It's been a wonderful week as Classes 11 and 12 were fortunate enough to be able to travel to Queen Elizabeth Hall to see a live orchestra perform the music from the 'The Snowman'. It was an incredibly enriching experience and we hope that there might be some inspired musicians in our class. We also enjoyed our Christmas fayre and Christmas jumper days and the festivities will continue next week in the last week of term.

This week has been challenging for the students as they have been put through their paces with assessments in Maths and English. We are very proud of everyone's attitude and approach to the assessments which can be daunting and are sure that it will show the rewards of the hard work and progress that we see in their work every week.
Outside of this we have been studying the life of Charles Dickens and have written biographies on the life of one of Britain's most renowned authors. It has certainly been a change of pace after four weeks of looking and writing our own fables and legends but everyone has adapted very well and demonstrated their abilities to understand the changes which need to take place when writing for different audiences and purpose. To read more into the life of Charles Dickens or to recap on what we have been learning in class, check out this website: Who was Charles Dickens? - BBC Bitesize
Some of Dicken's works have been made into easy-to-watch youtube videos. Here are the links of some to watch to help to deepen your knoweldge and acquaint yourself with his stories.

Lots of singing and dancing along, "it's behind you" and "oh no you didnt"'s later we all had a great time. Well done to everyone for being really well behaved, responsible for the younger years during the walk to the theatre and for showing a really good image of the school, we're very proud of you!
