Unit Award Certificates

AQA Unit Award certificates aplenty!

Well done to 'ALL' our key stage 3 boys (but for some newly attending students) for achieving a great number of unit awards this term.

The certificates are a great incentive for our students, we shall encourage them to collect more in their individual folders for when they leave the Polygon in year 11.

Let's hope we have some heavy folders to impress woodbe  employees.

World Book Day

The awful weather didn't dampen our spirits!

As a school we have been celebrating world book day.

In addition to our tutor group creative writing this week, the boys have braved the rain to walk down to Waterstones and use their world book day voucher to choose a free book.  This year we had an amazing selection books to pick from.

The boys had great fun choosing their books and discussing the differences between them.

On return to school, we had the chance to dry out and warm up with a well earned hot chocolate. As a group we started to read 'Alex Rider- Undercover' by Anthony Horowitz .

Tash did some brilliant reading to the class and we are looking forward to finishing the book together. Thanks go to Miss Ifould for organising this event.

A brilliant selection of books

So much choice it takes time to choose!

The walk in the rain was worth it!

As a school we are going to continue to read and promote literacy across our curriculum, I wonder which of our students will read the most minutes this week?... 

Forest Schools with 3JB and 3AW

This Monday two of our year 7 classes were lucky enough to participate in forest schools, down at Itchen country valley park. They took part in a range of activities such as: Constructing their own hammock, fire lighting and making their own wooden necklace. A special mention to Lewis who received best pupil of the day and gained his own golden leaf token! Below are some pictures to show you all how we got on.

Pallet Cleansing

Thank you to Gary James Paul for giving our school 2 hard wood pallets in addition to some paving slabs for our allotment..

Hard wood pallets are much sought after and we're lucky to be given the opportunity to turn what looks like rubbish into something more interesting.

The wood is of a quality that can be turned on a lathe.

AFTER

Still a work in progress but we'll turn this into a cup to represent the schools dedication to recycling.
