Sports competitions

It is the last sports week of this half term next week so we are planning a mini sports competition to celebrate the skills our students have learnt. Wednesday afternoon will see the basketball competition for year 7 & 8 students.

The teams will be supported by some year 11 & 12 students. Thursday after-noon will be the year 9, 10 & 11 students’ turn as they battle to win their tournament!

Natural history museum year 7 visit

On Friday 5th October year 7 took part in a visit to the British Museum accompanied by Dr Watkins, Mr Corcut and Ms Cranston. Students were divided into three groups and took part in a scavenger hunt of ancient artefacts. They needed to find objects from Roman, Greek and Egyptian history, filling out a series of sheets to collect information. Artefacts included the Rosetta Stone, statues of Roman emperors, the Greek Nereid Monument and Sarcophagi of Egyptian pharaohs. After lunch in the school room the group returned for dismissal at 3.15pm having had a thoroughly enjoyable and educational day.

Labels on clothing!

Some of our lower-school students seem to be able to lose articles of clothing on a regular basis. Please could parents ensure that all their children’s clothing is labelled so we can easily identify lost items.
