Year 7

YEAR 7 EXPERIENCES

Out and About

Stratford was the highlight of the year for all of us. Despite the long journey, we were all very excited for the days ahead with our friends. When we arrived, the rooms caused a lot of excitement, but very soon we were all making masks. The next day, after a lovely breakfast, we set off for Warwick Castle. Everyone loved going through the walls of the castle, and we were thrilled by the wonderful bird show. Coventry Cathedral was an amazing trip back in time, where we all learnt about the tragic bomb that hit the cathedral. That night, we took part in an amazing drama workshop, organised by the teachers. On the final day, we were all reluctant to leave the hostel, but the Mad Museum cheered us all up. It was full of wonderful inventions and some were even interactive! Finally, we set off to the school of Mr. Shakespeare himself. We all got the chance to write with old fashioned quills. After an amazing trip, we set off home excited for the Chester Zoo trip! Charlotte Reece 7S

Year 7 Concert

We enjoyed the Year 7 concert which gave us a chance to sing together and showcase our musical talents. The theme was One Love Manchester – all of the songs were taken from the One Love Concert and we especially enjoyed learning them. The songs were Don’t Look Back in Anger, Wings, One Last Time, Rule the world, Angels and Roar (Miss Hincks’s favourite)! My form formed a band for the concert: Nathalie, Alice and Shaili on violins, drums by Natasha, piano by Molly and Phoebe, and flute by Esha. Everyone really loved listening to the band because it was the first Year 7 band ever in Bolton School. We would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Price and Mrs Wade for helping organise the concert and teaching us all the songs in time. Isobel Pursey 7C

Advent for the Homeless

An idea from Alice Edwards turned 7C’s annual Advent Calendar into an endeavour to help the homeless. In the run-up to the Christmas holiday, instead of gifting each other with Advent treats, the girls brought in useful items such as gloves, scarves, hats, water bottles, flasks and writing materials to be passed on to the local homeless via Sunday Street Kitchen.

Formby

The whole of Year 7 enjoyed brilliant sunshine for the Geography trip to Formby.
