The highlight for us has been that our year group has finally been able to be together after the separation and home school of Year 7. Friendships developed – some old, some new – and being able to mix was what we had all missed in our first year. The long-awaited trip to Patterdale brought us closer together. Sporting fixtures were back on too and this meant that Year 8 girls could represent the school in netball, hockey lacrosse, tennis, climbing, water polo and football. Performing Arts events and live audiences were another welcome return to normality. Lunchtime clubs have been keeping us busy too and interform competitions have fostered a spirit of competition and team building. Year 8 has given us the chance to succeed in all areas of school life and to contribute more to the school community.

8S:

Our class have had many memorable moments. Firstly, we won inter-form Netball and Lacrosse, which everyone enjoyed playing in. Another top moment came when we were isolating and we created the pepper cult as well as the shrimp group, where we all changed our Zoom backgrounds to shrimp. Even when we were working from home, 8S have been able to keep our form spirit! We have all loved Year 8 and we are looking forward to Year 9, especially the Duke of Edinburgh award.

8G:

8G has had a fantastic year, from winning the inter-form maths challenge to the great teamwork and support in the inter-form lacrosse. As a result of the hard work and determination, we came second in the interform netball competition. We’re are looking forward to future competition and sports fixtures. 8G supported the WWF charity with a sell-out sweet sale raising a lot of money! What great work from 8G’s charity representatives and all the volunteers!

8C:

Many interesting things have happened this year, thank you to Bolton School. We have had many fun projects such as our RS and English videos. Patterdale was great fun as it gave us a chance to have fun with our friends. There were many challenges held this year, including the Wellgood maths competition which we won. There has always been something going on in Year 8 every day, creating great memories that we will all cherish.

8D:

Highlights of the year for 8D include the trip to Patterdale because we got to develop our team building skills. We went kayaking and we all fell in! We loved hosting a sweet sale and raising money for charity. We loved our sailing trip even though the water was freezing! As a form, we have thoroughly enjoyed all the activities available this year.
