A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 7
This week was Children’s Mental health week with the theme: “Know Yourself, Grow Yourself.” In tutor time students looked at how they deal with their emotions and thought about areas that they are strong at and those they struggle with. In assembly on Wednesday we reflected on a clip from Inside Out 2, discussing how they as young people can manage emotions, the impacts of puberty on how we feel and what helps them to know themselves better. Well done to the Year 7 Basketball team who played their final league match against Twickenham School on Wednesday. They won by a score of 35 points to 0, their highest score yet! See more details in the Sports Fixtures section on page 3. With one more week to go until half term here are the Epaise tutor group and Individual standings; 1st 7PFO, 2nd 7PCO, 3rd 7SDE. Individual; 1st Mia B 7PFO, 2nd Emma C 7PCO, 3rd Lily K-J 7PCO. Well done to everyone in Year 7 for making a concerted effort to gain even more Epraise points. Yesterday the Year 7 Bake Off competition took place. It was lovely to see the bakers in action and even more delightful to sample and judge the cupcakes at breaktime this morning. Well done to the following top 3 forms 7EEL (Honey, Kate and Georgia) with lemon and lime cupcakes, 7ESU (Kalila, Luisa and Lyla) with Biscoff and vanilla cupcakes and 7SON (Izzy, Isla and Nina) with chocolate and orange cupcakes. A special mention was also given to the team from 7SDE (Natalie, Ava N and Fatima) for the lovely tempered chocolate swans they made to decorate their cakes with. Today pupils took part in the Richmond School Sport Partnership swimming gala, we will report on how they got on in next week’s bulletin. Good luck to the Year 7 Netball team who are playing Turing House next Tuesday and Teddington on Thursday after school. We wish them well and will report back their results next week.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘My name is Mina’ by David Almond
In the form of a journal, this book is a prequel for the book Skellig, and focuses on the character Mina before she has met Michael and Skellig. It focuses on her troubles with school and family and shines a light on her creativity. It is a fun, but serious book all at the same time and has many different forms of creativity like poetry and made-up stories. Overall, it’s a very personal and emotive tale, with lots of much needed honesty about school and the stories that are missed of kids who struggle in school. - Isabelle H, Y11
