A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 7
Year 7 have been discussing student voice activities during tutor time this week. Pupils have volunteered to take part in the 5 student parliament committees; Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), Environment, Curriculum, Community and Healthy Schools. Student Parliament is a group of student representatives from each form and each year group, who meet to discuss issues, make decisions and influence change within the school. Thank you to Matilda H, Hannah G, Sophie H, Radhika U, Harper P, Sophia S, Chloe R, Maisy F, Juliette V, Ellen B, Arabella S, Liberty B, Ines L, Matilda K, Lorraine CM, Ruzgar C, Zawadi W, Maya S, Mola L, Poppy K and Arianna E for taking up these roles. Alongside this they have been allocating their form reps who will be undertaking a variety of roles throughout the school year, from Form Captain to Sports Captain and Information monitor. It has been great to see Year 7 putting themselves forward for these roles. Year 7 have been earning plenty of Epraise again this week, keep it up. The student leaderboard is very close at the top, well done to Annabelle H, Jemima P, Sophia S, Annie B, Ellen B who have earned over 25 points. Your child will be arriving home with a sponsor card for Readathon (Read for Good) as the English Department likes to use this opportunity to encourage independent reading whilst collecting for a really good cause. We would like Year 7 to read as much as possible over the month of October and collect sponsorship money for doing so. It would be great if every child could contribute something: small or big. Sponsor money will be used to provide books and storytellers in children’s wards in hospitals around the country. Some of the money will also help us buy books for the school library as well. Sponsorship money may be received by you at different times - it is fine to transfer it to Parent Pay as you receive it. The deadline for contributions is Friday November 7. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. Perhaps you would like to join them in cosying up with a good book? Another exciting date for your diaries is Pink Day which will take place on Friday 24th October. On this day we encourage students in Year 7 to come to school dressed in Pink and make a donation to charity in return for doing so. Donations can be made via Parent Pay and all proceeds raised will be split between Cancer Research and CoppaFeel breast cancer charities. We’ll end the half-term in a blaze of pink!

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘Heartless’ by Marissa Meyer Heartless is a prequel to Alice in Wonderland as it follows the story of the Queen of Hearts and how she came to be so harsh. The young girl, Catherine is destined to marry to royalty, but finds herself drawn to a mysterious joker with many tricks up his sleeve. The story is set in the Kingdom of Hearts, but dips into the backstory of the different kingdoms in the land. It is a romance story with drama and lots of heartbreak. I love this book because it connects so well with the story of Alice in Wonderland and is described in such a way that allows you to imagine the magical world in your head like you’re watching a movie. This book may be a little slow into the action but if you push through it is really worth it in the end.
