Boarding: Chinese New Year Celebrations

On Saturday some of our boarders went to the Chinese Cultural Centre for the start of the Chinese New Year celebrations. They enjoyed some Chinese food and saw an exhibition of New Year paintings. On Feb 1st we are making pork dumplings and tasting some Chinese cakes and sweets.

Year 6 Bird Investigation

Mr Jarrett’s class were investigating how bird’s beaks have adapted to their different food sources.  The students used pliers, spoons, forks and chopsticks to represent the different kinds of bird beaks.  Screws, ribbons, spaghetti and foam balls were used to represent the different shapes and sizes of the food.

They had a great time whilst learning!

Fantastic Year 6 student writing: Titanium

There’s always fantastic work that goes on throughout school that we thought it would be great to share some! Here’s a great article written by a student in Year 6:

As the eerie sound of loneliness approached, the school had been destroyed. Paper flew everywhere like birds flying through the sky. Books spilled across the floor, lockers flew open as the school stood in silence. The beautiful, perfect school was gone. Gone. Instead it turned into a dirty, damp school. If a school was like that, would you go there?

Sitting down, shivering with fear, the boy realized what he had done. Tears rolled slowly down his face as he wiped them away. He didn’t know what had happened but he knew he had to get out of the school. FAST. Feeling very upset and embarrassed, the boy sat in silence, wondering what to do. He quickly walked out of the school as fast and quietly as possible.

The boy cautiously walked out the school as he passed the police car. Nervously, he crept along the wet grass to grab his huge, colourful bicycle (luckily, the police officer didn’t notice him). The boy pedaled down the street very quickly as fast as lighting; thinking what he had done wrong.

Cycling really fast, the boy jumped off his bike and into his house. As he arrived, he saw the news on TV. He knew it was about him destroying the school. In a hurry, he packed his everyday-things into a small, brown backpack.

Terrified, the boy heard a sound of doors cracking open. He quickly zoomed into the kitchen; his eyes locked on the door. But once he arrived in front of the door, it was locked! The police now had crashed into his house holding gigantic guns.  The boy looked around for keys; his eyes searched the kitchen until he found them lying on the table. He couldn’t go and grab them so surprisingly, he used his magic powers and quickly retrieved them.

The police were now searching the house as the boy disappeared through the kitchen door. The boy appeared in the dark forest. His legs started to quiver, his mouth began to dry up, he was petrified! As he walked through the forest, his feet crunched on the wood.

As soon as the burning sun fell down, the bright moon rose up in the night sky. The lights from the police car shone on him as he made his way through the woods. The police’s flashlight followed him like a shadow as he ran for his life.

Anxiously, the boy ran and ran through the woods until he got kicked by a police officer. He fell down onto his back; he froze.

” FREEZE!” shouted a police officer with an angry, burning face. He was shouting his head off! The boy looked around, seeing hundreds of police officers surrounding him.

” P-p-p- please let me go, ” the boy stammered. He was shivering with fear, begging the police officers to let him go. Cautiously, the boy tried to run but too many police officers surrounded him. He looked at them, their eyes filled with anger as they moved closer and closer.

The boy fell to his knees and covered his face with his arms. In a sudden, he exploded into a million pieces and blew away all the police officers…

Message from the Heads of School (Week 19 2016)

a-Brian_0002webMessage from the Head of Secondary, Mr. Brian Irving

‘There’s always something going on’ may be viewed in many ways. In an ever optimistic way, I’d like to this of this as a positive affirmation of the number of events our staff organise for the benefit of the students in Secondary.
Last week alone, we have had a Year 8/9 Shakespeare Workshop, a number of games fixtures and a larger than anticipated University Fair and Preparation for University Presentations. In addition to normal lessons and ECA, staff are offering Intervention Sessions for Year 11 and Year 13 students who need some extra support and guidance in preparation for the forthcoming examinations. Students are being identified and personally ‘invited’ to attend these sessions at lunchtimes and after school. My thanks, on behalf of the student body, go to all staff who work tirelessly to ensure that the experiences of the students are the very best they can be.

From Head of Primary, Mrs. Rachel Perkins

a-Rachel_0002webDear Parent,

we have enjoyed yet another busy week in both Early Years and Primary, especially as the Primary enjoyed their annual Sports Day. It was wonderful to see so many of you join us for this popular event. The children competed in a very professional manner and many medals were won on the day. Many congratulations to the Blue Sharks for winning the event and a huge thank you goes to the whole staff and Mr Bond for their support which made this day a great experience for the children.

This week we hope you can join us celebrating Chinese New Year and I am looking forward to seeing all the children dressed up in their red clothes on Friday.
Have a great week!
best wishes
Rachel

Year 7 students have been learning about textures and mark making this year and have used these skills to render their own versions of Van Gogh’s masterpieces.

U13 Girls Football First Match of the Season

The U13 Girls Football team traveled to Sky Kicks football ground to face Wells in their first match of the season on Tuesday.

20160126_150447

An excited team took to the pitch and, in a frantic first half, were drawing 1-1 after 10 minutes with a goal from Catalina. Wells was a mix of experience and new additions, using their experienced players to score their second goal, ending the first half 1-2.

The girls took to the pitch in the second half still energized and keen for a second goal. Catalina, Waii and Cartoon were all pushing forward to make it happen, though unfortunately unsuccessful.

The girls thoroughly enjoyed this game and are looking forward to the next.
