A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 7
It has been great to welcome back Year 7 to the new term, their last as Year 7 students! We would like to congratulate the year group on all of their efforts and positive attitude towards school life. We think they will be excellent role models for next year’s Year 7. Last week we marked Earth Day with an assembly that focused on the theme of Earth day and asked students to think about the question ‘Can you do one thing today to help?’Year 7 have suggested that they try to walk to school more often, make sure lights are turned off when they aren’t needed, ensure they use recycling bins and try not to use single use plastic. All very thoughtful and practical ideas to support. As we start the new term we hope Year 7 continues to work hard to earn lots of Epraise points. Current tutor group standings are: 1st - 7PFO, 2nd - 7PCO and 3rd - 7EEL with 7SDE only 1 point behind them! The Individual leaderboard is as follows; Mia B - 1st, Kate C - 2nd and Nethra G - 3rd, closely followed by Emma C and Lily K-J. Well done!
We would like to congratulate Luisa F for some charity fundraising she did during the Easter break, raising £140 for the British Heart Foundation by running a cake sale. This is a great effort! A very well done to Emily W, who plays for Richmond Rugby under 12’s girls, they have just won the Surrey County Cup Plate Final. Extra-curricular clubs and practices have started and we would like to encourage Year 7 to attend. The sports clubs are up and running with Rounders, Athletics and Cricket all taking place
MRS BASHFORD-HYNES, HEAD OF YEAR 7 during the week, with opportunities to represent the school in up and coming fixtures. If your child would like to find out more about these opportunities then please ask them to speak to myself or another member of the PE department. Have a good week and enjoy the Bank Holiday 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!
