Chess Club returns with a special visitor #kidschess

Today was the start of Chess Club for 2017-18. The club takes place every Friday lunch time, from 12.30 p.m. until 1 p.m. We had a special visit from Marty today who was curious to find out what all the fuss was about! Although he wasn't too bothered about learning the game, he was given cuddles by the children, which he loved!

As well as developing childrens' confidence, playing chess can boost learning, thinking and decision making. It can also help in developing foresight and planning techniques. Playing chess is based on logic, so can also help with improving maths skills.

If you would like to find out more about chess club, please send an email to the club leader, Mr. Hitchen.
