SECOND YEAR ENGLISH BAKE AYE AYE, I SMELL TREASURE!
2S
got crafty in the kitchen making ‘Treasure Island’ themed treats during one of their English lessons after half-term. They produced some inspired (and complex!) bakes, taking the form of desert islands, pirate ships, treasure chests, golden coins - even a bottle of rum! They demonstrated amazing skill and determination and their enthusiasm was off the charts.
Poetry by Heart
NATIONAL FINAL Following a superb performance and win by First Year pupil Charlie S in our school Poetry by Heart competition with The Sleepy Giant by Charles E Carryl, a video of Charlie’s recitation was submitted to the national competition in the Poetry Celebration category. The English Department are thrilled to announce that Charlie came in the top 10 of the national finalists! The judges gave warm praise commenting “This is a really confident and delightfully eccentric performance which fitted
the poem brilliantly. You paced it well and we loved the way you used your voice to convey the size and character of the giant” With no overall winner, just the top ten recitations selected, this really is an outstanding achievement and delightful for Charlie to be recognised at a national level.
