Due to a worldwide pirate lockdown, Robinson Crus

Due to a worldwide pirate lockdown, Robinson Crusoe & the Caribbean Pirates is unable to set sail this year as planned. But fear not, Wickersley Panto will (hopefully!) return this December with a special one-act 70-minute production of CINDERELLA – the most magical pantomime of them all!⠀
⠀
Join Cinderella as she faces her Wicked Stepmother and two very Ugly Sisters before she can find true love with the handsome Prince Charming. It’ll be a carnival of fun, frolics and – just maybe – our traditional visit from Father Christmas himself.⠀
⠀
Dust off your glass slippers and prepare to have a ball!⠀
⠀
Ordinarily, tickets would be on sale by now but we will be holding off until well into the Autumn when we’re absolutely sure we can go ahead. This year tickets will be at the reduced price of £5.00.⠀
⠀
If the show can go on, it will!⠀
⠀
Due to the exceptional circumstances this year we have already cast Cinderella with experienced panto performers from Years 10-12. We will hold open auditions for Robinson Crusoe in the Summer Term of 2021. ⠀

We have had some amazing History work produced by

We have had some amazing History work produced by Louis Thompson in Y9, we have started to look at World War One and trench warfare during History lessons at home. He even wrote what he did using Historical detail!⠀
⠀
“The trenches were made in a zigzag pattern, this was so if the enemy was to capture a part of the trench they wouldn’t be able to shoot down the line of trenches. My model shows a British trench under attack by German forces. It shows barbed wire and sandbags which are ways to defend the trench against enemy attack.⠀
In my model, you can see a crater made by a shell explosion, which is being used by a German soldier for cover while crossing No Man’s Land. Conditions were poor in the British trenches, as shown by the puddle on the trench floor and a rat.⠀
I made the trench using foam, plaster of paris, clay, wire and toothpicks. As shown by the images it was made in three sections. Two sections were the walls of the trench, and the third section was No Man’s Land.”⠀
⠀
What a fantastic effort Louis!⠀

Coming back to school work following a holiday can

Coming back to school work following a holiday can often be hard, but many students have again taken to working from home well. We are looking forward to welcoming them back to school when told we can do so, however, we do know that students will be learning some valuable skills too at this time, notably, resilience when they try different ways of working without constant support; problem-solving as they try to navigate new material in new ways, and of course independence too. If this weeks home learning newsletter is anything to go by, lots of reasons that the students should be proud of their efforts.⠀

Hannah Worsdall Y8 has created this fantastic mode

Hannah Worsdall Y8 has created this fantastic model of Icarus for her English work on Myths and Legends. Students were asked to design either a labyrinth, Icarus’ wings or a mechanical toy, based on their reading of the story. Hannah chose to design Icarus’ wings and developed her learning further by making a model of the wings. The resulting work is very impressive!⠀

Students continue with their home learning efforts

Students continue with their home learning efforts and are producing some excellent examples of interesting work. We are really pleased with the efforts of the vast majority of students who are showing a great level of independence, something that will stand them in good stead in the future. Working this way, week in week out, creates challenges, but we are pleased to see the teachers and students rise to these challenges. More online teaching has begun this week for Year 10 and Year 12 in the first instance, with teachers using digital technology to teach online, with a chance for questions and answers.⠀

The last week of this half term (w/c 18th May) is competition week in Maths for year 7, 8, 9 and 10. We want to see some creative “maths in lockdown” work. You can present it in any way you like, the more creative the better.⠀
⠀
Your work needs to have been submitted to your Maths teacher by Friday 5th June.⠀
⠀
Not sure what to do? 🤔⠀
➕ Think about how you have used or seen Maths whilst you have been in lockdown?⠀
➖ Counting the minutes until lockdown is over… guess what this is Maths! Time is Maths.⠀
✖️ Every time they update you on new cases and show you graphs… this is Maths!⠀
➗ Been baking? Can you think of where the Maths is in that?⠀
⠀
We hope this sparks your imagination… now go be creative!!! Good luck!⠀
