Our Heads of House set the challenge to both staff and students to be more active during Lockdown 3.0. Weekly walk, run and cycle totals were submitted by participants with the aim of clocking up enough miles to have virtually walked the coastline of Britain.

Results are in!

The total of 8679 miles gives us enough distance to have walked to Land’s End (from Purton), to have walked around the UK coastline, walk back to Purton via Stonehenge and then decide that once back that we needed an ice cream in Weymouth before returning to Purton one final time! Thank you to everyone who took part. We hope that as life gradually returns to normal that you keep your new active lifestyle!

Miss Noon reports: Year 7 students have been reading the edited school production version of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. In this scheme of work students have been exploring character development, creating their own ‘Sweet Invention’ and have looked at designing and producing their own advertisement for their inventions. This has helped develop their own creative process, including how to plan and structure their work. Producing an advertisement encourages use of their acting skills when using video, (voice, movement, facial expression, eye contact, gestures, best video angles). Students will also be developing a new child character to take into Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.

Below is a montage from some of the adverts created. We think you’ll agree, they’re pretty good!
