Monday 8th May – Friday 11th May 2012

Week B

Over the year we all celebrate some kind of special occasion e.g. birthday, wedding, holiday etc. These are often unique events which will remind us of a period in time or a unique part of our journey through life.   Linked with these events are memories, places and individuals. The events we experience all contribute to who we are, making up the complex puzzle of us. There are many special occasions at school which will contribute to this. They start with Year 7 induction day and continue in more individual ways until the Year 11 Leavers Assembly.

Exams are on the horizon for many students over the next few weeks.   For many they will decide the path which your journey will continue upon. Other events will be a memory of a stage in your life.

The Year 11 Leavers Mass last Friday is exactly that. Celebrating the time spent at St Edmund’s and thanking God for the successful journey so far travelled, asking for guidance, support and strength in the final GCSE exams over the next six weeks.

  Our whole school focus the ‘Environment’ links into our journey in that we want it to be the best possible. There has been a fantastic improvement in people not dropping litter over the past few weeks. Remember that any damage to the site will mean less improvement’s to our school over the summer. For example, we had a computer damaged last week in Room 64. This will mean one less new bench for the playground next year. Do not let others take away valuable resources from you.

Last week in your learning I was impressed with the ‘can do’ attitude shown by students trying hard with some difficult work. We do not always ‘get something’ straight away so not giving up is essential if we are finally to understand an idea/concept/principle etc.

Individuals/groups who have stood out this week are:

Josie Lake – Maths – working hard on fractions.

Zdenek Kalock and Poppie Jeram – working hard on Maths tests.

Tamara Edwards – Art – fantastic painting/drawing.

Kairon Robb and Tom Shaw – amazing Maths work. Neat and well organised.

Miss Bourdiaux’s Year 8 French group – work on finding way on the French underground.

Declan Roberts and Hannah Hughes – answering questions following French listening.
