A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 8
It was great to see so many students dressing up in red last week on Friday in support of Red Nose Day. Tutor groups also came up with ‘cheesy jokes’ where the best ones were selected to be read out by members of staff in school. This video was then played in PM registration allowing for a very hilarious fun filled end to the day. Congratulations to 8FRR for winning the best joke competition. Well done! This week we celebrated a range of awards achieved by Year 8 in our Spring Celebration Assembly. It really was wonderful to see students cheering, clapping and congratulating the winners of the awards. A special mention must go to our Year 8 band; Erin D, Bella F, Grace F, Lizzie M, who performed their own music much to the delight of the audience. The theme over the next two weeks is Kindness and Respect. Each form has been discussing the impact that kindness can have on themselves and others across our school community. This week the students will once again be writing thoughtful appreciation cards to their teachers and staff across the school - ready for our Kindness Ambassadors to hand deliver! Topping our individual leaderboard this week is Nikki C (8PUN) with 10 points , followed closely by Laura Liang (EBH) with 9 points and Matilda N with 6 points. Keep it up! 8PUN continues to be the leading tutor group with a staggering 2,120 points. Leading our House points is Pankhurst with 15,250 points! Well done to all the students who are continuing to demonstrate the enjoy, achieve and empower aspects of school life. Also congratulations to Mia B, 8PIR for achieving a distinction in her recent Grade 1 guitar exam. This is fantastic! I am sure everyone is looking forward to the Easter Break. Year 8 have worked incredibly hard and they deserve a well-earned break. Students are due to return to school on Tuesday 22nd April. During these holidays it is a good time to replenish any stationery or clothing that is required for the final term. This will enable Year 8 to put their best foot forward and continue in the same positive way that they have started the school year. I look forward to welcoming them back into school ready for the Summer Term!

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘The Girl of Ink & Stars’ by Kiran Millwood This book is a captivating story about a girl called Isabella, a cartographer’s daughter. She lives on an island called Joya. When her best friend Lupe disappears, Isabella is determined to join the search party by using her mapmaking skills and knowledge of the stars which help guide the search. The world beyond the walls is filled with monsters and ancient myths. Isabella must save not only Lupe but the island too. I enjoyed the character, Isabella, since she was resilient - she never gave up - and brave. I also liked how Isabella’s maps and knowledge transformed into something magical. The more you read the more secrets are revealed. If you liked ‘The Last Bear’ by Hannah Gold or ‘The Wolf Wilder’ by Katherine Rundell, since they also feature brave girls in magical settings, then you would enjoy this book.
