A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 8
We have once again had a busy week in Year 8. Last week Year 8 showcased their talents at the Dance Show. We are very proud of our dancers and it was wonderful to see everyone’s hard work pay off - Thank you to our fabulous Performing Arts Department for making this happen. This week’s form time has been dedicated to ‘Women in Engineering’, as Women in Engineering Day took place on 23rd June. On Monday, the Year 8s had a special guest speaker, who talked about her career pathway in engineering. She shared her experiences working at BP and how she enjoyed travelling the world as a pressure engineer. The students found her talk inspiring and gained a better understanding of the diverse opportunities available to engineers. On Tuesday, during form time the students discussed common stereotypes about engineering, mainly focusing on its association with being a predominantly male profession. Topping our individual epraise leaderboard this week is Nadja K (8FFR), Anouska W (8FFR), Alice B (8FFR) - well done! The Year 8 total is currently exceeding 19,500 points achieved since September - which is fantastic!
This week Year 8 have been busy putting together their teams for sports day. There has been a real buzz around the school. Franklin, Pankhurst, Seacole, and Eliot houses will all be in action (today) and I shall be sharing the results and successes next week. With ‘Enjoy’ being a key aim of the school, we hope all students participate and show great house spirit.
Have a lovely weekend!

‘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
