Another enjoyable discussion group with y8 this morning. We discussed pranks played when parents were at school, the horror of not having the internet for homework help (!!) and a story about students jumping out of their science class window.... 🙈🙈

For next week I have challenged y8 to chat about things that children have now that parents / grandparents didn’t have but would have liked... like the internet, phones etc. How did they manage without these things? ☎️😱

This evening I took some inspiration from the talented y8s and did some baking of my own.... gluten free scones 👍🏼 just a little bit bigger then I had planned.... 🍓🍰

These look delicious!

Half way through the week y8. I’ve had a look on EduLink and can see so many of you ticking off lots of different subjects... keep going you’re all doing fantastically well!

A brilliant Shakespeare play with a fab modern twist! Check it out! 🤗

Such a lovely way to start the week with virtual tutor time. I loved seeing so many y8s this morning and know the tutors did too! 😁😁

A reminder that there is another virtual tutor time tomorrow morning. Same place (Zoom link you used on Monday) and same time (8:45-9:10) I’m already looking forward to it and hope the y8s are too 😁

So lovely to see so many smiley faces this morning at the y8 Awards Assembly. I am so so proud of every single one of the y8s and all they have achieved during the school year and lockdown. Such a fantastic year group and I’ve been so lucky to be their Head of Year 😊

Some summer inspiration! ☀️🏝

Y8 we are so close to the Summer Holidays! Keep going...3 and a half days left of Home Learning then many weeks to rest, recharge and relax. You can do this 👏🏼👏🏼⭐️⭐️📚📚

What a year! To y8 - you are absolutely the best year group ever. Take care of yourselves and each other, reflect on your successes, take time to rest and relax and remember to keep having fun! I know you’ll all be amazing when you return in y9. See you all soon! Miss Chambers 😊
