Hayfever
If your child suffers from hayfever, please remind them to start taking their medication as
taking it before the effects become apparent is the best way to avoid unnecessary
suffering. It should be sufficient for them to take their antihistamine medication before
they come to school and would help reduce disruptions to lessons. In addition, a consent
form can be obtained from the Welfare Office for eye drops and/or nasal sprays to be
taken during the school day.
Water
Especially now that the weather is changing for the better, it is important for students to keep
themselves hydrated during the day. Therefore, students should be reminded to bring a
bottle of water to school daily which can be filled up as necessary during their break or lunch
time.

Literacy Tip Of The Week
Using Podcasts
Podcasts can open up a range of different topics for children and young people
and help reluctant or struggling readers with their learning. They give them
access to discussions and information around topics which they may not have
been able to comprehend as well in print.
Podcasts can also be great for families to listen to together at home where parents may not be confident
readers.
Have a great week!

CELEBRATING SUCCESS IN THE MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGE FACULTY
The Spring term came with some challenges: remote learning took place during the first half and then all students came
back to school eager to carry on with their learning. All MFL teachers were very pleased to see all students engaging
well with their learning, either remotely or in class.
Year 7 learnt about activities linked to technology and develop further ways of expressing opinions.
Year 8 covered the topic of healthy living and discovered traditional dishes eaten in Francophone countries.
Year 9 are covering the theme 3 of the GCSE around Education and Post-16 which encourage them to
discuss their point of views on the uniform/rules and draw differences between English and French school.
Year 10 have been working on the topic of work and future career plans, alongside strengthening their
grammar knowledge.
Year 11/12/13 are working hard to complete their all-important mini-assessments instead of final exams.
