Clockhouse Chip, Put and Drive their way through Competition
Clockhouse took part in the Havering Tri Golf festival, taking 10 children from Year 4 to compete in the event.
Battling through the cold and windy conditions, the children took part in 8 activities to test their golf skills. They got to use a range of golf clubs whilst being tested on their driving, chipping and putting. Throughout the event, many of the sports leaders supporting the event commented on the ability of the children and how Clockhouse was one of the top performing schools on the day.
Clockhouse amassed 732 points throughout the day and although no results were given, the organisers commented on the phenomenal performance of Clockhouse in the bullseye event.
The children had a great time and it was lovely to see them all supporting and encouraging each other throughout the day and applying the skills they have learnt in PE into a new environment.

Clockhouse triumph at Tri Golf!
Clockhouse took part in Havering’s Tri Golf festival taking 10 children from Year 4 to take part in the event!
Clockhouse wanted to take the opportunity to enter the festival as Golf is a new sport added to the curriculum just this year with Year 4 having already had one term learning some new skills in Golf.
The children took part in 8 activities going around to each station collecting points for their team using a series of different golf shots and target work! All 10 children enjoyed themselves and had the chance to represent their school in something new.
Clockhouse achieved an amazing total of 653 points resulting in 5th place against some challenging schools.
Miss Macdonald said “It was great to see how well the children did encouraging one another and applying skills from the lesson to help them meet their targets. I was very happy to have the chance to give children the opportunity to represent their school in something they enjoy! Well done all keep up the hard work."

Clockhouse Tee Off with something new
Clockhouse took a group of Year 4 children to play in the Havering Tri-Golf Festival.
As a school this is something completely new that we have never played before. The festival involved using golf related skills to score points for the team.
As the festival went on Clockhouse found a rhythm and played some nice strokes. Resulting in a 4th place finish.
Mr Yarrow spoke about the event saying 'It's great to not only try new sports but also give children lower down the school pyramid a chance to get out and represent the school in inter-school support.
The children had a lot of fun and learnt some skills that they can transfer back into PE and in other life skills.
I'd like to thank the parents for transporting the children. Well done everyone!'
