A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 7
This week was Internet Safety Day which prompted us to discuss and complete activities in tutor time about how to keep safe when using the internet. They investigated a variety of topics and watched some informative videos to support their learning.
I’m delighted to announce that the Year 7 Basketball team have earned a place in the Borough final which will take place after half term.
Well done to all the Year 7 swimmers who took part in the RSSP Gala last Friday; Eva M, Jessie C, Sasha C, Tabitha E, Amira C, Melise A. There was lots of tough opposition but they performed really well in the relays and individual events.
There has been a lot of hard work earning epraise points this half-term, so I am happy to announce our top 3 tutor groups in the leaderboards as things currently stand: 1st 7PFO 2nd 7PCO 3rd 7SDE
And the top 3 individual students are: 1st Mia B, 7PFO 2nd Lily K-J, 7PCO
3rd Marianne M 7PFO
It has been a busy half term and I am sure everyone is looking forward to the well deserved half term break. Year 7 have displayed a very enthusiastic approach to lessons and extra curricular events and competitions, we have seen pupils excel in sports, perform in Bugsy Malone alongside seasoned sen- ior school performers ( I hear the performances were superb - rehearsals have certainly paid off!) and a large portion of students took part in the Library Bookmark competition too! Well done for getting so involved in school life!
A reminder that we return to school on Tuesday 25th February. Have a lovely break!
MRS BASHFORD-HYNES, HEAD OF YEAR 7
BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘My name is Mina’ by David Almond
In the form of a journal, this book is a prequel for the book Skellig, and focuses on the character Mina before she has met Michael and Skellig. It focuses on her troubles with school and family and shines a light on her creativity. It is a fun, but serious book all at the same time and has many different forms of creativity like poetry and made-up stories. Overall, it’s a very personal and emotive tale, with lots of much needed honesty about school and the stories that are missed of kids who struggle in school. - Isabelle H, Y11
