school ski trip next Easter. If your child has not
brought a letter home, but think they should have,
please contact the school office.
Maths Challenge
Mr Butcher took a team of Year 9 pupils to Millfield
School for a very large regional Maths competition.
All Saints School came somewhere in the middle of
the group of very brainy people and can hold their
heads up high for their achievement, well done.
The Geology and Geography students are travelling
with a group called ‘The Cultural Experience’ to the
south of the island to look at the exciting Geology
there. They will be experiencing the simulator at the
Earthquake centre, standing in the canyon between
two continental plates, looking at the volcanic
beaches, and seeing dramatic geysers and
waterfalls. One highlight of the trip is sure to be
swimming in the geothermally heated blue lagoon.
Eden Project
The Geography Department took 50 pupils down to
the Eden Project in Cornwall earlier this term. They
saw sculptures, food production, tropical birds, visited
Africa, Australia, Asia and South America, all in a day.
For further details of the trip please see the news
page on our website.
Duke of Edinburgh
The Year 10 Duke of Edinburgh challengers are in
practise for their mammoth weekend camping and
hiking expedition. They recently completed a 10 mile
walk, with ruck sacks. I am delighted to report they all
made it into school the following day. Scooting and biking?
ALE Payments Change to the School Day
All payments should now have been made for ALE
week. If you have not yet paid deposits please do so,
we can then finalise all activities. Many thanks. Mr Broadway wrote to you all last week to inform
you of a trial change to the school day, effective
after May half term. Please see the website for a
copy of the letter. The short version is that school
will finish at 3.05pm on a trial basis.
Iceland
Mr Sadler, Miss Wright, Mr Bennett and Mrs Dring will
be taking a group of 40 pupils to Iceland this Easter.
Just a reminder that if pupils ride a scooter or bike
to school they must wear a helmet and not ride on
site, they also need a permission form from Mr
Stradling.
Year 9 £10 Challengers
We have just completed our first attempt at the £10
Challenge last month. 6 teams were lent a £10 start
-up fund to see if they could turn it around and
make a profit. The teams all did extremely well,
although there are some challenges keeping up
with the paperwork! Once this is all in and together
we will be announcing how well they all did.
