On Thursday 24th May nine children in Year 6 represented the school in a mixed Handball competition at Kings Heath Boys School.
In total four teams entered the competition, including Chilcote, and each team played each other once. If there was a tie on points at the end of the mini league then the positions would be determined on the head-to-head results between the two tied schools.
In their first match Chilcote played against Kings Norton and took an early setback when conceding from Kings Nortons first attack. However, they rallied and equalised through Madison. They then took the lead through another goal from Madison. Unfortunately, Kings Norton managed to get an equaliser of their own and make it 2v2. Just before the end though Josh had a shot which squirmed through the goalkeepers hands and meant Chilcote won the match 3v2.
In their second game Chilcote struggled against the Oaks. The Oaks dominated the match and really found their shooting hands. Chilcote did take the lead but due to some poor marking ended up losing the match 6v2.
For their final game Chilcote played against Hollywood and recovered from their previous defeat playing their best handball of the day. They made quick passes and took their chances really well. They defended much better too. The game finished 4v1 to Chilcote.
The league finished as follows:
1) Chilcote 6
2) Kings Norton 6
3) The Oaks 4
4) Hollywood 1
Therefore, Chilcote won the tournament courtesy of their win against Kings Norton in the first match. A fantastic achievement, well done to all of the children involved in the tournament!!!

Summer concerts
On Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd May, we held our annual school summer concerts during which our fantastic musicians performed for their families.
On Monday, Infant Choir and Junior choir sang a variety of different songs, and our recorder group and our guitarists performed to an enthusiastic audience.
On Tuesday, our Orchestra, String sextet and brass band all played as well as our violin, viola and cello players who performed solos and in small groups. Our brass solos and groups were performed by cornets, trumpets, french horns and our solo trombonist and solo euphonium player. We also enjoyed lively performances from our dhol druming groups.
Both evenings were a real treat for both audiences and the children performed to a high standard, showing the progress they had all made this year.
Thank you to all our families who have supported the children in their practice all year.
A big thank you to our dedicated peripatetic music teachers-Miss Hobbs, Mr Fisher, Mr Chamberlain, Mr Singh and Mrs Mulenga who inspire us all each week.

The Circus Came to Chilcote
During our topic, The Circus is Coming to Town, we have learnt lots about circuses, both modern and old. Today we were lucky enough to take part in a fantastic workshop where we learnt lots of different skills used by real circus performers.
We tried out a range of exciting activities such as juggling with scarves and balls, playing with flower sticks, spinning plates and balancing on different things. We even became tightrope walkers!
At the end of the day we put on a show for each other - it certainly was the greatest show on earth!

Year 4 Super 4s Athletics
On Wednesday 17th May, ten children from Year 4 represented Chilcote in a mixed Super 4s Athletics tournament at Kings Heath Boys’ School.
In total seven teams took part. A team was made up of five boys and five girls. Each child had to do a sprint, a 400m run, a throw and a standing long jump. The best 4 tikes/distances were taken from boys and girls in each team and converted to points to give an overall points score for each school.
The Chilcote boys did particularly well at throwing and the Chilcote girls did really well at the standing long jump. In all fairness all if the athletes did well at all of the events.
When all of the points were calculated the finishing positions for each school were as follows:
1) Chilcote
2) Kings Norton
3) Hollywood
4) Yardley Wood
5) Hollywood B
6) Bells Farm
7) Grendon

A special mention must go to James who managed to finish as the third highest scoring boy in the whole competition!
Well done to all of the children involved as they performed brilliantly!!!

Junior Choir at Oak Tree Court
Junior Choir had a lovely afternoon today, performing to the residents at Oak Tree Court residential home. We sang all the songs we have been working on over the last 2 months and everyone concentrated very well and sang beautifully.
We were made very welcome and the residents were a very appreciative audience. We enjoyed chatting to them afterwards whilst we enjoyed refreshments and they very generously gave us chocolate bars and some of us won a raffle prize too!
Thank you very much to Mary at Oak Tree court for her help with organising the afternoon and also to Mrs Rafter and Mr Davies for coming with us. We appreciate their help very much.
Well done Junior Choir - you did a great job today and made Chilcote very proud of you.
