Shout Outs

Staff have been sending in messages to let school know about the good work students are producing while they are learning from home and we wanted to share these with you.

Mrs Weightman Edge wanted a shout out for these year 8 students who are producing lovely work:  Mya-Rose (Y8)  Jojo (Y8)

Mr Webb has asked his English students to send in their work as he would ‘love to see what you are all up to’ – a shout goes out for:  Evelyn (Y8) for her detailed description of what it may be like to be stranded on a desert island  Charlotte (Y8) for her unbelievably detailed (and delicious-sounding) desert island  Madison (Y7) for her brilliantly persuasive argument on whether there's too much money in sport

Ms Davies has been sent a great piece of work from Georgina (Y7) who has clearly spent focused time making sure that everything is in proportion and in the right place for her work ‘a view from her window’.

Mrs Andrews has shared three examples of work completed in the last week from year 8 and 9 MFL students and commented that they are outstanding in the quality and demonstration of independent learning ability:

India (Y9) - German grammar Olivia (Y9) - German culture (the one with the flags) Alex (Y8) - French verbs

The maths department have selected some students from each year group who they have been really impressed with this week. They have shown great independent study skills and have worked really hard! Well done, keep up the good work.

Mrs Bowen wanted a shout out for Sophie (Y9) who has been doing some 'culture vulture' work in French (see inset).

Ms Dowle and Mr Thoday would like to pass on a huge well done to all of the students working closely with learning support to get their work done – you are all showing brilliant determination and resilience, well done!

Miss Hughes would like to thank all chemistry students messaging her, asking for help to complete their work and sending in photos of their work for marking - well done to all and thank you (Miss Hughes said there are too many students to name).

Mrs Barker set Y10 geography students a fieldwork task about infiltration rates to do in their gardens – Daisy has produced some lovely work (see inset). This will be brilliant practice for our real (Edale) trip... whenever that happens!

Mrs Millington is really pleased to see how much hard work her geography students are doing.

Year 9's have carried out their assessment and she has already received several back, so thank you and well done to Eleanor, Jasmine, Zaid, Matilda, Sam, Georgina, Eleanor and Ellie.

Year 8 have submitted excellent reports to on the threats to Arctic environments some good examples were from Callum, Evelyn, Alex and Sam - keep up the good learning.

Lots of students in year 9 have been superstars with their geography this week. Most students in each of the classes have been busy on Show My Homework completing a quiz to consolidate their understanding on ecosystems, OS maps, rivers, coasts, weather and globalisation.

There have also been lots of students emailing assessments to their teachers and have written some great answers showing they have been revising hard, they especially impressed us with their answers on ecosystems and globalisation. It has been great to hear from them with cheery messages asking us how we are doing and wishing everyone well.

Thank you all from Mrs Cruise and the geography team.

Well done to all Highfields students for the excellent commitment and dedication you are showing in all your subjects – keep up the good work and if you are struggling, remember you can always email subject teachers or pastoral staff from your school email to ask for help.
