What's on @preselienglish?
3
September 2013 will see the launch of @preselienglish, the departmental blog which will provide us with a digital platform to advertise all of our latest news and achievements. It is in its embryonic stage right now and my hope is to get it up and running with current content by September 30th. It is a place for us to celebrate all that we do, as well as somewhere to advertise upcoming trips and competitions available to all students. It is currently set up to play host to the Only Boys Allowed blog, led by Mr Owen Thomas, as well as the 6th Form Blog, jointly run by Ms Chantel Mathias and Mrs Shelley Lewis; so these will be ongoing projects this term too. If anyone has any innovative ideas. please bring them along to the next departmental meeting.
C2C Book Club
The new issue of Cover 2 Cover is out offering a great range of
discounted books for all of our key stage 3 students. Remember,
the department receives 20% of the sales to spend on renewing
our classroom libraries so Sell, Sell, Sell! Orders need to be in
by the beginning of October so that they arrive before half term.
As I am sure we all know,
rehearsals are well underway for this year's SSF.
I would like to extend thanks to Mrs Ruth Cummins
and Mr Owen Thomas for their work so far in
choosing a talented cast to bring the magic and mayhem of A Midsummer Night's Dream to the stage at the Torch Theatre, Milford this year. There is a whole cast day scheduled for September 30th and the final performance is on Wednesday, 6th November. Please be sure to buy a ticket if you wish to attend as free tickets are reserved for the directors and cast only. Break a leg everyone!
Thanks goes out to Miss Lowri Harris who has
re-established Film Club for year 7 and 8 students
this year. The club is held after school on Thursday
and Friday afternoons - can we all advertise this
great after school club to all of our classes to get
the club going and show our support?
