Year 7 Tiny House
One of Miss Lobley’s maths classes have been working on a Tiny House project over the past few lessons. They were tasked with ensuring all the essentials fitted into a small space and had to work out the area and perimeter of each item. Once this had been completed they were able to make a 3D plan of this house and decorate both the inside and outside. Some even went on to make 3D furniture. Please see the photos for some incredibly impressive Tiny Houses.
Grim Tales – Wickedly Ever After is now going to print! – Creative Writing Competition
Congratulations to 26 students from our Creative Writing Club, whose mini sagas have been selected to be published. Recently, they entered a Young Writers’ Short Story Competition called Grim Tales. Using well-known fairy tales, folklore, myths or legends to inspire them, they twisted these stories into something original. As well as their work being published, they also have the chance to win some amazing prizes.
It’s always a pleasure to see our students’ hard work rewarded. We look forward to seeing their stories in print soon.
Year 9 Enterprise day
We had an incredible day as our Level 3 BTEC Business students took the lead in organizing the “Year 9 Enterprise Day” on Tuesday 17th June.
The two sessions started with a fun and creative icebreaker – building spaghetti towers – which got everyone engaged and working together.
A highlight of the day was the interactive careers wheel, where students engaged with external Business Advisors, asking thoughtful questions and gaining real-life insight.
Our sixth formers then delivered an insightful session on different career pathways, covering Be Your Own Boss, Apprenticeships and Further Education.
To finish the sessions, students worked in teams to design an app for the school which focused on careers, showcasing their teamwork, creativity and problem-solving skills. Congratulations to Group 5 for winning in the AM session and Group 11 for winning in the PM session.
We were especially proud to hear our Business Advisors’ comment on how amazing, engaged and respectful our students were throughout the day.
A massive thank you to our brilliant Business Advisors who generously gave their time and shared their expertise – their support made a real difference!
We’re so proud of everyone involved – What a fantastic day of learning, inspiration and planning for future careers.
