3HI - British Values Acrostic Poem

3HI have been working hard this week reflecting on the last half term in citizenship. They all individually produced a British Value acrostic poem, which we then used to create a class acrostic poem. Their joint effort is below. Well done Cameron, Sean, Oscar, Bradley and Andrew.

Ricky Tart Returns

Local poet Ricky Tart returns to the Polygon School to work with the new year 7s in a series of workshops. We were also lucky enough to have a film crew to join us at the same time to record our progress. This footage will be published once edited. Below is a taster of the good work from the year 7s so far.

I'm so proud of Sean what an amazing effort. Not only did he great his own beat he also performed his work. AMAZING!

There are no words to describe how great the year 8s engaged in their session with Ricky. The proof is in the following performances. Well done boys you were fantastic.

4SK lead a whole school assembly!

PIXL Edge qualification- an initiative challenge.

As part of their PIXL Edge qualification the 4SK boys designed and led the egg drop challenge as part of a whole school assembly. The boys had to use their initiative to design a container (using limited materials) which would protect an uncooked egg when dropped from 3 meters! Well done 4SK for undertaking this challenge and thanks to all the tutor groups for participating so well!

The limited materials included string, tissue paper and cardboard tubes

Powerboating and Year 7

Year 7 Powerboating

Year 7 have started the term running with a trip to the Solent waters with Wetwheels Hamble.
Our boys had the experience of travelling on one of the fastest boats in the Solent - speeds up to 40 knots! All the boys showed resilience to the weather and embraced the opportunity. Great start boys, well done!

First poet of the academic year - Adisa

As part of the cooperative trust project, we have been lucky enough to welcome another poet to the Polygon school.

Entertaining the boys in a whole school assembly Adisa brings a new style to perform to the boys.
