With the change in weather in October, and the chances of rainy and windy days increasing, 4th Class have begun learning a great game of strategy and skill, perfect for those (hopefully rare!) rainy days ahead.
We began by learning about Rooks (aka "Castles") and Bishops and how they can move around the board, capturing enemy pieces. We had a lot of fun figuring out how to get to any spot on the board in 2 moves for the rook and also when it might be worthwhile sacrificing a piece of our own to capture a more valuable enemy piece, such as the Queen.
Enthusiasm is running very high for Chess, so expect some very enjoyable wet breaks in the months ahead.
