On the 28th and 29th November, 29 Dance students went to London to participate in a range of dance based activities. They got the chance to see two amazing shows, Mamma Mia and Matilda, which lived up to expectations with outstanding casts, music, sets and special effects. Students also got the opportunity to work with cast members from both of these shows by participating in a workshop at the famous Pineapple Dance Studios where they learned repertoire from the shows.⠀
⠀
In addition to this, they also visited the Royal Opera House where they got to go on a backstage tour looking at the costume department, props department, backstage, in the auditorium and they even got to see the principal dancers taking part in a ballet class. All students behaved impeccably and were a credit to Wickersley.⠀

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
