Our students are now two weeks into their first block of period 7 choices for the year and enjoying a wide range of opportunities offered by our staff team who go above and beyond to make Period 7 a truly enriching experience.  New opportunities this year include Architecture, Cubing, Pokemon, Music Appreciation, Chinese Karaoke, EconoME, MakeCode Arcade, Image Editing, Stage Lighting and Italian.  We are also very lucky to be able to offer Criminology sessions, run by a parent volunteer. 

Year 9 have been very keen to take up a new sport of frisbee golf – as evidenced here: 

     

Whilst Year 10 and 11 are taking up some actual golf with a lot of enthusiasm, here they are in action:

These all sit alongside seasoned favourites like Poi and mindful colouring. Period 7 blocks last for 9 weeks, so these options will run until 23rd November, with Block 2 starting the following week.

Thank you so much to everyone who entered our KWS Library Something Summer Reading Challenge. We loved reading all the reviews and seeing which old, new, borrowed and blue books our students were reading during the holidays! We have now drawn the winners and Ellie B (year 8) will be receiving a £25 Waterstones voucher, with Lucy H and Riley W receiving a £10 voucher each.

We have also had a wonderful week introducing all our new year 7s to the library and can’t wait to share some of our fabulous new books with them.
