A MESSAGE FOR YEAR 8
It is a pleasure to welcome all of Year 8 back to school after the half term. We hope that you enjoyed a restful break period and have returned to school reinvigorated after the extended half term break.
Mrs Mortimer and Mr Sweeney ran a joint assembly in the first days back to fully introduce Mr Sweeney to the year group as he began the takeover process before Mrs Mortimer goes on maternity leave. Over the coming weeks the two of them will work together to support the year group before Mr Sweeney takes over at the end of November. The form group leading the way in this week’s housepoint chart is 8EFR with 86 points. 8POR are in second place with 79 points and 8FCO have taken third place with 74 points. House points can be used to ‘purchase’ items from the epraise rewards shop with gifts ranking from canteen passes to High Street store vouchers. This will not affect their totals however. Year 8 commemorated the forthcoming Remembrance Day with an assembly on Wednesday. Today a group of students played the Last Post live around the school, followed by the whole school observing a minute’s silence in respect for those that have fought in conflicts to defend our freedom and protect our way of life. It is not long now until the Waldegrave production of Annie hits the stage. We know that the Music and Drama department have been working tirelessly with the students involved, clocking up 84 hours of rehearsals so far, holding frequent after school sessions since May half term! A big well done to all students that are a part of this show - we cannot wait to see it.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
Impossible Creatures - Katherine Rundell
If you enjoy Katherine Rundell’s The Wolf Wilder , then I highly recommend her newest book. A gripping fantasy novel, Rundell takes readers into the magical Archipelago, where mythical creatures exist but are under threat. Two children discover their hidden talents and their bravery is tested as they quest to save the source of the magic, on which all the creatures depend.
