LILLE TRIP

On the 13th of December students in all years crossed borders into France to visit the Lille Christmas Market. They ate tons of great food and enjoyed the holiday culture!

GEOGRAPHY TRIP

Last term forty year 11  students ventured deep into the  forest to complete their geography field work. The signs did not look good, it had poured with rain all night, and was still raining as we left. Everyone was concerned: would it be too wet? would the river be flooded? would there be enough wellies?! Our intrepid bunch headed north of London to the Epping Forest. Once there they started in the classroom revising some key river knowledge, we then went out onto the hill and had a look at some mud - some people though were too scared to touch the mud (mentioning no names JRS and BG). After lunch the real fun started, we went to Debden Brook, a nearby river. When we were there we measured things like the speed of the river, its depth and width, we even picked up rocks from the river bed and measured them! Luckily, no one fell in the river but there were some wet feet when wellies flooded. Over all, the day was a great success we all had fun and we collected all the data we need to complete our controlled assessments which go towards our Geography GCSE.... Now the hard work starts - writing it up!

Special thanks need to be given to members of the Rotary Club of Crowthorne and Sandhurst who donated wellies so we could all go in the river!

GUARDIAN NEWS AND MEDIA CENTRE

My AS Communication and Culture class alongside members of the newspaper club were invited to The Guardian News and Media Centre in London on the 12th of December. Once we arrived there we made our way to the Education Centre whilst admiring the retro-looking building. We had to do some group activities which involved looking at newspapers and deciding which image we liked the best. After the activities, we had a tour around the site. We also had a chance to see some snippets of the following day’s paper. After the tour, we had a Q&A with journalist, Maeve Shearlaw. Overall, I really found the trip to be really insightful and exciting.

MERCHANT OF VENICE AT THE GLOBE THEATRE

On Wednesday 19th, March Year 8 went to the Globe Theatre to see William Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice. We journeyed into Central London and saw lots of sights on the way like the Golden Hind and           St Paul's Cathedral.The play was better than reading it in class because it was funny and had a modern twist. We also had the opportunity to see it in the theatre that people would have visited in the Elizabethan times.
My favourite part of the play was the beginning because it involved the audience singing and dancing. It was great fun with everyone singing Pharell's Happy with the actors! I enjoyed the Merchant of Venice and I would love for the opportunity to see it again. I learnt a lot about the treatment of Jewish people during Shakespearean times.
