Tennis Club

This has been an excellent year for the tennis club. We started with 20 members and that number has grown to 45. During the year many of our members played in competitions at school and for the area. David Markham entered the national championships and came second. Well done, David! Maybe one day we’ll see him playing at Wimbledon! And speaking of Wimbledon – in July 25 members went to watch the final. They’re still talking about it! Let’s hope next year is even better.

Book Club

We are a small club, but we are growing all the time. There are now 15 members. We read 12 different books this year and had some very interesting discussions. This year’s favourite was the second book by the Swedish writer Stieg Larsson – The Girl Who Played with Fire. We also watched and enjoyed the film. We ran several writing competitions and one of our members won a magazine prize. You can read her winning story in next month’s Writer’s World. Judith doesn’t know if she wants to be a journalist or a novelist yet, but we think she will do well in both jobs!

1. The book the club likes the best was by                               [a new writer, a writer from another country, a writer who also makes films, an English writer]

2. The book club                                     [is just for people who like reading, encourages members to write, produces its own magazine, helps people find a job]

Photography Club

This was the club’s first year and it was very successful! More than 30 students joined and we now have members from the whole school. We meet in the studio and learn about different cameras and techniques. And we had some very interesting talks from experts this year. Our end-of-year competition was won by Kenny Summers. Congratulations, Kenny! You can see his photograph – of bees on flowers in a field – and all the other competition photographs on the club website, where you can also contact the club if you are interested in joining.

1. The photography club teaches members                          [how to repair equippment, how to be an expert, how to set up a studio, new ways to take photos]

2. The photography club website has photographs                            [that were taken by experts, that have won many prises, that club members took, from other websites]
