Hello everyone.
Four is the only number that can be spelt with the same number of letters as its value, there were four Beatles, there are four seasons, four cardinal points on a compass, four suits in a standard deck of cards and as a child, our garden backed onto West Hove Golf Course so I used to hear “four!” being shouted many times over a weekend and school holiday. With our Year 3 and 4 children having played golf this week, here are some facts about Tiger Woods:
- He first began playing golf at the age of three, he shot 48 for nine holes
- He had a stutter as a child and overcame it by playing golf and talking to his dog at nights
- At the age of eight, Tiger broke 80 for the first time. Four years later, at the age of 12, he broke 70.
- He became the first billion-dollar sportsman
Here are some photos of our golfers. I wonder if we have a Tiger Woods amongst them?!

Oscars
Congratulations to Lincoln (Year 2) on being presented with an Oscar. Lincoln participated in The Great Tommy sleepout. This charity raises money for homeless veterans. It was only meant to be for one night but Lincoln asked to do two as “homeless people don’t have the opportunity to go home”. His words. Well done Lincoln.

Harley’s Corner
“Hello everyone. What a busy week. Dixie took me out to the park during Parent’s Evening and I’ve spent a bit of time running around the office with my toys. Here’s a dog joke: Why did the dog resign from his job? The work was too ruff! Speak to you tomorrow Grandma”
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
