Poetry Please

'Imagine! Thought Provoking Poetry' is a book of UK poets, published by 'YoungWriters'. Although 2 of our students didn't win the competition, their poems were in their recent publication - ISBN 9781800153332.

Here's a heartfelt contribution from one of our young people, JK:

My One Wish

I have just one wish

Simple though it may be

It's the one thing that is best for me

I want to go home

I need to feel free

Feel the warmth of my family

It's been so long

Trying to put right what I've done wrong

the way you do that is to behave and be strong

It's up to me to mend my ways

I'll do what everyone says

My wish will come true one day.

Term Championship Scrabble

Scrabble is a game everyone can play, it's fun, and it's a good way to increase vocabulary - and not time try and get away with 'colourful' words.

With the proliferation of Word games on computers and smartphones, each term it is necessary for our competitive wordsmiths to play it properly - using the famous Scrabble board game.

While some lessons are conducted online, and after school games consoles are a favourite pass-time for young people, the real-world Scrabble remains our undisputed king of the boardgames.

Even if a pupil turns their nose up at playing, it is human nature to soon want to get involved. Especially when there is a trophy involved.
