World Book Day 2024

On Thursday 7th March 2024 we will be celebrating World Book Day in School and a number of activities have been planned including various competitions and book swaps. All KS3 students should have received World Book Day vouchers from their tutors.

 

 The Big Book Swap will take place in the Library on Thursday lunchtime between 12.30 – 1pm. Students are invited to bring a good quality book in which is aimed at  a KS3 or KS4 audience (Years 7-11). They will then have a chance to swap it for a wide range of books we have available . It’s as simple as that! If anyone does want to take part but does not have a book to swap, then a minimum donation of fifty pence per book is acceptable but please ensure that your child brings the correct money as no change is available.

 

It would be great to see as many students as possible taking part so do hunt around for those potential swaps this weekend!

Trip to RAF Coningsby

Mrs Watson took a group of students to RAF Coningsby. What a day! Students had an opportunity to visit 12 squadron where they got up close to a Typhoon. They got to ask questions to pilots and engineers as well as looking at some noisy jets taking off.

 

The afternoon was spent at The Battle of Britain Memorial flight where students experienced priceless artefacts of our national heritage and got to hear about some of the battles that they were involved in!

 

A good day had by all.

KS3 – Aiming High

Our KS3 students are focusing on Creativity and Problem Solving skills this term.

This encourages them to practice being patient and persistent and to try looking at problems from different/new angles until they find something that works.

You can discuss these with your child(ren) by looking in their planner to see what progress they have made.
