a hat-trick. Sam Bryant said “ We have to win or draw the next match to get the shield and proceed to the finals at Stoke Mandeville Sports Centre.”
The Great Horwood team drew with Swanborne in the end but it didn’t matter because they still won the shield!
