12 July 2013 Summer Term: No 12

Sports Day 2013—a real winner! The weather couldn’t have been any

be�er for our Sports Day—a nice cool

breeze in the morning kept the dis-

tance runners happy, but by lunch

time the sun was out offering ideal

conditions for a family picnic. The

children all entered into the spirit of

the day with healthy competition

everywhere you looked. Thanks to

Mrs Perkins and Miss Prophet for

co-ordinating the day and to all who

came along to support the children.

July Value of the Month—Adventure The first adventure most of us have had, took place in our

imagination. We read about Jack Stalwart’s adventures in other

countries, or got engrossed in the Beast Quest series and imagined

what it would be like to be part of that adventure. Maybe we

watched a superhero programme on TV or at the cinema and

imagined what it was like to have their super powers? Adventure

normally means something a bit scary and unexpected. But having

a sense of adventure is what makes life fun and is something we

want to value at Tadworth. You see, learning new things is like

being on an adventure. You never know where a topic will lead,

and how the experience might change you in some way. It might

include learning about a subject you knew nothing about and

thought was really boring, until someone helped you see why it

was interesting. Adventure might include visiting new places. It

can be exciting to spend a day or longer away from school learning

what it’s like to be in a new routine e.g. Alfriston or Sayers Croft. It

can even be an adventure to get to know a friend be�er – visiting

their house and learning about their family. We want to develop a

sense of adventure as we enter every day. You never know what it

may hold. New friends? New ideas?

Discovering something about yourself that you didn’t expect to

find? When a group of children have an adventure in books, you

often find that there’s at least one who is very reluctant and would

rather be back home watching TV! We miss out on so much if we

decide we can’t be bothered. It’s so much be�er to be commi�ed to

a sense of adventure in whatever we do. You never know what is

going to stir in you that becomes an important hobby or even

career. So today, can be a new adventure. Are you ready? NP

Wimbledon Tennis Hits Tadworth Last week the Year Four children hosted our annual event to

raise money for charity. Our ‘Wimbledon’ day is a day full of

tennis and refreshments and all profits go to our charity, Great

Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). This year we raised £205

which will be added to Miss Sharp’s sponsorship from her

triathlon event. We were lucky enough to have Ollie (Harry

Drake’s brother) and Mr Gale (our parent governor) support us

on the day and ensure that the tennis matches ran smoothly.

Maybe there will be a few Andy Murrays and Laura Robsons in

the making after the event! In the afternoon, a nurse from GOSH

came to visit us to explain about what our money will go

towards. We had a fantastic day and were really pleased that the

effort the Year 4s put into organising the event had raised so

much money. Thank you to everyone who contributed.

and joined in with the theme. Thank you all so much for the

delicious homemade cakes and for coming along to enjoy the

event. The afternoon included Lucky Dip, Face Painting and
