Mr C’s ideas for chess sets! The winter chess season is in full swing and we have a record 70 students playing chess at

school on Fridays this year. A good chess set is a great birthday or Christmas gift from mum,

dad, or grandparents. It is best to buy normal shaped, good sized, wooden or plastic pieces

and a sturdy board to fit. It isn’t necessary to buy fancy Chinese, Spanish, Harry Potter or

Lord of the Rings style equipment, as these are harder to play with. Glass pieces fall on the

floor and break. One student showed me his great set which had a good-sized magnetic

board and pieces so you could play chess in the car! Specialty games shops, bookstores and

department stores sell them. The Sydney Academy of Chess offers online a nice package of

championship sized board and almost unbreakable plastic pieces with drawstring bag for a

bargain $25.00 plus postage. A really special gift is a beautiful standard wooden set which

will last a lifetime. These start at about $100, but handy mums and dads can buy the good

quality pieces and make a lovely wooden inlaid board and a box to fit. Have fun playing chess

with your kids! Joe Cummins

program and will be held on Tuesday 26th July at 6.00 pm in St

Lost Property @ School

Just a reminder could everyone check

the names on childrens jumpers, hats/

beanies and coats. At this time of year

it is easy for children to take the wrong

item home.

There are still missing coats, tracksuit

pants and beanies , thanks !
