Junior Choir visit Oak Tree Court

On Thursday 28th November, Junior Choir visited Oak Tree Court to sing to the residents and enjoy a chat and refreshments afterwards.

Everybody sang well and we enjoyed performing our first concert as a choir since we started singing together in September.

Thank you so much to the residents who were a very appreciative audience and for their kindness in providing a raffle and chocolates for us all.  

Thank you also to Mrs Drew and to the parents (and grandparents) who accompanied us- Mrs Bloomer, Mrs Bugh, Mrs Lindon, Mrs Carr, Mrs Statham, Mrs Cooper, Mrs Adams and Mrs Davis.

We appreciated your help and support very much.

Year 3 and 4 Mixed Dodgeball Tournament

On Tuesday 26th November, two mixed teams from Chilcote represented the school in a dodgeball tournament held at Kings Heath Boys School.

Chilcote A were in a group with Robin Hood A, Yardley Wood B and Hollywood B. They played really well in all of their group matches and won all three games quite comfortably. This meant that they qualified for the semi finals.

Chilcote B were in a group with Robin Hood B, Yardley Wood A and Hollywood A. They played well in their first match but were unfortunately well beaten by Robin Hood B. In their second game they played better and only narrowly lost to Hollywood A. In their last game they played some fantastic dodgeball and beat Yardley Wood A, wiping their team out in the process.

In the semi final Chilcote A played against Kings Norton A. The first match was really close and could have gone either way but Kings Norton got the win. In the second match Chilcote struggled and Kings Norton dominated from start to finish.

This meant that Chilcote went into a third and fourth place play off where they played against Yardley Wood A. They won the first game without anybody getting hit out. In the second game it was a bit closer but as the timer was up Chilcote were 3 people to 2 up. Therefore, Chilcote A came third overall!

Well done to both teams who did the school proud!!!

Netball Match Vs Hollywood School

In the second quarter, it was another tight affair but Chilcote just edged it and scored 1 goal to lead 3v1 at the halfway stage. The third quarter was probably Chilcote's best quarter in the match. They played some excellent netball and finished their chances. They scored 2 goals without reply to be winning the match  5v1 at the break. In the final quarter, Chilcote played well and scored 2 more goals but Hollywood also managed to score 1 of their chances. The quarter finished 2v1 to
Chilcote and the match finished 7v2 to Chilcote.

Chilcote B played a friendly against Hollywood B. In the first quarter Chilcote took a 1v0 lead after some nice passing. The quarter was very even but Chilcote managed to finish quarter 1v0 up. In the second quarter, it was another tight affair with neither team managing to score so it was 1v0 at the halfway stage. In the third quarter, Chilcote managed to play some good netball and finished one of their chances. They scored 1 goal without reply to be winning the match  2v0 at the break. In the final quarter, Chilcote played well and boxed Hollywood in. Their pressure finally paid off and they scored another goal. The quarter finished 1v0 to Chilcote and the match finished 3v0 to Chilcote.
