Bulletin / 14th June 2019

Exam Success!

Today was one of the most enjoyable days of the academic year as I congratulated our Year 8 pupils upon their Common Entrance performance and gave out their individual results. All pupils had performed well and were clearly thrilled with their grades, which are a testimony to hard work and excellent teaching. Meanwhile, the internal school examination results have been pleasing overall and I hope that the children can now turn their attention to a range of exciting end of year events and activities over the coming weeks including the Year 8 trip to Pembrokeshire, the Year 6 Gordonstoun Challenge, Belartis Week, the Beginners Concert and much more. I hope that you enjoy this Bulletin and that Year 8 parents enjoy celebrating with their children! Helen Skrine Headmistress

Awesome Book Awards

Maths

Year 4 enjoyed solving puzzles during the Maths Challenge afternoon at St. George’s Junior

School recently.

Before half term, twelve lucky members from Years 5 and 6 were invited to join hundreds of young readers from across the South East, who gathered together for a celebration of children’s fiction at the Awesome Book Awards 2019 prize-giving. For some weeks, our children had been busy, ferociously reading, reviewing and voting a range of new fiction. The children loved the exciting evening.

Year 2 News

Year 2 enjoyed a strawberry 🍓 party this week to celebrate the successful growth of their own strawberry plants at school. The offer of some squirty cream was taken up by many of the pupils!

Year 2 also had fun with a problem solving challenge this week in History, to construct their own version of the Fire of London Monument. They had to build a 3D column with firm foundations, stability and height above one metre. Did any group manage all three? See for yourself!

The Advanced Musical Soirée

All our budding vocalists and instrumentalists performed to an appreciative audience last night at the Advanced Musical Soirée. There will be a Beginner’s Concert on Wednesday 19th June, at 4.45pm in the Theatre. We look forward to seeing you

there!

Gordonstoun Prep Schools’ Challenge 2019

Five pupils from Year 6 set off to Scotland this morning with Mrs Blanch, to take part in the Gordonstoun Prep Schools’ Challenge 2019. Watch out for a full report in the next Belmont Bulletin. Good luck Team Belmont!

The Trail Academy

Thank you to everyone who helped out at the Abinger Fair on Saturday and to those who donated items for the magnificent Belmont hamper, one of the main raffle prizes. The Fair made over £16,000, despite the weather being a little unseasonal for the time of year!

From September 2019, the Trail Academy will be offering two after-school clubs at Belmont using the newly built mountain bike trail. There will be a club for the Juniors on a Monday and Seniors on a Thursday, split into groups based on ability. So, whether you are just starting out or already tearing up the trails, there will be club to suit you! With 25-years’ experience in the cycling industry, the qualified Trail Academy coaches have a professional yet fun approach to all things mountain bike! With on-site, one-to-one tuition, riders will work on core skills, refine their bike set up, conquer their fears and above all, have fun! Sessions are priced at £15 each. Please contact [email protected] to reserve your child’s place.

Design Technology

Pupils in Year 5 have enjoyed designing and making slippers as their DT project. They have looked at what it means to be a designer and have considered factors such as comfort, safety, appearance and durability. They produced different designs and chose one to make. They drew around their feet, cut out patterns and material and sewed them together. I think you will agree that the end results were first class!

Ice Hockey

Thomas and his Guildford team qualified for the National Ice Hockey Finals in Sheffield facing the top seeds from the rest of the country. Entering as underdogs, The British Junior Hockey world was thrown into turmoil as Guildford made the Final!!! They lost 3-0 but put Guildford on the map and earned a huge amount of respect from the rest of the country. Well done all.

IAPS National Swimming Finals

The IAPS National Swimming finals took place last weekend with children competing from all over Britain and there was even a Prep School from Kenya! Congratulations to Roman (U10 25m Fly) and Connie (U10 25m Breaststroke) who represented Belmont at this event. Roman qualified in 6th position out of 20 to make the Final. He came fifth so narrowly missed a medal. Connie came 14th out of 20 in her event so did very well. Both children were awarded a badge for qualifying within the top 20 in their event and Roman for making the Finals.

The SHAC SUP Academy

Four young SUP racers who are all part of the SHAC’s SUP Academy met and trained with the UK SUP Race champion from 2017, Sarah Thornley. Bruno Charlotte , Betty and Bella all enjoyed the experience and even showed Sarah some of their own SUP skills! Well done to them all.
