The Poppy by Noah Downs Brown

The poppy is the colour of blood
It is how we remem­ber the dead
For the ones who’s body’s, soaked in the mud
To make sure the enemy fled
We remem­ber the sol­diers who fought in that war
On this fate­ful Novem­ber day
We remem­ber the hon­our they fought for
They weren’t going to let the enemy get their way
It was Great Britain they protected
They fought the good fight
Together, they stood connected
And gave the enemy a fright
100 years have past since then
And we say ‘Thank you’ to all those brave men.

Yr 7 Hal­loween Fundraiser

Details

halloween200

The Year 7 Hal­loween party was a phe­nom­e­nal suc­cess, rais­ing over £200 for char­ity!!! A mas­sive thank you to all of the staff that helped out, espe­cially Miss Rebera, Miss Day and Mr New­man who took part in the Trick or Treat/​Bush tucker trial. We were all a bit shocked that all three staff mem­bers ate all insects that were placed in front of them! We had amaz­ing music, fan­tas­tic face paint­ing, bril­liant fancy dress cos­tumes and even time for ‘the best mummy’ competition.
A great evening was had by all — well done Year 7!

The RSC Project is well under way…

stratford photo 200On the 2nd Octo­ber, Mrs O’Shea, Mrs Gold­ing and I took a trip to Strat­ford Upon Avon to begin our train­ing with RSC Prac­ti­tion­ers, Miles Tandy and Rachel Gart­side. All extremely excited, we couldn’t wait to arrive at the RSC Clore learn­ing cen­tre early Fri­day morn­ing. The first play we looked at approach­ing was Love’s Labour’s Won(Much Ado About Noth­ing.) The active learn­ing strate­gies were great fun and we loved work­ing with the teach­ers from other Hub schools. On Fri­day evening, we were able to see the pre­view per­for­mance of Love’s Labour’s Won at the RSC The­atre which was set in War­wick­shire in 1918. It was a fan­tas­tic per­for­mance and by see­ing the play live, we devel­oped a much bet­ter under­stand­ing of char­ac­ters, plot and themes. Sat­ur­day morn­ing we begun with review­ing the play that we had seen and dis­cussing the moments we remem­bered, just as stu­dents would do. We then begun to look at ways of approach­ing Two Gen­tle­men of Verona, activ­i­ties included: cre­at­ing tableaus for key quo­ta­tions, lis­ten­ing to music to set the scene, chas­ing a dog around a table and explor­ing themes of the play.

Pride of Britain Award

Details

PBuckley200

On Fri­day 12th Sep­tem­ber ITV Merid­ian news arrived in force at King Ethel­bert School in Birch­ing­ton to award the Pride of Britain award for the fundraiser of the year for the South East of Eng­land to Pat Buck­ley. Pat Buck­ley was short­listed down to the last four with each final­ist being given a slot on Merid­ian news each evening last week. The win­ner was decided by a panel of judges who made their deci­sion after watch­ing the films that had been made about the way they were help­ing change com­mu­ni­ties by their fundrais­ing initiatives.
All 4 final­ists were wor­thy win­ners but Pat Buck­ley, a res­i­dent of Birch­ing­ton and a teacher at King Ethel­bert School for over 38 years, was the man who cap­tured the judges hearts.
Pat has been rais­ing money through the Enjewel India project at King Ethel­bert for over 10 years. Every two years a num­ber of stu­dents from the Enjewel team which heads up the school’s fundrais­ing in order to gather together as much money as they can for the Aids Orphan­age in Goa, India. This year the stu­dents, all year 10 pupils from King Ethel­bert, have raised a stag­ger­ing £30,000 to present to the orphan­age in India to try to give these chil­dren some­thing to make their lives hap­pier and more ful­filled. Over the years Pat has raised nearly £200,000 and has taken over 50 stu­dents from King Ethel­bert to visit these chil­dren and to make a dif­fer­ence to their lives. It is thanks to Pat’s fundrais­ing activ­i­ties that there is now an exten­sion on the orphan­age which bears the plaque ‘With thanks to our friends at King Ethel­bert, Birch­ing­ton, Thanet, Eng­land.’ Pat and his Enjewel teams raise the money by car­ry­ing out a whole range of fundrais­ing activ­i­ties includ­ing zoomba classes, bike rides, jum­ble sales, raf­fles, spon­sored events and any other event that brings the peo­ple of Thanet together to raise money for this wor­thy cause.
