French dogs!

Nathan gave a super presentation this afternoon on Pyrenean mountain dogs, which he had researched for his French studies.

Presentation, presentation, presentation!

This morning, S1/2 paid a visit to Mr Jewell's class, where they gave their presentations on what it is like to move up into secondary school. All the groups did very well, and received some very positive feedback from the pupils in Mr Jewell's class.

Encore de la grammaire

Today in French, Chloe and Jessica from S3 gave a presentation on -re verbs, and the class then did some work on them. Last week's work on -ir verbs certainly paid off, as they all got 10/10 in their test on them this morning. C'est fantastique!

S4/5 drama

S4/5 dramatists have begun work on their production piece which will be externally examined in March. It is a play called "Can you hear the music?" and is the tale of 6 mice who get whisked away by the magic of a sinister piper's music...

Deborah is in charge of the set so she and Megan were measuring the hall and making notes on Wednesday:

With the kind help of Andrew Collins, we were able to begin creating a match box bed, complete with giant matches, and a giant cotton reel - the thread will be on it shortly!

S4 dramatists have also been working on another play called "Blackout" as part of their Drama Skills unit - they will be performing it next Thursday:
