Wickersley Panto 2019 has begun!

Snow White is on the run for her life as she tries to escape her evil stepmother! But she’ll be helped along the way by one thigh-slapping handsome Prince, three very silly servants and, in Snow White’s darkest hour right in the middle of the deep dark forest, seven funny little friends…

It’s a tale of two Queens, but which one will win this game of thrones?

SNOW WHITE runs all week until the final performances on Saturday at 1:00pm and 6:00pm.

Students took part in five training sessions with FC Porto academy coaches before playing competitive games against FC Porto development teams. Wickersley won 4 out of the 6 games. Both boys teams won their 1st games 1-0 and 2-0 respectively while the girls secured a clean sweep on in the first round of fixtures winning 3-0 under the lights in the late kick off. The girls secured a second win in two days winning 3-1 in their second fixture while the boys were just edged out in their second games losing narrowly in each. The commitment, endeavour and passion on show in all games was outstanding.⠀

In their Business lessons, Year 9 students have been finding out about the costs of running a business. The business that was chosen was a coffee shop. Students carried out research into the different types of costs and how they affect the profit made by a business.

They then set about marketing their idea and designed a uniform for the staff.

Students in Year 7 Religious Studies have recently been learning about Sikhism. Meredith Davidson went above and beyond outside of lesson and researched a recipe to make Karah Parshad (a sweet dish which Sikhs share to show everyone is equal and that life is sweet).⠀
⠀
Meredith brought in what she had made, including photographs of each step of the method and was able to explain to the rest of the class what she had done in the kitchen. Meredith’s classmates were then able to sample some of the karah prashad.⠀
⠀
Well done Meredith for bringing our learning to life!!⠀

Wickersley students had a great visit to Amazon’s huge fulfilment centre in Doncaster.⠀
⠀
Across the globe, Amazon has more than 175 operating fulfilment centres and more than 150 million square feet of space where employees pick, pack, and ship Amazon customer orders to the tune of millions of items per year. ⠀
⠀
Our students had the opportunity to get close up and were able to see how the items are stored, collected and organised for customer delivery. It was a unique opportunity to see the inside of a giant piece of logistical magic and to understand the roles of all the different people employed there.⠀

Wickersley School and Sports College would like your help in celebrating former student Joss Rowley-Stark’s 21st Birthday Celebration by raising money for The Lewis Moody Foundation.⠀
⠀
Joss was a model student and a fantastic young man. He was courageous in every aspect of his life. He was a role model to others, his effort and attitude to everything was amazing. Joss was a high achiever across school; a student who always tried his best in every lesson. He was an outstanding sportsman; he represented school at Rugby, Athletics and Football. He was a very good athlete and was selected to represent South Yorkshire at the English Schools Championships in Athletics. Joss was mature beyond his years, had a great sense of humour and was a pleasure to be around.⠀
⠀
The inspiration behind The Lewis Moody Foundation was 16 year old Joss who devastatingly passed away just after his birthday in April 2013. Joss would have been 21 on the 6th March 2018 and in memory and celebration of his life his mum and Dad, Graeme and Tiffany, have set up Joss’s 21st Birthday Challenge. #charity #fundraising #thelewismoodyfoundation

At the end of the previous half term 58 students from years 10, 11, 12 and 13 visited the British Army at the Strensall Barracks in Yorkshire. The students experienced life in the Army stopping for two nights in the barracks and getting to meet dozens of different Army personnel.⠀
⠀
The students took part in team building command tasks plus many different physical and mental challenges. They had the opportunity to work with the Black Rats, under the command of Major Humphries from HQ at Catterick.⠀
⠀
The students (and staff) enjoyed every minute of their stay, and particularly enjoyed the shooting range and meeting The Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers (1REME), Queens Own Yeomanry (QOY), Military Police (1RMP) and Medics. They challenged themselves on the assault course, took part in a competition on the shooting range and even got to sit on a military vehicle.⠀

Skyla and her trio took home the silver medal in the European Championships held in Israel. This was the first time the girls had represented Great Britain as part of the official Team GB and is the biggest competition for acrobatic gymnastics alongside the world championships, each held every two years. Each gymnast there was a champion within their own country, with 22 countries being represented in Skyla’s category – the largest category in the competition.⠀
⠀
Although the first day didn’t go as well as expected with the girls finishing sixth overall, they came back fighting for their second routine to secure their place in the final. The top 8 countries then had to compete in the final where the girls placed second behind the host nation of Israel and ahead of Russian Federation, bringing home the silver medal.⠀
⠀
Being selected to represent GB in a European Championships is a huge honour, being on the podium alongside such amazing gymnasts is a feeling I’m sure Skyla and the girls will never forget. It was a fantastic set of results for Team GB as a whole and we are so proud that Skyla was selected to be part of it. This really has completed the most amazing season in the most spectacular of ways.⠀
