Con­grat­u­la­tions to our Year 8 top project prizewin­ners:
Gold: Jacob Mid­dle­ton; Sil­ver: Jor­don Brody; Bronze: Kyra Sykes.

Pupils in Year 8 have just com­pleted “Where Eng­lish and PE Col­lide”, the home­work project for terms 1 and 2. They worked in teams in PE lessons, com­plet­ing a Sports Lead­er­ship course. They had to take on var­i­ous roles as sports lead­ers, includ­ing man­agers, media reporters, ref­er­ees and other roles. They also had to organ­ise var­i­ous sport­ing events. For the Eng­lish part, they had to carry out research on their cho­sen roles, then write to inform an audi­ence what the roles entailed. They also have to write to review their per­for­mance in two roles, and then write a sports report about one of the events they took part in.

There were some excel­lent responses. Well done Year 8!

This event was held at the Dis­cov­ery Park, Sand­wich and involved a com­bi­na­tion of busi­nesses (from robot­ics to hir­ing a rein­deer), uni­ver­si­ti­ties, pub­lic ser­vices and prac­ti­cal work­shops. We took a group of Year nine stu­dents in the morn­ing and Year 10 in the after­noon and I am sure that it will have opened their eyes to the career and edu­ca­tional pos­si­bil­i­ties avail­able to them. The pic­ture shows year 10 pupils out­side a ‘Dr Who’ type stall.

‘Musi­cal mad’ stu­dents from across the year groups had the oppor­tu­nity to see Sam Mendes’ lav­ish pro­duc­tion of Char­lie and the Choco­late Fac­tory at the The­atre Royal Drury Lane.

The larger than life show with stun­ning sets and visual spe­cial effects cost in excess of 4 mil­lion to make and fin­ished with Char­lie and Willy Wonka rid­ing high above the audi­ence in a stun­ning glass elevator.

Pupils thor­oughly enjoyed the expe­ri­ence and although we arrived back at almost mid­night every­one agreed it was one of the best shows ever seen!

The next musi­cal the­atre trip will be to see Can­ter­bury Operatic’s pro­duc­tion of Sweeney Todd at The Mar­lowe the­atre where yours truly will be appear­ing on stage! More details to fol­low soon.
