Congratulations to Amber who has won the 9 Nations Cup in Serbia, representing England at the 70kg weight category.  

It was a straight final with three
standing counts before eventually stopping China for good in the third round.  Amber won by beating Wengi Zharz (Number 1 in China).

Mrs Ndupuechi went to see
Aladdin at the Hanger Farm Arts Centre and surprised and delighted to see Lana R from Year 7 performing as part of the Dynamic Youth Theatre group.  Lana was amazing, so Mrs Ndupuechi would like to say well done to her!
