YEAR 7 New student perspective Reported by: Amelia Collict Moving schools in Year 7 spring term was one of the most difficult and important decisions I have ever made! For me, it was the right one. Four weeks into the summer term I feel happy, settled and enjoy all aspects of my school life. Everyday is different, with new challenges and opportunities. I am now looking forward to starting Year 8 in September.
Our time in Year 7 Reported by: Tasha Johnson On the first day of term we were all excited and a bit scared. Our form teacher is Ms Hodge and the whole class love doing art. She makes us think, concentrate and produce great art work. We have enjoyed our lessons this year and all the teachers have made us really interested in learning. Mrs Seddon and Mrs Burton organised a great Newlands trip and then some of the teachers kindly took us there. We had a great time. The climbing and ghyll scrambling was fabulous. Mr Ingram and Miss Rostron helped us on all of the activities.
Geography Reported by: Emily Maddox This term we have been learning about weather and climate, we are also having our end of year exams. We have been revising hard for them in Geography. Geography is my favourite lesson it is really interesting and we learn something different every lesson. Our exam is on flashpoints, changing faces, weather and climate and paradise lost.
YEAR 8 Reported by: Harry Trigg and Reece Parkinson At the start of the year, students began their experience of being at the top of Middle school, with the privileges that the roles entailed. ! We also got a new music teacher called Mr. Jennings, he was voted in during Year 7 in a test session where students were able to review 4 teachers who had 15 minutes to prove their skill. The new music teacher was one of the two teachers that had a form in Year 8, along with Mr Linge.! During June many events took place including Newlands, Sports day and the Year 8 ball, as well as the end of year assessments. At Newlands there was much that we could do including scrambling down a river ghyll and much more. At sports day in the Year 8 races, Tom Coen from Wyburn proved his stamina in the long distance races taking top spot in 3 events whereas James Bullock took the spot in short distance. At the Year 8 ball most of the year went to dance, eat a 3 course meal and have fun. People also improved relationships with other people (and forged new ones).! Soon in the future there are other exciting events taking place such as Awards Day and the Alton Towers trip. Some students have also auditioned to take part in Scarisbrick’s Got Talent which will take place on the ďŹ nal afternoon on school. ! In conclusion the year has been a large learning curve and also a wealth of experience has been gained for many students, due to how many events have taken place and how hard students have strived to improve their skill in all aspects of school life and as such achieve their goals.
