How Mr Curt's class reacted to Burns Day

School luncheon was different, to say the least, on Robert Burns' birthday. Visit the Pupil Blog to see what Mr Curt's own class made of it.

Here is one we prepared earlier . . .

Year 6 Cell-Builders

The Science lab took on a distinctly 'Blue Peter' feel to it this week as both Year 6 classes rose to the challenge of designing and building 3-D models of plant and animal cells. Lots of shredded paper, shoe-boxes and tennis balls were transformed into cytoplasm, cell walls and nuclei, which really helped all the Year 6 pupils to learn their new cell structure vocabulary.

Now, where is that sticky back plastic . . . ?

The date of departure is approaching fast! We would like to invite you to a meeting on Tuesday 31st January at 4.15pm in the French Room to finalise a few details and give out some paperwork for completion. If at all possible, we would be grateful if at least one parent per child attends. Please be reminded that your child needs an up-to-date passport and European Health Card (available online - www.ehic.org.uk/).

Merci beaucoup!

To The Trees . . .

Our new treehouse is officially opened!

This year we are fortunate enough to have a brand new treehouse on the old 'climbing' tree, and on Wednesday morning a large group of excited children (and one or two excited teachers . . .) watched in wonder as it was officially opened. A huge thank you to the S.E.C. for funding the build - we are very grateful. We are all looking forward to many hours of tree-based fun in the future!

In the words of Sam in Form 3: 'That is one awesome treehouse!'

I Was A Teenage Jekyll and Hyde

Senior School Play

The Autumn term ended with the Senior School putting on a fantastic performance of 'I Was A Teenage Jekyll and Hyde' (Randall Lewton) as a capacity audience laughed their way through an insightful, and at times frightening, journey into the teenage psyche. Everyone in Form 7 and 8 took part in the production, either on stage or behind the scenes, and should be very proud of their efforts. Thanks again must go to the incredibly hard-working team that made it such a success, especially Mrs Hayward for her work on the costumes, Mr Culley, The Smith Family, The Oatleys, Mr Gates-Fleming and Miss Robinson. I would finally like to thank the entire cast and crew for making it such a success, and for making me laugh in each and every rehearsal. Well done everyone!

Mr Collings (Director)
