Sports Day

Tomorrow is the Primary Sports Day and an event I have been looking forward to. If you are able to come along and support the students it would be great to see you there. 

Could I remind all students that they should come to school in PE kit, with a hat, sun cream already applied (and extra if they need to reapply later in the day), a snack and a bottle of water. We will be back in time for lunch. 

Good luck to everyone!

Let's go 5L! 

Parque Biológico

Today, Form 5 had a fantastic day at Parque Biologico. It was a great experience and formed part of the transition of Form 5 into Secondary as Mr Hooley joined us for the day to provide some insightful Geography tasks. Everyone was extremely well behaved and we managed to see many different species of animals and plants.

Check out the 'Class Photographs' page for some action shots!

Congratulations!

This morning I had to pinch myself to make sure the Form 5L Checkpoint results were not a dream that I had!

I would like to congratulate every single pupil on their achievements. Some of you achieved personal goals that were set at the beginning of Form 4! (Can you remember that day waaaaaaay back in September 2013?!)

Yesterday you could not wipe the smile off my face and I would like to thank everyone for all their hard work and determination over the past two years. 

You guys deserve all the credit!

Congratulations!! 

Good Luck!

Good luck to all Form 5 students who will have some Form 6 taster lessons tomorrow. 

I hope you all enjoy the experience! 

Birthday Celebrations!

Today we celebrated Tommy's birthday in class. He brought in a fantastic cake which sums up what Form 5 has been all about this year!!! Thanks Tommy, the cake was delicious!!!! 

Form 6 Transition Day

On Wednesday 17th June, the students of Form 5 will have a transition morning in the Secondary section. 

The timetable will be very similar (though perhaps not identical) to the following:

Period 2 - Meet Mr Jones, Miss Corcoran and Miss Denisova

Period 3 - 5L Maths Lesson

Period 4 - 5L Science Lesson

Period 5 - 5L English Lesson

Period 6 - Meet Mr Jones in Teague Hall

Water

Please could I ask that all students bring a bottle of water to school each day.

Many students are asking to leave class to go and drink water which means the work they are completing is being interrupted. When the weather is hot we will have some breaks outside for the students to get some fresh air in the shade but having a bottle of water with them would help maintain levels of concentration.

Thanks!

Pirates of the Curry Bean

Thank you to all those who came along last night to support the Form 5 production of 'Pirates of the Curry Bean'.

I am sure you were thoroughly impressed with the quality of acting, singing and dancing.

If you are coming tonight then I hope you have a fantastic time.

There are some photographs from the rehearsal in the 'class photographs' page.

Tickets

There are a few tickets remaining for the performance of Pirates of the Curry Bean on Thursday and Friday evening. If you have some friends who would enjoy seeing some fantastic dance moves, great song lyrics and excellent acting, please invite them along to support the Form 5 students! 

I look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday or Friday! 

Final Touches

Today the Form 5's had the first opportunity to perform Pirates of the Curry Bean from beginning to end at the Nevogilde Theatre. Everything seems to be coming together though I would urge everyone to take a few minutes tonight and tomorrow night to think about the song lyrics and dance moves, feedback they have received about voice (volume, tone, etc) and positioning on stage so that they are confident going into the dress rehearsal on Wednesday.
