Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ

Next Friday, 21st of June, we will host an Alumni Games where ex-students take on current students in Basketball and Football. This will be followed by a barbeque meal and gathering which will be an opportunity for students and families to talk to alumni about their lives after Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ. Tickets will be on sale at the gate each morning next week for RS1000 per person- all profits will go to our community partners.

Community Partners

On Tuesday of this week Year 3 and 4 were very excited to welcome students from Mary Ward School for an action packed morning full of exciting and engaging events. The children split into several groups with both Mary Ward and Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ students for the morning. They spent time learning songs and dances with the wonderful Ms Gilbert, creating beautiful art work using a wide range of materials and techniques, and spending time getting to know each other and building new relationships. The children worked in locations across Primary with various different Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ teachers and CLS teams and they were very excited to be able to work together and develop their creative skills as well. It was wonderful to see such positive interactions being fostered through our community partnerships and we look forward to hosting further such events in the future.

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Has Got Talent

Today is the final of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Has Got Talent, an exciting event created and organised by our fabulous House Captains. Over the course of the week, children have had the opportunity to audition in front of our House Captain panel, with finalists selected to perform at an assembly taking place this afternoon. Talents ranged from dances, scientific experiments and song medleys, with our year 6 leaders having the unenviable task of narrowing down the wide array of talents on show to a select few. We have all been impressed by the acts who auditioned and are very impressed by the wealth of talent here at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ. The final event is also being live streamed for families to be able to watch at home. Winners and photographs will be shared in next week’s Yeti News.

Leading linguists

This week, our Y10 linguists in all three GCSE languages, Mandarin, French and Spanish, have become teachers to teach the two Y4 classes some languages! Ms Titley arranged the Y4 classes into different language groups, based on what the students are interested in. The Y10 linguists spent last week designing a 15-min session for the little ones. Next week, they are going to meet again so that the Y4s can apply what they learnt this week. Stay tuned for next week’s updates!
