We finally said goodbye to our Year 11 students in style at this years Prom event This year 11 cohort has faced many challenges in it's five year journey through secondary education. They had to deal with almost two years of disruption as a result of Covid 19 Despite these adversities they really did rise to the challenge and came out smiling from most of their GCSE examinations this summer

On Thursday 22nd June, Eden held the annual prom event for the Year 11’s in Pavillion in Walthamstow This farewell party was the last time students were to be considered as Edonians before they left for the summer, and soon after, college or sixth form.

The event started at 6:30pm, with teachers and Year 11’s in attendance, and ended at 9:30pm The event commenced with awards being given out to students. Two Prom Queens, Nasrin Hassan Ali and Jana Bar, were chosen! One selected by the majority of the students and one from the majority of the teachers

Then, teachers gave small speeches dedicated to their student The event ended with what everyone usually comes for to enjoy: food A delicious dinner was served and then students and teachers said their last goodbyes (with lots of selfies and pictures) Good luck to our Year 11’s!

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a stunning sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. It builds on the story of Miles Morales, a PuertoRican and African American fifteen-year-old boy who gets bitten by a radioactive spider and gains superpowers.

Miles reconnects with Gwen Stacy, a spider-woman from another dimension Eventually, he follows Gwen to an elite society of spiderpeople found in another universe, making many new acquaintances along the way. Morales tries to join the society, but the leader – Miguel O’Hara – has other ideas. The sequel ends in a shocking plot twist, leaving viewers on the edge of their seat until the third film is released next year.

This film is full of seamless animation and humour. Minorities are well represented, with five people of colour in the main line-up of characters and many more as side characters Even a hijabi Spider-Woman makes an appearance!

Overall, I give this film 4.5/5 stars. The soundtrack doesn't quite top Into the Spider-Verse's and the cliff-hanger leaves the film feeling a bit like a two-hour build-up for the next one. However, it’s one of the best movies of the year, and I’ll be counting down the days till Beyond the SpiderVerse

Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Among Thieves is a movie worth watching if you're into the fantasy genre It is based on the Dungeons and Dragons game - usually known as D&D - but in this case, it has been called Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Among Thieves

As you watch this movie the title “Honour Among Thieves” makes more sense, since the movie is all about struggles and the determination people can muster to overcome them The movie starts with a classic prison escape which does end in success, and then concludes with a prison escape that goes horribly wrong (spoiler: he runs into a wall)

I would rate this movie as 4.5 stars out of 5 because there could have been a better plot to it was nevertheless an en
