Themed Days

Halloween Day

In October students carved pumpkins, made biscuits, toffee apples and masks in a Halloween Day.

 

Religion Day

In November students experienced a Religion Day and had a taster of the six major religions from banghra dancing to meditation. They then moved around the areas to gain knowledge of each religion from each groups' presentation.

 

Woodlands Trip

On a cold November day Year 7 students went to Woodlands Camp for a day of confidence and team-building activities. Despite the weather everyone had a fantastic experience. Students overcame their fear of heights, worked together to build rafts and tackled rope bridges without falling in the water.

 

Animal Man

As part of the Science week students were given a talk from a variety of speakers who brought in a selection of animals from scorpions to snakes.

 

Life Skills

In December a day was devoted to Life Skills, where students learnt skills such as how to wire a plug, gift wrap presents, lay a table and plant bulbs.

 

Christmas Theme Day

Students rotated around a number of workshops to make Christingles, floral table decorations, cards, sweets, iced biscuits and tree decorations.

  

Cycle Day

All Year 7 took part in Level 2 Road Cycle Course. The course is designed to improve student's cycle control by covering skills and exercises in the playground. This is followed by practicing basic manoeuvres on local roads for those who reach the required standard of cycle control. Students really enjoyed the day out of the classroom environment and gave each other support and encouragement on the team events.

 

LEPRA Workout

As part of the unit on Healthy Me students took part in a sponsored aerobic workout to raise money for LEPRA. All students listened to a presentation from a member of the organisation about the disease leprosy and how it can be cured for a cost of £21. Students received certificates and a special T-shirt was awarded to those who raised over £21.
