We are extremely proud of Callum who cut a smart and commanding figure in his cadets uniform on Remembrance Day. We all respect the sacrifices made by generations that have come before us. Callum did himself and his family proud.
Year 8 Lime took a trip to the cinema this week to support their studying of ‘Film’, this half-terms topic. The plan was to see ‘Early Man’ however due to a technical fault they watched ‘Epic Tails’ instead. All students coped with this last minute change really well. The staff and students had a great time.
Year 7 had a wonderful time at Cine World in Luton on the 16th November.
The students were great ambassadors for the school. They were treated with their own private screening of Super Mario Bros.
They then enjoyed a game of Ten Pin Bowling which concluded a great day out for Year 7!
The Year 9 students have been exploring Diwali during their R.E. lessons. They have been making candle holders for Diwali out of salt dough and then decorating them. They not only found the whole process informative, but they had great fun designing and constructing them.
The Year 9 students have been working on their Arts Award. The pictures below show Teal class developing their final pieces. These are all inspired by Pablo Picasso and his Cubism style.
On Thursday 7th December we held our Christmas Show. We had around eighty students taking part with songs, jokes and a play. We had many parents and carers in the audience, alongside special guests. It was a lovely evening, enjoyed by all.
Faris Has Been Amazing
Faris in Year 8 Lime has been a ‘super student’ this week. He has been a wonderful friend, supportive of his classmates and showing frequent acts of kindness. Ms Oakes has been so pleased with Faris that he will be receiving a certificate at the end of the week, celebrating his success.
Teal class were learning about the anatomy of the human body. They spent time making lungs and the diaphragm using a bottle, straws and balloons.
This is an excellent example of the imaginative approach teachers take to bring a practical approach and application to theoretical knowledge.
The students learnt a lot, were fully engaged and thoroughly enjoyed their lesson.
This week the Year 7 students worked really hard on their written work. They then took great pleasure in sharing their wonderful literary masterpieces with the rest of the class.
For these reasons we have decided to allow students to attend school in P.E. kit on the days they have P.E.
Plain black shorts or tracksuit trousers. White polo shirt and black hoodless sweatshirt.
We are avoiding hooded tops to `ensure the hoods aren’t used as handles to pull each other backwards, and also to stop students putting up their hoods preventing them from being identified from a distance.
The table below shows when your child has P.E.
Please ensure they come in to school wearing it on the appropriate days.
