I wanted to share this very impressive piece of revision work from Corbyn in G28.

He is clearly wanting to ensure he is as successful as possible in his history assessment tomorrow – he has a copy on his bedroom door too! This is what getting smart looks like.

G28 and G29 have assessments this week and the extended study which was set for over half term is revision for this.

Wednesday 8th November – G28, Cold War assessment

Thursday 9th November – G29, Britain’s involvement in the transatlantic slave trade assessment

Friday 10th November – G28, Lord of the Flies character assessment

All revision materials are on google classroom.

Do yourself a favour and ensure you’ve revised! Good luck!

Lucy has recently done some wonderful work as part of her dance group. Having recently won first place for team dance in a competition, last week Lucy and her dance school ‘Dance Fusion Extreme’ danced at Tomasz Oleszak’s memorial service and even made it into the Evening Chronicle. Beautiful work Lucy!

Scarlett competed in the northern area regional schools judo championships over the weekend and secured a silver medal! She has also qualified for the national finals in March, what a fantastic achievement. Good luck for the finals Scarlett!

This week Ollie and Owen took part in trials for the district football team at under 12 level. Fingers crossed for both boys, but we know that they gave a great account of themselves. Beautiful work Ollie and Owen!

Some stunning monoprints that capture the grit, tone and texture of mining artefacts from Year 7.

Beautiful work G30!

Elyse was a flag bearer at the recent game between England and Scotland at the Stadium of Light. Elyse has really grown as a footballer over the last couple of years, and what an honour to have such an important role at this local event. Great work Elyse!

If you visit the Shipley Art Gallery, and we think you should, you will see Brody’s pottery piece displayed in one of the cabinets in the Gallery. Fantastic and beautiful work Brody. Our students can say they are published authors, Brody is a published potter!

Lizzie has produced some thoughtful writing about the importance of coal in our region to help drive the Industrial Revolution. Josh, having produced similar quality writing then made extensive notes on the Industrial Revolution as an extension task. Great work Lizzie and Josh!

Amazing news! Harry got his black belt (1st Dan) in karate last night starting just over 2 years ago in May 2021; this is an epic achievement!

Harry has worked tirelessly to achieve this, training 4 times a week and practising wherever he goes.

Not only is he a 1st Dan, but he was also awarded his Junior Instructor last night too!

Beautiful work Harry!

Penny has had a successful taekwondo grading last week. Penny worked hard for this and memorised several patterns to pass, including some Korean language. Here she is receiving her certificate from Mr Pasco, one of her instructors. Great work Penny!
