All away matches have been cancelled as well as the U11A home match on outside courts

The actors enjoyed performing to the children and picked out a few volunteers who were encouraged to use their language skills to be involved in some of the scenes. The Onatti Theatre Company specialises in performing plays to young children in foreign languages.

Our thanks go to our Head of French, Miss Sarah Menegaz, for organising such an enjoyable afternoon which helped build the pupils’ confidence and understanding of spoken French.

The idea is to work on the manual settings and less on the automatic and programmed settings. You will discover how much manual control on your camera’s settings will improve your image making.

During the Autumn Term and number of our parents have been working, Debby Besford, a professional photographer who has many years experience.

During the eight week course they covered location and portrait photography as well as working towards a photographic narrative. The final result is a series of images that can be diverse in subject matter and achieve good results for their technical and creative abilities.

• Areas covered include:
• Getting to know your Camera (Megapixels, Resolution, and File Formats)
• Exposure (ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed) and Metering
• Histograms
• White Balance
• Camera Modes
• Composition Techniques
• Basic lighting techniques
• Focusing
• Photographic exhibition

The photography club’s exhibition, on display in the Outer Hall, is just one excellent example of four parents who wanted to understand how to work creatively and confidently with their DSLR cameras.

Photography exhibitors: Alex Crossley, Annie Crabtree, Alison Leinster & Jo Gudgin.

The school intends to operate as normal and decisions will  be made with respect to finish times on Monday nearer the time.

The website and the office will have the latest information.

In addition, Year 3 pupil, Jack R, was presented with a Player of the Day award for his hockey skills at his local club and was delighted to be presented with this award again in Friday’s assembly. Well done Jack.

Most pupils were baffled when the first project was to build a cube using 3mm sq strips of balsawood. However, all became clear when they started the structure of this term’s project – The Pushycat. This model features a complex structure built entirely from small strips of balsa wood, individually glue together to produce a rigid box structure. The cube skills were put to good use, as the pupils have built extremely light airframes capable of handling high loads.

We also introduced the process of tissue covering the models, which is tricky and requires a great deal of patience. The models are powered by rubber motors and wound using small geared winders and are capable of flying for over a minute in the school’s Sports Hall!
