A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 8
We are all getting settled back in nicely here and Year 8 are getting stuck into their studies well. This week we had our annual school photographs and all the students behaved really well and looked very smart in their individual and class pictures. Details about ordering will come out shortly. Year 8 are doing very well collecting ePraise points. Our top three individual students are Nethra G in 8EHO in 3rd place, Mia B in 8PFO and Kate C from 8EHO currently topping the leading board. Keep it up!
Don’t forget we have a fantastic photography competition running this term, it would be great to see lots of entries from Year 8. Please see page three of the bulletin for more information and details of how to enter.
Next week the Year 8s are leading the school tours for the students who are currently in Year 6 and are looking to join us at Waldegrave next September. The tours will span several mornings over the next week and the tutor groups will take it in turns to lead the prospective students and their parents around the school, giving them a valuable insight into school life at Waldegrave. We are sure that the students will make us proud and be great ambassadors for the school.
Have a lovely weekend.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘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 tend to try and solve them like full-on detectives, but unpaid, of course. This is the second book in the series, so I recommend reading the first book first. But a brief summary is – the two girls are at Daisy’s house (Fallingford) for a tea party Daisy’s mother was throwing and Daisy’s whole family was invited. When mysteriously one of them fall extremely ill and pass away due to poisoning. Who could have done it, and how? It was thrilling to read it, going on the way to the answer with our protagonists. To suspect a character and finding out the truth is like a whole adventure without having to move around. 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. Of course there are other books in the series as well, one as good as the other, so if you enjoyed this one, there are many more.
