Mrs Roe's weekly update - week ending 21st October

To the parents

Well, this half-term has flown by, ending with a training day, so our pupils were able to have an extra day holiday, while the teachers were hard at work! However, the pupils too have worked hard this term, and have made great progress in their language learning. Year 7 pupils have settled in well, and forty pupils so far have signed up for the Pas-de-Calais trip next June. There are a few places left, so please see Mme Plouchart if you are interested – you can see from the slide show in the MFL corridor how great it was last year! This week we had an interesting visit from some teachers from the UAE and 8f2 was the lucky class chosen to enjoy and Arabic taster session. The teachers kindly left their powerpoint and have allowed us to use it, so 8f2 pupils or any other interested pupils can download it to remind themselves of the language they learnt. Please see the link below. Many thanks to Mr Hussein and all UAE teachers and telling us all about their interesting country. After half term, Miss Bell and Mrs Roe will be running y11 revision sessions after school on a Thursday, and so all parents will be receiving a letter in the post about this.

Mrs Roe's weekly update - week ending 14th October

This term has really flown by and we’re almost at half-term!!  It’s been so busy with one thing and another.  I had to speak to the school governors this week about Grangefield MFL department and tell them all about the opportunities we give to the pupils to study languages and they all were pleased and excited about the work we are doing.  I have met with the other members of the department and we have been discussing and planning the exciting Carousel of languages we are going to offer our year  8’s after Christmas.  We met Susanna – our wonderful Spanish assistant this week – so welcome to her and she has got some great work planned for our pupils.  The language clubs in French and Spanish are well under way, the French club with Claire is open to all pupils on a Friday lunchtime and the Spanish club  with Susanna will take place on a Tuesday lunchtime – so come on Grangefield pupils – join Claire and Susanna at their clubs!  Details are on posters around the school!  Oh – the certificates from the Language World Championships have arrived from New Zealand – wahoo!  Our Head, Mr Litchfield will be presenting them soon – the governors were so impressed with our pupils efforts in these Championships – well done everybody!!!!
