A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 7
Last Friday Year 7 experienced their first Sports day, everyone worked hard and showed great team spirit. They certainly did themselves proud! Congratulations to 7FLY who were crowned Year 7 Sports Day champions and to 7SON & 7SDE for their part in helping Seacole to become the overall Sports Day winners. Read more about
sports day in the Sports Fixtures section further on in the bulletin. This week Year 7 have been planning for next week’s book week and thinking about their favourite book and characters. On Wednesday during drop down day they took part in various workshops as part of their Smoothie project; they designed really imaginative packaging, planned their pitch ideas to win the judges’ votes. They made and tasted theirs and others Smoothies and ranked their favourites and finally created a catchy jingle to perform to the judges if their Smoothie gets through to the final. It was a very creative day and Year 7 had lots of brilliant ideas. We look forward to finding out who the winner will be after their pitches next week!
On Thursday Year 7 moved into their new form bases ready for next year, with information shared in the Year 7 to 8 Option Process and on their Tutor group google classroom. PLease can I ask you to remind students to complete the relevant google form in this folder by next Friday, 11 July. As next week is book week in School we will have a Dress up day on Wednesday 9. Year 7s are invited to come into school wearing something in the theme of their favourite book character or anything to do with nature. We look forward to this event. The Smoothie Project final judging will take place in next Friday’s assembly. The best Smoothie project ideas, as voted by the students on Drop Down Day, will be pitched against each other to find the Year 7 Smoothie Champion. Good luck all!

‘Arsenic For Tea’ by Robin Stevens A murder-mystery, with two curious girls as the main protagonists – Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong. As chaos unfolds around them, they try to solve the clues like full-on detectives, but unpaid, of course. Daisy’s mother throws a tea party, with the whole family invited but when one of them mysteriously falls ill with food poisoning and then passes away Wells and Wong are suspicious. Who could have done it, and how? The book is a thrilling read, as you unpick the clues with our protagonists. To suspect a character and find out the truth is a whole adventure without having to leave home. I picked this book from the series specifically because of how suspenseful it was. Almost every character seemed like the culprit, every single one of them acted edgy, so it was even harder to work out. This is the second book in the series, so I recommend reading the first book first, but there are other books in the series as well, so if you enjoyed this one, there are many more to enjoy! BOOK OF THE MONTH
