A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 7
On Thursday last week Year 7 experienced a lovely assembly led by Ms O’Brien in which the school orchestra played some extracts from The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. As our Year 11 students are leaving school soon, Ms O’Brien explained that there are vacancies for our Year 7s to learn to play a variety of instruments and maybe form part of this orchestra in future. We hope some will take up this offer. In Science, 7FLY have been constructing a capsule to transport a water balloon from varying heights and landing without it bursting! The winners were “Mission isn’t Impossible” who managed a distance of 1m 75cm. Well done to all. Clubs are up and running and Year 7 have been attending lots of these, we look forward to hearing about results from upcoming fixtures.
Well done to Alex A, 7SDE & Isabelle B, 7ESU who were the top epraise earners last week. The top epraise tutor group were 3rd 7PFO, 2nd 7EEL, 1st 7SON.
This week all students engaged in a VE day presentation as we marked the 80th anniversary for this event. They watched some very engaging presentations and discussed why it is important to commemorate occasions like this.
Next week is mental health awareness week. Year 7 will be looking at how they can support themselves and each other in their school community and think about strategies that will help do this.
Have a lovely weekend!

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘The Princess and the Suffragette’ by Holly Webb This is a truly inspirational book about the struggles for women and children in the early 1900s. Set in 1913, the book revolves around the suffragette movement, a campaign group active from 1903 to 1914 which used direct action to advance their aim of achieving women’s suffrage (the right to vote) in the United Kingdom. The book describes the difference in lifestyle for the poor and the rich, covering relatable topics such as divorce and adoptions. I loved how relatable all the characters were and it has slowly become one of my favourite novels of all time! I suggest this book to any historical drama fans, comedy and even non-fiction lovers. Read this if you enjoyed the ‘Rebel Girl’ series or ‘Secretly a suffragette’. I absolutely recommend this book to all ages!
