    The d ay w as grea t fun and very interac tive, with plenty of spea king g ame s and

    c ha llenges. The p upils lea rnt ho w to spe ak in front of a group with mo re

    c onfide nce and enjoyment. They had to think on their feet w hen g iven

    improvisational tasks and learnt the basics for any public speaking situation.

    It has been a busy term in the m usic dep artment. It ha s been go od to see the inc rea sing

    involveme nt o f visiting sta ff in the d ep artme nt, and Ca th Fish, our singing tea c her,

    hosted an excellent "at home " in the m usic dep artme nt, fea turing solos and ensemb les

    from a ll her stud ents. The standard wa s high and the p iec es a ll thoroug hly p rep ared ,

    and the eve ning w as enjoyed by all who a ttended : pup ils, pa rents and friend s. This wa s

    the sec ond in a series of "at ho mes" whose a im is to g ive stud ents the op portunity toperform in a mo re informa l atm osphere tha n our ma jor sc hoo l co ncerts; the first was a

    Yea r 7 & 8 soloists' evening, equa lly a suc c ess. Aga in, this wa s very well attended , and it

    is enc ourag ing to hear so many good young music ians.

    Just a fter half-term, the sc hoo l invited Raul d'Oliveira for a who le da y of Samb awo rkshop s, which rea lly go t the p up ils going! At the end of the d ay, the m em bers of the

    Yea r 10 wo rkshop performed the result of their wo rk to a ll Yea r 7 and 8 pup ils.

    Right now , the foc us of the dep artme nt has be en w ith the Yea r 11 students rec ording

    the ir performa nc es and c om positions. These rep resent a wide variety of styles, and it isgo od to see students ma king increa sing use o f the g rea t music tec hnolog y fac ilites we

    have: in pa rticular more students a re using Cub ase and Sibe lius softw are to p rod uc e

    high quality rec ordings and sc ores.

    Now a request: Mr. Wilson w ould very muc h like to know if any parents or friends of thesc hoo l wo uld be interested in forming a c ommunity choir which would rehea rse one

    evening in the music de partment: if there were suffic ient num bers we c ould work

    towa rds a performa nc e o f som ething like Orff's Ca rmina Burana . Please e ma il Mr. Wilson

    to express an interest!!

    On Tuesday the 29th of Marc h, Christ's stud ents performed the ir

    GCSE drama p iec es to a n aud ienc e o f pa rents, friend s and

    tea chers. There were three fa nta stic performa nc es whichinc lude d singing and danc ing as well as insp iring ac ting. All

    three plays touc hed on d ifferent top ic s that w e c an relate to in

    our own lives and na tura listic thea tre wa s used mo st o f the time.

    We witnessed some inc red ib ly em otiona l performa nces,

    c onveying how pe op le de al with rea l-life p rob lems.

    The night wa s a grea t succ ess and pa rents we re p roud , you

    c ould sense the friend ly atmo sphere, with polite c hat terbetwe en p arents, and a little nervousness from the stud ents who were performing. The

    evening ended on a high no te w ith p resents given out to the d rama tea c her, Miss

    Med wa y, whe n she m ade her ow n speec h ab out the students, and wa s a lmo st in tea rs. The

    spe ec h move d the c rowd too, so much so tha t some p eop le c ried . It wa s a ve ry happy

    occasion.

    Now the rea lity o f GCSE d rama ha s rea lly kic ked in for yea r 10 stud ents like me... the

    pressure is mo unting, b ut, by see ing the c ompetition, it is undoub ted ly a n insp ira tion to do

    better.

    ma ke sure that it is c hec ked and up loa de d o nto the Gua rdian website by the end of eac h

    month.

    As we ll as ga ining fantastic expe rience of w riting for the med ia , they a re b uild ing up a

    portfolio o f wo rk, "I enjoy do ing e xtra resea rch and finding o ut about stories in my loc al

    c om munity" c om me nted Wendy. "I've imp roved my Eng lish writing skills and m et a ll thedea d lines. This has bee n a rea l c ha lleng e but I've ga ined a sense of sa tisfac tion

    from upload ing ea c h artic le on time," ad ded Sop hie.

    They are now over half wa y through the sc heme and have met every de ad line so

    fa r. Providing they keep this up , they will rec eive a p rofessiona l letter of rec og nition to a dd

    First, there wa s the dem olishing o f the existing roo ms on b oth the first a nd sec ond floors of the

    had to c op e w ith ma ny change s to their da ily routines. The w orst a spe c t is p rob ab ly the no ise.

    How ever, the b uilders a re on sc hed ule a nd there have b ee n no a c c idents or mista kes and it is

    The plans for Emlyns Garden are now completed and Year10 vo luntee rs will have a

    c oup le o f Sa turda ys a t the b eg inning o f next term p lanting up the g a rde n, before

    orga nising and running a spec ia l event to officially op en it.

    At the time o f writing a 1-2 me tre d iam eter wire a nd pa pe r

    ma c h c rown of thorns has a lmost be en c ompleted by DT

    stud ents for the Easter servic e. A number of stud ents havewritten about subjects that are thorns in the flesh of

    huma nity today. Their p iec es will form a n impo rta nt p art o f

    the servic e, and theyll add a thorn to the crown after theyve read their contribution.

    Textiles stud ents will then transform the c rown of thorns with ga rland s of ma terial

    flowers that have been m ad e in the de pa rtment. One o f the sc hool ba nds will be

    accompanying some of the singing and well also be using well-know n hits tha tcapture the themes were exploring.

    The stud ents ra ised over 500 for Red Nose Da y which was fabulous. Stud ent Counc il

    p ic ked two c harities for our Lent fund -ra isingFive Talents and Ma ke a Wish. Coming

    a t the same time a s Red Nose Da y the e nthusiasm to raise m oney has wa ned and

    weve not done very well for these charities. Im keen that our students enjoy raising

    money for c harity, and dont experience it as a pressure, so if you ha ve a ny idea s

    abo ut how we c an enco urag e them in this area, please let me know.

    I hop e everyone ha s a grea t ho liday and tha t those c elebra ting Passove r, Easter, orthe ma ny spec ial Hindu days will find b lessing in these festivals.
