‘All My Life’s a Cycle’
I’ve certainly felt better this week than I felt last week. These can be the most difficult weeks of the school year especially as the exam pressure builds and assessments and coursework rule the day. It is vital to keep a sense of perspective and focus on what really matters otherwise it is easy to get swamped by all that is going on.
At this point in time we begin doing a great deal of forward planning in readiness for next school year – hard to believe but unless we do certain things now important matters won’t be resolved in time for 2012-2013. All my life’s a cycle!
I have had to make two difficult decisions about a couple of our students since last I wrote. Both students have found it difficult to meet expectations and whilst we have given support and many opportunities to get it right it continues not to work. As I have just said very difficult, creating much self reflection.
I have had only a few short evening meetings. Just a couple of short Governors meetings one of which was at Cookridge Primary School – many thanks to them for their hospitality.

warhorseWar Horse (The Film) Steven Spielberg reviewed by 9B2

Yesterday 18th January 2012 9B2 took a trip to Vue Cinema Leeds to watch War Horse with Miss Drew and Mr Smith.
All of the pupils got on the Number1 bus to town. We all queued to buy our tickets, some of us got 2for1 if we had an orange network.  We all got settled into our seats (Not VIP I might add!) eating our refreshments.   All of 9B2 had a set task to jot down ideas about the actors, characters, special effects or music in the film.
Jeremy Irvine plays the character Albert, this was his first film and I’ve got to admit he was fantastic! In the film he gets very attached to Joey, his horse, when he gets sold to the army at the start of World War I, Albert got very emotional.   Jeremy Irvine played that part very well, his performance was very believable. The movie was brilliant, it was quite sad at times but it was thrilling to watch especially the part where Joey races through No-mans land and gets tangled up in barbed wire…
The question on everyone’s lips was ‘Does Albert get re-united with Joey and survive the trenches?’  I guess you’ll have to see it to find out…
Year 9 gave this fantastic film a whooping 8 out of 10!

Year 7 Pantomine Trip PDF Print E-mail

CinderellaThe ‘Cinderella Pantomime Trip’ was fantastic. We had to come back to school to take a coach at 6.00pm. On the way to the theatre, there was a lot of music and talking. Once we got to ‘Millennium Square’ we were proud to be representing our school . We parked the coach on the corner of Millennium Square and walked to the theatre. The bit that was the best were the songs. Everyone also enjoyed seeing Mrs Myers performing in the chorus. We got ice-cream, juice and sweets in the interval. The acting was very funny. The show finished at 9:34 and on the way back from the CarriageWorks theatre, everyone was even more excited on the coach. Mums and dads picked us up when we got back.

We set off from school at 5:45 and it took us about 30 minutes on the coach to get to the theatre. We were allowed to sit down in a special room at the theatre, but went to take our seats in the auditorium. Everyone received bags of chocolates and a drink. At about 7:00, the lights dimmed and the performance began. When the interval came, we received ice-creams which were vanilla flavour. Everyone ate their ice-creams and the lights dimmed again at the end of the interval. The show finished at 9:00 and we got back to school using the same coach we had travelled on. When we got back, everyone was freezing but it was worth it for such an amazing evening.
