A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 9
Year 9 have had a wonderful week and continue to impress staff overall with their uniform and punctuality- we hope that they keep this up! We had a fantastic assembly last week from Mr. Bannister, who spoke about good and bad news stories of the past year. It was lovely to hear that students continued to discuss the topics raised outside of lessons . We hope that the takeaway was for Year 9 to focus on the positive new stories in order to perpetuate a more positive mindset of their world and the world around them.
The current epraise leaderboard is as follows: 1st 9EMU, 2nd 9PWA and 3rd 9SSR Our top epraise students are currently: Anastasiia M, Ella R-J, Mia C and Poppy B.
Congratulations to all students who continue to thrive at school and are demonstrating the ethos of enjoy, achieve and empower. We would love to hear about and celebrate our students’ achievements outside of school. Please be sure to let us know of anything your child has been involved with that deserves recognition. Next week we have the Year 9 Bake-off event. This year the focus is cupcakes with a filling and I am really excit- ed to come along and see our Year 9 bakers after school on Thursday. The judging will take place on Friday at break time and the winners will be announced in our next newsletter.
Have a good week!
MRS MORTIMER, HEAD OF YEAR 9
BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘The Hunger Games’ by Suzanne Collins
In a dystopian future, the capital holds annual games where one boy and one girl (aged 12-18) from each of the 12 districts is chosen to fight to the death in an arena. The games are televised and shown across the country as a reminder to the labourers in the district that they are powerless against the capital. When Katniss’ sister has her name called during the annual reaping, Katniss volunteers to take her place as a daring act of sacrifice. The contrast between the glamour of the capital and the harsh conditions of the districts is an eye opening com- mentary on the dangers of political corruption and capitalism.
