On Friday last week, Primary held the final of our Spoken Poetry Competition. Class and year group finals happened during the week leading up to the final and on Friday the finalists from each year group performed to an audience of their peers, their parents and our judges; Mr Turner, Ms. Murphy, Mr Cannon and Ms. Croft. The finalists were judged on how well the student knew the poem, if they had good expression, if they had good body langauge, gave eye-contact and had actions, if they were articulate, had good stage presence and if they could project their voices. Finally they were judged on how entertaining their poems were.
In Years 1, 2 and 3 the winners were:
1st place - Zilia from 2 Blueberry
2nd place - Nik from 3 Marigold
3rd place - Eylul for 3 Saffron
In Years 4, 5 and 6 the winners were:
1st place - Filip from 6 Amber
2nd place - Zaki from 4 Plum
3rd place - Mira from 5 Aqua
A big well done to everyone who took part. We were very impressed with the range of poems and even had a few children who wrote their own!

Year 12 have been spending a lot of time in Sports Hall One over the last week. Not doing sport, although they could tell you the science behind it…
There was a fun packed programme for the secondary students remaining on-site, which followed the 5 Co-Curricular strands. Students were immersed in languages, film-making, STEAM activities and cooking. They learned about children's rights and advocacy, and showed their creative talents through artwork. They hiked in the hills and formed friendships across year groups. See the Firefly page for further details and photographs
It has been a very memorable end of the primary journey for our Year 6 students. This last week of term has been jam packed. On Monday and Tuesday, the students performed the end of year production of ‘Olivia’, on Tuesday morning, there was a year group water fight and on Wednesday afternoon, they finally graduated with a special ceremony.
As a community, we've been actively promoting healthy eating habits through our weekly articles about life in the kitchen. With the summer holidays just a few days away and the heatwave this summer, we must all be more mindful of our fluid intake.
