Keeping parents and students informed Term 3 Letter 4 Friday 30 January 2015 Attendance Reward Well done to all the students in Year 7, 8 and 9 who achieved 100% attendance during Term 1 and Term 2. Their reward is a lunchtime screening of Frozen (sing-a-long version) on Friday 13 February. Students may bring a packed lunch. Art Trip On Wednesday this week, thirty eight Year 9 art students embarked on a trip to the National Portrait Gallery. Students were able to see works of art that they have been studying in class as part of their ‘Portraiture’ project. For example, Marc Quinn’s self-portrait ‘Self’ which features the artist’s own blood, along with more traditional portraiture in the Tudor galleries. The students will now use what they have seen and learnt to inform the production of their own self-portrait. A big thank you to the members of staff that made the trip possible. KS3 Stem Club This week the ‘Stemmies’ learnt about the principles of flight and Mr Bernoulli’s theory on pressure differentials! The Stemmies are gearing up to apply this knowledge to their first design of a powered flying machine under the watchful eye of Mr Bell. The Stemmies have taken off in their pursuit of the perfect design and the sky is the limit when it comes to their ideas. In time we will see if their designs arrive on time with a successful first flight. Year 11 Art exam All year 11 Art students received their EDEXCEL Art & Design exam paper nearly three weeks ago.
