Kenton
Hockey Festival
Last weekend a number of our boys went to Nairobi with Mr. Gitau,
Mr. Farid and myself to play at the Kenton Hockey Festival. Their
effort and behaviour were exceptional as well as their performance
on the hockey field. They trained late into the night on Friday
and were up before the sun and working out on Saturday morning.
The under 13 team drew two matches one of which was against the
overall winners, Peponi! The under 11 team won a game against Greensteads
with Nile MacDonald scoring the goal. Special congratulation was
made to Waseem Hamada by the Headteacher of Peponi for his amazing
goal keeping. I would like to thank all the boys who participated
so well, Mr. Gitau for his training and enthusiasm, Mr. Farid for
his hard work at the weekend, Ali for driving all the way there
and back, Mr. Sanders who accompanied us and did some extra training
with the boys before the tournament and Mrs. Walters for coming
all that way to support us. It was a really great weekend. Please
see the report by Nile MacDonald at the end of this newsletter
RATS!
The Key Stage 2 production of "Rats!" will begin at 6.00
pm this evening. The children should be at the school by 5.30 pm
having been fed and watered. The PTA is kindly organising a bar
and the kitchen will provide tea and coffee for parents with juice
and biscuits for the children after the production is over. The
World Cross Country starts tomorrow so we want to start and finish
promptly as it's a fairly short production. We will be recording
it as usual.
Raffle
Tickets
Raffle tickets have been on sale in the office and they will be
on sale this evening during the production from Mrs. Rossella Soares.
Please don't forget to buy some. The draw will be made during the
last assembly of term when the Secondary School will present excerpts
from "Smike".
Sponsored
Read/Drums for Peace
On Wednesday we held the sponsored read and hope that all the children
will get sponsors to support our charity, ACTS. There was a lovely
parade of book characters at break time and every class from Y1-6
played drums for peace followed by poems from the children. The
sponsorship money should be brought in to class teachers in the
first week of next term.
Assemblies
Thank you, Mrs. Veronique, Ms. Chege, Ms. Watsulu and all the Early
Years children for your great assembly. I hope everyone enjoyed
it.
Activities
There will be no after school activities next week. All buses will
leave at 3.00 pm. The new activities choices for next term will
go out with the final newsletter on Friday. Private instrumental
tuition will continue as normal but if your child is unable to attend
lessons, please inform the teacher concerned at least the day before.
Reports/End
of Term
Term 2 reports will be issued on Friday (30th March) which is the
last day of term. Buses will leave at 12.00 pm.
Year
5 Trip
Year 5 went to Gede Ruins in Watamu on Monday followed by the Vasco
da Gama Cross and Portuguese Church in Malindi. It was a first hand
experience of early Arab settlement and the coming of the Portuguese
to East Africa and was a perfect conclusion to their current History
studies of Tudor explorers and settlers.
Nursery Trip
The Nursery children went on a trip to the Bamburi Butterfly Centre
yesterday and will be going to the Serena Beach Hotel and Diving
Centre on Monday. They have had an exciting two weeks.
Have
a good weekend.

OUR
WEEKEND IN NAIROBI FOR THE KENTON HOCKEY FESTIVAL
BY: NILE MACDONALD, CAPTAIN UNDER 11s.
Last
Friday the under 11 hockey team left for Nairobi to attend the Kenton
Hockey Festival.
Our
first match was against Banda and the score was 3-0 to Banda. Our
defenders were Oliver Boulton, right defense, David Nesbitt, left
defense and Richard Sanders, centre defense. Our attackers were
Nile MacDonald (Captain) and Bradley Lionnet (Vice Captain). Our
goal keeper was Fergus Leckie.
It
was very good play, especially by the goal keeper and defense.
The
second match was against Kenton College and the score was 1-0 to
Kenton. We changed the team and put Matthew Walters in as our centre
defense and Stanley Nokes as right defense. We kept our attackers
the same. We enjoyed playing this match.
The
third match was against Greensteads and the score was 1-0 to us!
Nile scored the goal from a long corner set up by Bradley. It was
excellent teamwork by everyone.
Our
fourth match was against Pembroke House and the score was 3-0 to
Pembroke. It was a hard match because we were all very tired and
feeling the altitude.
We
came 4th overall out of 7 schools and hope to be invited back next
year.
