A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 8
What a half term it has been! I have been so impressed by the hard work of the Year 8s so far this Summer. Many students have enjoyed being outside and making the most of the sunshine. This week has been particularly busy for a number of Year 8s. On Monday I joined the frisbee club with Mr Reynolds and Mr Trevelyan. It was great to see students there enjoying a new sport. The students were practising throwing, catching and movement. I was incredibly impressed by the students’ effort and skill; we could have some national champions soon! Well done to all those who participated and a big thank you to Mr Reynolds. We also had some students attend the Year 8 International Women in Engineering Day event this week. Led by Mr. Godfrey, the event was a great success. Mr. Godfrey reported that the students behaved brilliantly, engaging with and showing curiosity about the information presented. He was very proud of how well the students represented the school. A big congratulations to 8PWA for securing first place in the weekly quiz competition. Every Thursday, our Year 8s battle it out in form time quizzes, and this week, 8PWA came out on top. Well done! Well done also to our epraise leaders this week. Our top three forms are 8EFR, 8FCO, and 8EMU with 211, 102, and 100 points respectively. Keep up the excellent work! A reminder that all students with Chromebooks should bring them in each day. The use of Chromebooks is a fundamental part of many lessons, enhancing our students’ learning experience and enabling interactive and engaging lessons. We have had a few students repeatedly forget their Chromebooks, which causes significant disruptions not only to the hub team but also to learning. Please ensure your child brings their Chromebook daily to avoid any disruptions. Please remind your child to charge their Chromebook every evening. I hope all Year 8s and their families enjoy the half term break. It is a great opportunity to get some rest, recharge and prepare for the final half term before our Year 8s become Year 9s. They are growing up very quickly!

BOOK OF THE MONTH
Raven Winter by Susanna Bailey
I really enjoyed reading this book it’s really interesting and I learnt a lot more about what to do in certain situations. It is really quite emotional but an amazing read. I love how descriptive she is. If you enjoy this book you may also like another one of Susanna’s books, Snow foal.
