A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 7
This week Year 7 have had another busy week, planning their Pot Plant competition entry, Benchball Team form the tournament on the 24 March, and looking ahead to Red Nose day and the Best Joke competition! They experienced a very interesting and though provoking assembly lead by Ms Dhir and Ms Salsbury which looked at the topics of International Women’s day and British Science week. Year 7 will be taking part in some follow up activities in tutor time next week. On Friday the U13 Cricket team took part in the Middlesex finals and we will hear about how they got on next week. The Year 7 Netball team were also in action and a report about this match will follow. Here are the tutor group Epraise totals from the last 7 days: 1st 7EEL, 2nd 7ESU, 3rd 7FGC. Here are the individual leader board 1st Annie B 7SON, equal 2nd Prisca C 7ESU, Ava S 7PCO, Kate C 7EEL and Demi W 7EEL. Well done all keep on earning those Epraise points. On Friday March 21st, students and staff are invited to wear red on this non-uniform day, and to make a voluntary donation using ParentPay to mark Red Nose Day. Please note: students who do not wish to wear red will be expected to wear their normal school uniform, and that all expectations still apply.
Have a good week!

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘The Girl of Ink & Stars’ by Kiran Millwood This book is a captivating story about a girl called Isabella, a cartographer’s daughter. She lives on an island called Joya. When her best friend Lupe disappears, Isabella is determined to join the search party by using her mapmaking skills and knowledge of the stars which help guide the search. The world beyond the walls is filled with monsters and ancient myths. Isabella must save not only Lupe but the island too. I enjoyed the character, Isabella, since she was resilient - she never gave up - and brave. I also liked how Isabella’s maps and knowledge transformed into something magical. The more you read the more secrets are revealed. If you liked ‘The Last Bear’ by Hannah Gold or ‘The Wolf Wilder’ by Katherine Rundell, since they also feature brave girls in magical settings, then you would enjoy this book.
