Mrs Roe's weekly update - week ending January 27th 2012

Another week has flown by at Grangefield, we just don't know where the time goes!!!  It's all very exciting on the International front.  Our letters were well received in the school in Rusumo in Rwanda and the pupils are going to send our year 8's letters back next week.  Also, some of Mme Plouchart's and Miss Bell's year 7 classes  received letters from some year 7 pupils in France.  Again with year 7's, Miss Bell's class have been practising for the Spelling Bee and the best four pupils will enter the Regional Spelling Bee competition - year 7's - please see the links below.   Mme Plouchart is planning an international show in July which could be  a show in it's own right or shown in Assemblies.  She has put lots of songs which pupils can choose in Fronter under MFL Resources so - allez nos chanteurs!!!!  A school in Zaragoza has approached us with a view to an exchange, which sounds very exciting. Pupils going on the year 7 trip to France should bring in their passport photos and dietary requirements by 20th February to Mme Plouchart, and the final deposit is due soon too.  The year 9/10 Battlefield trip is still open to pupils, so please hand in your first deposits to the office as soon as possible.  On Monday the school celebrated the Chinese New Year, and pupils across the school were making red envelopes, dragons, finding out about festivities in China as well as other festivities from other countries.  The year 11 BTec students put on a fabulous Chinese shadow play and the year 8 musicians played some haunting Chinese music which was appreciated by all year groups throughout the morning.  We also had year 11 parents evening in the middle of all these activities, so year 11's - keep up the good work and do yourselves, your parents and the school proud!

Mrs Roe's weekly update - week ending 20th January 2012 !!

We've had - believe it or not - another very hectic week at Grangefield!  Mme Plouchart has been very busy preparing for the International Student Conference on Monday at Grangefield.  Miss Bell's year 7 pupils are working hard preparing for the Spelling Bee, which you can find out more about just above this update!  Numbers are creeping up for the History/French trip and over 30 pupils have paid their first deposit.  Year 8 pupils are well into the Carousel of Languages, and should all be thinking about what project they'd like to do in the last week of this half term.  The projects and QR codes are easily accessible in the MFL corridor.  We have made contact with a school in Rwanda, so some of our year 8's have been busy writing emails to prospective pen friends - it's all rather exciting!! There is a great presentation on the screen in the MFL corridor, with regards languages at Grangefield, so year 9's especially, please take a look as you are soon going to be making some very important decisions about your options.
