Romeo and Juliet

The whole of Year 9 watched a performance of Romeo and Juliet by the Young Shakespeare Company today. The pupils helped to direct scenes from the play ,telling the actors the way that they should deliver their lines and how the play should be performed. Everyone enjoyed the show!

KS3 Enterprise Week - Year 9

Year 9 participated in their annual enterprise day and this time the challenge was much tougher than they expected. The pupils started off learning about the different types of qualities and skills that they have and how they can use members of their groups to work together using those skills in order to compete with other groups.

The challenge for our pupils was to create a 3D roller coaster given paper, card, sticky tape, glue and scissors. They had to use the resources available to them and design a roller coaster where a marble was placed at the start of the track and had to go around to the finish without stopping or falling off.

Pupils worked really hard and gained bonus points for teamwork and resolving any conflicts that they had. They had to test their roller coaster in front of an audience and present their findings. They were given marks throughout the workshop. It was a fun day during which all members of the year group contributed.
