Earlier this term, all Year 7 students participated in a Chess incursion, conducted by 鈥楧ark Horse Chess鈥�. 秘色传媒 were introduced to the game of chess and enjoyed the activities presented on each day.
A few student reflections are below
I really enjoyed the chess incursion. I learnt a lot about castling and learnt a few smart moves I never knew. I had lots of fun playing with my partner who was just as competitive as I was. One of the tutors taught us how to play different games with the chess pieces. I enjoyed it so much my friends and I all joined the chess club. Overall, I had a great time.

The Year 7 Chess Incursion was a really good experience especially if you don鈥檛 know much about chess. I have never played chess before and I loved learning about the different ways you can move.

In the Chess Incursion I learnt lots of tactics and I now have more knowledge of the game. I never really liked chess and I thought it was a bit boring but now after the incursion I have seen a new side of chess. It is a fun game to play against your friends and it doesn鈥檛 matter how much skill you have.
