Barnardos Care and Share fund raiser
 
In assembly on the 31st of January a lady from Barnardos came to talk to us. She talked to us about what they did to help chil- dren about our age. She talked to us about a boy called Sam and what his life was like. Unfortunately Sam’s dad didn’t live with him anymore; Sam had a younger brother and a mum. The mum was very ill so Sam had to do every- thing his mum would usu- ally do. If Sam’s mum was- n’t feeling well Sam had to get her changed, get her bathed and all those sorts of things.

Sam wasn’t doing very well at school because when he was working all he could think about was his mum and that he needed to go to the shops after school. Sam also couldn’t do his homework because he had no time at all and could never have any help.

Now that Sam is with Barnardos he is really
happy. A lady that works at Barnardos now does all of the things Sam used to do. When Sam is at Barnardos he is really happy and gets to relax. He can bring in his homework and get help with it.

Barnardos can only help in the UK, other- wise I’m sure every child in the world would be happy.

Year 3 visit local Synagogue
 
On Tuesday the 1st of February Year 3 went on a short trip to Chabad Lubavitch to see a few Jewish objects, I am a Jewish person and I know about a lot of Jewish artefacts. But the worst thing is walking to the synagogue. It was a very tiring walk. When we all got to the syna- gogue we put our coats on the chair we were sitting on. Many seconds later we all went to meet Rabbi Brandman except Oscar because he goes to the same Shul as the Rabbi but the one in Ilford. Then we started looking at Jewish artefacts . In the class whoever had a Koppel they would put them on to make them look Jewish . James wore a blue and white Koppel and I wore a light brown Koppel . Before the lesson began we all said good morning to the Rabbi. So now finally we could start the interesting lesson. Now the Rabbi mentioned what it was like being a Rabbi.

CHESS CHALLENGE
 
Recently, our school chess club have been taking part in a national chess challenge. This is called ‘The British Land Chess Challenge’. There are seven rounds in the tournament and the more points you get the more things you can win such as mascots, badges and gold spots. At the end whoever has the most points will get a trophy. It is an exciting experience
to play and to learn chess,
so be like us a buy a chess
board. Play with parents,
aunties or uncles and then
you’ll understand why we
are taking part in this chal-
lenge.

ISA FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT (YEAR 5 AND YEAR 6)
On the 26th January 2001, 7 pupils took part in the ISA North London football tournament. The team included myself the Captain Lee Cavanagh, Sam Dowling, Harrison Wright, Dylan Pitter, An- thony David and super saver Ben Sansom. We had seven tough matches ahead of us against seven very good teams. Our first match ended in a 1-1 draw with me hitting the bar four times and Dylan saving the day with a strike from just outside the area. Our second match ended in a well deserved 2-2 draw with me smash- ing two penalties to the top right hand corner. We then had lunch which was one of the most memorable times of our day out. Harrison was handing out chocolate bis- cuits to keep our sugar lev- els up, well I thought that was what they were for. In our match I dislocated my thumb but I still carried on fighting until the end. The match ended with inju- ries and also a 6-0 thrash- ing by the opposing tea. The next match was an- other 2-2 draw with An- thony hitting the net twice
and he rescued a draw for the boys in purple. The rest of our matches were all draws and we thoroughly enjoyed our day out with each other and Mr. French. Lee Cavanagh, Year 6

SPORTS

Three weeks ago year 4 had a football match. Oscar and James played the year 4 football match against Chigwell School. Oscar was very nervous because he had never played for Daiglen against another team before. James played in goal for Daiglen before the match, they played penalty shootouts against James.

Oscar scored all his penalties in the practice. When the match started, Oscar’s old friend Jordan Marcellis played against them. When they ran forward with the ball, Elbert ran and shot the ball towards the goal, but one Chigwell player hand balled the ball. It was therefore, Daiglen’s penalty. Oscar took the penalty and all of a sudden….. ‘ YEHHHHHHEEEE, Oscar scored!’ This was his first goal for Daiglen.

Then Chigwell scored and Jordan Marcellis scored a shot in the penalty area. In the second half, Jacob shot the ball to Oscar. It was one on one with the goalie ………. Oscar scored another goal! His dad was extremely pleased with him. Five minutes before Oscar scored his second goal, Chigwell scored their second goal. Then the whistle went. The final score was 2 - 2.

FOREST SCHOOL SWIMMING GALA
Swimming is a sport I like and which Daiglen likes. There were 8 teams at the swimming gala. Swim- ming might not be Daiglen’s best sport but we tried hard and competed well. The people in the swim- ming team were Jud Rabey (Captain), Samuel Dowling, Harry Wright, Lee Cavanagh, Teddy Crossman, Zayn Akbar, Clark Pollins and Jordan Austen (Sub). We all tried hard and wished the other swimming teams good luck. The whole Junior School, including me, are looking forward to the Daiglen Swimming Gala.
