Have a lovely half-term break and we will look forward to welcoming back all our pupils and students at the usual time of 8.35am on Monday 4th November.
On Wednesday afternoon, an amazing group of Year 8 students celebrated their hard work this half term with a fun event alongside the Year 8 pastoral team and the Food Department.
They unleashed their creativity by making spooky pizzas, each one reflecting their unique style!
It was a fantastic way to wrap up the term. Great job, Year 8! Keep up the amazing effort!馃帀馃崟
Well done to everyone who submitted a poem in the Library鈥檚 Annual Poetry Competition 鈥� you have all received positive points!
As difficult as it was to choose, we have found our winner and runner up!
Congratulations to this year鈥檚 winner, Imogen (Year 8) for her fantastic series of Haiku on each of the planets. A haiku is a poem of three lines with the first and last lines containing five syllables with the middle line containing seven syllables. We loved the imagery and complexity of Imogen鈥檚 poems and that each planet had its own Haiku poem.
Narrowly missing out on first place is our runner-up, Megan (Year 7) for her highly entertaining poem, Cow on Mars, which had us laughing out loud at the antics of Nathan, the cow, and how he ended up on Mars!
Prizes of Amazon vouchers, books and sweets were awarded to them both.
Verse 1:
People carrying bags of sweets,
Because it is trick or treat.
People feeling really scared,
Cobwebs hanging everywhere!
People dress up as monsters,
And do cool activities!
Chorus:
Pumpkins sitting on people鈥檚 doorsteps,
Ghosts haunting your nightmares.
Skeletons dotted here and there,
Zombies linger everywhere!
Spiders hang from trees and
Witches do what they please!
Because it is trick or treat!
Verse 2:
Lightning flashes,
Thunder booms,
Because it鈥檚 Halloween,
(The scariest night of the year!)
The wind howls like a werewolf,
And the rain pours on you!
Verse3:
People get stuck in mazes,
People carve out pumpkin faces.
People make toffee apples.
For it is Halloween,
(The scariest night of the year!)
Chorus:
Pumpkins sitting on people鈥檚 doorsteps,
Ghosts haunting your nightmares.
Skeletons dotted here and there,
Zombies linger everywhere!
Spiders hang from trees and
Witches do what they please!
Because it is trick or treat!
Verse 4:
But it鈥檚 the end of Halloween,
And everyone starts going to bed.
The Zombies drag their feet away.
The spiders retreat to their webs.
Pumpkins bounce away,
Witches fly into the sky,
But the skeletons stay where they are,
Ready for next year鈥檚 Halloween!
