Year Eight 

The theme this term has been inspiration and there has been no shortage of opportunities for Year 8 pupils to be encouraged towards future greatness.

Football

With over 30 boys regularly training, selection is becoming a bit of a headache for Mr Edwards.  In the last game Chew got revenge for an early season defeat at Priory by winning 5-3 in the Somerset Cup.  Chew led 3-0 at the break with the highlight being a fantastic 30 yard effort by Joe Calverley. Having lost the influential Toby Harding early in the second half the fear was that heads would drop. However, with Matt Penny dominating at the back and Louis Crimmons providing some pinpoint passing Chew went a further two goals in front before easing off the gas and conceding two soft goals.   Good luck for the quarter finals!

Hockey

The year 8 Hockey team are yet to play the majority of their matches but have already clocked up an impressive 3-0 win against Norton Hill. Attendance at Hockey club has once again been impressive by this very keen and talented group; with over 20 girls vying for a place in the 7 a side team! Well done girls and good luck for the remainder of the season!

Year 7 & 8 Football Tournament

Over 50 boys from years 7 & 8 braved arctic conditions as Chew held a Year 7 ‘a’ side football tournament on the Astroturf. Eight teams entered including from Year 8 Chocolate Money, Naan Breads R Us, Connor’s Crumpets, Dream Team, Coolio Beans Utd and No Name.  Year 7 were represented by The Randoms.  There was some great football played on the night with Jack Greenslade (Year 7) standing out with some scintillating dribbling skills.  Josh Tamlin and Connor Davies shone for Year 8 showing some great finishing skills.  Harry Marsh, making his debut for the inaptly named Dream team, managed to concede 26 goals in seven games and Will Hosier impressed all with his ability to kick the ball with his foot, knee and shin at the same time. Thanks to Messrs Monk, Hankins and Franklin.

Mastermind

The annual Mastermind competition saw seven hopefuls battle their way through a tutor group quiz to compete in the final.  Ella Scott, Natalie Ward and Dan Ryan joined returning finalists Tom Stone, George Phillips, Joe Calverley and Joss Barker in an enthralling final hosted by Mr Brown. The specialist subjects included Harry Potter, Call of Duty and Futurama. Ella Scott emerged as victor answering all her specialist questions on Paralympic swimmer Ellie Simmonds correctly.  Well done Ella!
