A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 10
It has been a very busy week with lots of trips and activities for Year 10. Our Year 10 French students returned from Paris on Monday afternoon, having enjoyed a fantastic trip filled with cultural and language experiences. On Wednesday, a small group of Year 10 students visited Kensington Palace as part of a cultural speaking workshop. This unique experience allowed them to get up close and personal with the exhibits and gain valuable insights into life at the palace hundreds of years ago. Yesterday, we bid farewell to our German speakers who are off to visit the town of Boppard. They will be soaking up the local sights and sounds, and we look forward to hearing about their adventures. Our Year 9 and 10 cricketers competed in the U15 Middlesex Cricket Competition at Barn Elms on Tuesday. Representing our school were Aditi S, Aditi A, Connie S, and Elodie W. They played with great enthusiasm and skill. Furthermore, we had a catch-up session for HPV vaccinations, ensuring our students stay up to date with their health requirements. The Student Parliament Curriculum Committee Meeting also took place this week, where students tackled issues they feel passionate about. Congratulations to Uma in 10EAH who has been chosen as one of the Grand Finalists in the Jack Petchey Speak Out Challenge. Out of 40,000 students who participated in the workshops, only 15 students from across London and Essex have been selected for the final. Uma will be performing her speech at the Cambridge Theatre in the West End in July. What a fantastic achievement! Well done to Amy in 10FHE for achieving a Merit in her recent Grade 4 Piano exam! After half term we have a number of important activities for Year 10: Work Experience takes place at the start of July, so I’d like to remind everyone to ensure they get all of the work experience paperwork in and ready for this. Year 10 exams start the week of Monday 10 June. Exam schedules have been posted on all the Google Classrooms to help you keep track. Students can use the half term break to ensure they are fully prepared. Whilst revision is important it is also important that students find time to enjoy some relaxation.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
Turtles all the way down by John Green. Turtles all the way down follows the 16 year old character Aza Holmes as she struggles with OCD and anxiety. However, she embarks on a journey to find out the mysterious absence of her ex million best friend’s father, despite the dangers involved within this. I found this book really intriguing as it gives you a first hand perspective on the experiences that people struggling and persevering with mental illnesses face. It also delves into the strong connections of friendships and how they shape you to be the person you are today. ~ Recommended by Yasemin A, 11ERU
