The 2013 summer school offered our new students the opportunity to get to know their school surroundings before the autumn term starts. They are given opportunities to make friends and develop a range of skills throughout the week, enabling them to develop confidence and their self-esteem in their new environment. Students got to know their new school by interacting with the volunteer prefects, who showed them around the school and helped them to participate in the activities on offer.

A range of activities The students participated in a range of exciting and fun learning activities, which included: dance and sport; the Bronze Arts Award; cookery and rocket making; film-making and circus skills. Students also visit the Wysing Arts Centre in Bourn.

Team building Students were asked to work together cooperatively, which enabled them to make friends and supportive friendship groups for the new term and their career at Melbourn Village College.

Newton 4 Fundraiser As I am sure you are aware each Newton form takes it in turn to host a fundraise and on Thursday the 23rd of May it was the turn of Newton 4. Newton 4 decided to raise money by holding a “teacher drenching” and managed to raise £40. This money will be split between Scope and the paediatric intensive care unit at Addenbrookes Hopsital. Students would like to thank Mrs McHugh, Miss King, Miss Rich and Mr melbournmagazine
