HOUSE REPORT
Hello, we would like to give a warm welcome to all our eager readers (oooh, it rhymes, sort of!) We hope you enjoy reading the column about all things house championship.
One of the first house events of the Spring term was the thrilling cross-country. With many year 8 participants, the race proved to be highly competitive, even within houses. We would like to point out here, that there was only one MacCarthy and Dobinson entrant from year 8.
Roach, as with everything, achieved an astounding victory in first place (Paul Shioleftou) Barker made second, Dobinson came third, and
MacCarthy came fourth. We would like to congratulate all the runners on their brilliant effort, even those who appeared to be in the early stages of a heart attack (i.e. me, Kaleb Ells) at the end of the race.
Another major event was the breath-taking house drama. Many year groups competed in this tense battle for the key points that could decide who would hold the stunning house cup (we would like to apologise for the overuse of superlatives in the previous sentence, the person responsible has just been sacked). All the houses gave really great performances, and the effort put into them by everyone was plain to see. Mr Scargill and his stage adaption of Goldilocks was indeed a sight to behold. The results were: Roach and Dobinson joint
1st; MacCarthy 2nd; and Barker 3rd.

GIRLS SPORT
This season the rounder’s team has put a lot of effort into training, the squad larger than either the netball or hockey. They have played six fixtures so far this year, including four losses against Camp Hill, Wolverhampton Grammar School, King Edward VI High School and Edgbaston High School. On a lighter note, they won against St Martins and Solihull
School. Fielding has been their strong point and in the home game against Solihull School they got out all the batters in both innings, preventing them from scoring. Next year they aim to expand their skills and knowledge by working on their batting technique.
On the 28th June a combined Year 7 & 8 Rounder’s Team took part in the Birmingham
School Games. Having battled through their group stage matches the team qualified for the semi final where they beat Kings Norton Girls School by 3 rounder’s. Heading into the final Five Ways faced foundation rivals KE Camp Hill who unfortunately batted strongly to take victory. Five Ways were placed in silver position and will hope to go one better next year!

SPACE CLUB
Space Club, set up by Year 8 form tutor Mr Jeavons, launched a balloon from
Kinver Edge, equipped with a GPS tracker and camera to see if they could capture any images.
The camera eventually came to rest 100 miles away in North Yorkshire, after reaching a staggering 60,000ft. Some amazing images were taken by the camera during its flight and after 10 weeks of planning staff and pupils were pleased at the project’s success.
