Newham Chess Championship - July 2015

On Tuesday 7th July 12 children travelled to Stratford to take part in the Newham Chess Championships.

Our children were exceptionally well behaved and they were a credit to our school and community.

The children played against at least 10 other schools in six rounds of chess.

Eduard scooped a third place in the Year 1 & 2 category for the highest score.

As a team and our scores combined we missed out on third place only 1 point!

A great time was had by all the children and staff.

We would like to say a special thanks to Rob Giddens who has been coming to Avenue for 8 years teaching our children chess skills and Mrs Kumari for supporting Chess club and organising the trip.

Hopefully this can continue in years to come.

Well done Chess Club!
