9C3 produced the video clip, which can be accessed through the link below, as a homework task linked to their work on media. The quality of the work is exceptional and has been praised by their class teacher Ms Nettleton. Thank you to Ella, Laura, Jasmine, Rhoda and Maddy for setting such a high standard.
8W4
During RE lessons with Mr McLeish, students have been exploring the issues of freedom of speech and the rights to protest or to be heard, which are not available in some other countries.
Having explored the issues, beginning with the protests in Tiananmen Square, students held their own protest on the patio, with banners demanding the right to have a choice. The authorities enjoyed the spectacle, on what was a wet and windy day. The serious message in this series of lessons will never be forgotten by these groups of young people.
8W4The students in 8W4 yesterday afternoon were challenged by Miss Lister to work in groups to research a specific type of Civil War soldier; to find out what armour the Pikemen, Musketeers and Cavalry wore and then recreate their signature ‘look’ from limited resources for a ‘catwalk show’, where they explained their chosen soldier to the rest of the group. 8WI also did this task earlier the same day, but they were rather more camera shy!
Everyone who has been to see The Sound of Music, being staged at the Rhoda McGaw theatre has come back singing the praises of the cast and the production team. Both Mr Donaldson and Mr Jolly have, again, created a production of which we can be extremely proud. I am looking forward to tonight's final performance.
