A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 8
Having been back in school for two weeks, we are well and truly into the swing of things. The students have been up to a number of events worth celebrating. Last week, Ms. Moore delivered an insightful assembly on Pride Month. She explained the origins of LGBTQ+ Pride and why it is a significant date on the calendar. The presentation was enlightening, and our students took valuable lessons from it. This week, we had the privilege of watching the candidates for the 2024-2025 Head Girl position make their speeches. I hope that all Year 8s participated in voting for the candidates they believe will best represent them next year. The speeches made by the Year 10s were thoughtful and persuasive, demonstrating the skills they have honed in their English classes. I’m sure some of our Year 8s can envision themselves making those speeches in the future. A big congratulations to the students who participated in the ultimate frisbee match this week. It was wonderful to see students engaging in a new sport, and Mr. Reynolds was very proud of their effort. Over the last two weeks, we have also had matches for rounders, rugby, and cricket. Well done to everyone who has participated in these sports. It is always fantastic to hear about students involving themselves in school activities beyond the classroom. Recently, I have also seen students partaking in a range of new PE activities as they prepare for Sports Day. It is great to see them trying out various skills in their PE lessons. I should also mention the students who took part in the Osmington Bay Maths trip. Mr. Adair was very impressed with their behaviour, and I was pleased to hear from the students that they really enjoyed the trip. The trip offered a variety of activities, and I know the experience will be memorable for many. Looking forward to next week, we have an exciting presentation scheduled. On Tuesday, a guest speaker will talk to the Year 8s about engineering. Additionally, form time throughout the week will be dedicated to discussing women in engineering. We aim to dispel stereotypes and inspire students to consider it as a viable career option in the future.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
Murder Most Unladylike by Robin Stevens Murder Most Unladylike is about two girls - Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong - who attend Deepdean School for girls and create their own detective agency. They haven’t had any real crimes to solve, but suddenly Hazel finds their teacher, Miss Bell, dead. However when they return the body has disappeared. It’s up to them to solve this case and prove that it actually happened. If you have read books like A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder or Murder Mysteries, then you will enjoy reading this because it is thrilling and also slightly gory. Personally, I really like this book because it is very gripping and gets your brain thinking about who the murderer is. ~ Recommended by Ameera F-H, 7PUN
