The Stanway Times YEARS 5 & 6 TASTER DAY DIARY DATES Monday 13th October Year 11 French Writing Controlled Assessments in lessons this week Tuesday 14th October Year 11 Careers Convention at Weston Homes Community Stadium 11.25am - 1.00pm Wednesday 15th October Prize Day 7.00pm Around six hundred Years 5 and 6 students from our feeder primary schools enjoyed a Taster Day here at The Stanway School on Friday, 26th September. Some of our students offered to come into school and act as buddies and they did a wonderful job of escorting the younger children to lessons, break and lunchtime activities. As in other years the children took part in a variety of lessons which gave them some idea of what to expect when they move up in the next few years. It is always interesting to see how the younger ones adapt to “big school” and the buddies helped to ensure that everything was trouble-free and enjoyable for most. Thanks to the buddies for their excellent work and also many thanks to our feeder schools for releasing the students for the day.

The Club opened its doors on Thursday 2nd of October 2014 and will meet every week between 4.30 to 6.30 pm at Kingswode Hoe School, Sussex Road, Colchester, CO3 3QJ. It's a ‘Not-For-Profit’ club and the main aim is to enable juniors of Colchester to learn and play chess in a friendly gathering. However, to cover the running expenses of the Club and for ongoing improvement of the facilities, there is a small fee to pay. More details are available on our Facebook Page 'Colchester Junior Chess Club' or by contacting Mohammud Ally on 07786 326927 or by email at [email protected]. Parents are welcome to help or wait in the waiting area where free teas, coffees and Wi-Fi are available. There is also free car parking. The Club will always be supervised by a DBS checked and qualified chess coach from the ‘Chess In Schools and Communities’ (CSC - a nationwide charity). We understand that the day and timing might not suit everyone as a lot of children are involved in different activities. Therefore we are willing to consider running the club on additional days, subject to interest and availability of the venue.
