Visitors from Wave Utilities UK, a water and wastewater retailer, have been in school today to deliver a Super Learning Day to Year 9 students.
A select group of Year 7 students have been taking part in a lunchtime Spanish club all year with Mrs Peters and Mr Watson. The culmination of that this week was a trip to Tapas Revolution in Newcastle, where they put their language skills to the test, ordering in Spanish and trying some authentic Spanish tapas.
After the snow interrupted our original plan for World Book Day, it took place a week later, and there were plenty of activities on offer for Year 7.
As well as dressing up as literary characters for the day, there were creative writing workshops, a lunchtime quiz and prizes for the most effective participants and the most creative thinkers.
£123.14 was raised throughout the day and will be donated to Book Aid.

Well done to everyone, on stage and behind the scenes, who were involved with our two productions of ‘Grease’ this week. Our students once again proved what a talented bunch they are with a stunning and dramatic musical performance. Thanks to all who attended! Here are a selection of photographs from both evenings.
A reminder that our two showings of Grease take place this week, on both Wednesday and Thursday evening! Tickets can still be purchased from the LRC.
A small group of Year 9 students travelled to the Lake District for a weekend retreat, taking part in motivational team building exercises. Competing against other schools, they were the weekend winners and are currently the overall leaders in the schools challenge cup with just one weekend of teams to go.
