In response to a suggestion Mr Johnson made last week, Tom Bloomer in Year 7 completed a sponsored silence on the anniversary of VE Day. He has so far raised an amazing £224 for the Royal British Legion Industries! Well done Tom! https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/tomsponsoredsilence
Hello everyone, I hope you’re all well and staying safe at home. It’s such a strange and unique time and I hope you are finding ways to enjoy it. It’s been great to see how well you’ve approached home learning and I have enjoyed seeing returned work! I am home-schooling my four year old and it’s been interesting and challenging
During lockdown, just like many of us, I wanted to undertake a new challenge. I have replaced golf with running and cycling. I recently completed the ‘Couch to 5K challenge’ and can now run 5km comfortably. For anyone who is thinking of taking up running but needs a little bit of encouragement, I would definitely recommend this. A great use
Working from home is strange for me, I am not used to sitting for so long each day at the laptop. I have enjoyed marking your work and sending you messages but I miss seeing and speaking to you all. I must admit one advantage of being at home is that I am spending much more time with my sons
Due to the lockdown, I have been ‘seeing’ even more of my family than I normally would (thanks Houseparty!) and we have been setting weekly challenges, ranging from baking to portrait painting. Last week’s challenge was to create a miniature garden. Mrs Alderson https://www.hexhammiddleschool.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/lockdown_blog_mrs_alderson_vid.mp4
Excellent work Year 7, some amazing masks made from the masked ball scene in Romeo and Juliet! Now we just have to wait till we can have a party… Miss Prince
We have had a very busy time at home during lockdown. As always at this time of year we have welcomed lots of new lambs and calves onto the farm! The weather has definitely been on our side this year, which has made being outside on the farmyard so much nicer. We even managed to do some den building in
Attention all budding bakers! Miss Kwella would like to set you the challenge this week of a rainbow themed bake off! Your challenge this week is to bake something with a rainbow theme to show support for NHS and keyworkers. It could be a sponge cake, biscuits, scones, a fruit desert, jelly, a pudding, ice lollies, cupcakes, or any other
